I guess Hemingway is famous for his six word story, "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn." I will have to look for Steve Moss' book.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09408845654668250300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339010711047634783.post-28190664267428038792009-11-11T20:24:00.038-08:002009-11-11T20:24:00.038-08:00David, your love of contests amazes me!

It is inspiring to read such positive writing about contests.<br />I was recently told to try writing an 11 page early reader story I was working on in 50 words. I did and now I am working on a 2 page picture book that is much better-- so the 50-55 words or less is a great idea on many levels!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131575604953515285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339010711047634783.post-24135633431596617872009-11-11T19:26:31.637-08:002009-11-11T19:26:31.637-08:00Good idea, David.

Are you going to tell us how many words are in one of your upcoming picture books?johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09674921059674712837noreply@blogger.com
