Thanks for posting in The Ink Well. We are looking for great stories to curate, with excellent characters, action, dialog and narrative. In our guidelines (see our manifesto), we suggest a bare minimum of 350 words, in order to develop a strong story. You'll find great tips for developing characters, conflict, story arcs and more in our catalog of fiction writing tips. Good luck and keep writing.A beautiful and interesting peetic text, @stormcharmer , which can perhaps be read in the key of a short story.
I apologize @theinkwell! I hadn't even looked at the word count when I wrote this quick piece. It was one of those days where I realized I hadn't written in months, and if I didn't write immediately, I would let another day pass by. Thank you for the re-direction to the guidelines and thank you for the grace to let this one slide by! I'll be certain to make the next story hit that 350 threshold 😅
