The Truth about Drabbles

[louiselux]

I want to know what you all think about drabbles. For me, the best drabbles have an impact that is inversely proportional to their size-- they hit the reader round the face with the all the force of a large well-swung haddock. That's what I aspire to, anyway, one day. I also tend to think that to do that they require a lot of time and effort.

My answer to the second question was necessarily incorrect. I wanted to say, "No, I don't enjoy writing drabbles," but that wasn't available as a choice. The only thing available was "No, I never write them." Which is not true. I do write drabbles. I just don't like it much. But then I don't get a lot of pleasure from writing, only from having written.

I actually had that option, but then cut it out because I thought it was redundant. I think I was wrong! Actually, it's funny you should comment because a comment of your about drabbles was partly ther inspiration for this post - you said something about how drabbles took you hours to write. They take me hours to write too, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
