Little Elegy

I just submitted a micro fiction piece ("Big Question") to the intriguing journal Little Elegy. Getting my point across in just a hundred words was a bit of a challenge. I thought my first draft went pretty well, only to find out it came to over 200 words. Delivering the same message with less than half as many words required quite a bit of tinkering, but the end product turned out ten times better than the first draft. Saying a lot with a few words is a rare skill--hopefully this process will teach me something.
