Being busy makes it difficult to write. But there shouldn't be a problem without a solution, right?

Enter the Very Short Story, something that I just recently discovered on twitter, and I must say that some of them were pretty inspiring. Follow Veryshortstory on twitter or check him out on Facebook if you want a better idea of what I mean.

The intrigue and twist of some amazing stories compressed into a line or 2. Elegant, slick, pithy. And so, on that note of inspiration, I'm going to attempt to do the same. Low commitment for writers, easy on readers.

I'm hoping that this'll help keep my creative side off the couch until I find the time for my next mini-novel, so do check back every 3 days or so for my Very Short Stories. Afterall, they'd only take you about 30 seconds to read them. And if you were entertained, even if for a while, do leave some comments, just because I love reading comments.
