Writing Exercise #3: 100 Words

Write a story in exactly 100 words -- no more, no less.

Your story must have a beginning, a middle, and an end. It must have two characters: a protagonist and an antagonist. It must have conflict. And in some way, the protagonist's ground situation must be changed by the end of the story.

Scene and Sequel

I was talking with Nate the other day and he expressed some trepidation about writing a "scene." I thought it might be helpful to provide some sense of what a scene actually is.

I found this, which is as succinct an explication of scene and sequel as I've ever read, even if the rest of this person's blog is, well, interesting in a different sense.

I hope this helps. Looking forward to reading everyone's take on this exercise.
