workshop your way into brevity.

i want your time, so i am making sure i get it.
if you don't give me your time i'll not look at you twice...so, shall we dance?



okay.
this contest requires the participants to work on two things:
a prose like write(100-250 words)
and a final 10-25 words poem.


for the first part, you will be given four days to write on any subject matter...

for the second part, you will be given three days to cut the first part down into a concise/ compressed form; poem.


how you'll trim down your poetic prose; prose
is up to you.

you don't have to show me the process... it should be obvious what will lead you to do what.


reserve only if you think you can commit to something like this.
if after four days i don't see the first part done, i'll get rid of your reservation.

and oh do NOT start the second part before day 5.

enjoy.
