An Economy of Words
Could you write a story using only six sentences?
I tried to write one using six words and it was a killer assignment. It made me think though and stretch my writing muscles.
I may try to craft a six sentence one and send it into this blog. Let me know if you decide to play along.

Cool! Disney trains its artists to master expressing a complete character in less that ten lines. Talk about choosing your moves carefully...
Hmm. Now I must ponder 6 sentences...And sleep... ;-)

I don't mind if I'm a little crazy. Better than being boring and normal!

Yes, Susan, I remember his stories. I loved his writing style form the first time I read him.

The answer to your question is, yes. The addendum, though, is that all people are mad. It's merely a matter of degree and how they happen to be twisted in their own way.
I like the writing challenges you put forth. The exercises you provide. Someday you'll make a good teacher; because you are inquisitive and enjoy your creative muscles.
Until next time, Sara. Keep smiling.
