I love to write drabbles, which are a specialized type of flash fiction that are only 100 words long. They're like potato chips - you can't write just one. But while 100 words might seem easy on the surface, the difficulty lies in trying to have a complete story arc in such a short space. I find that humor usually works best, as it's just enough time for a punchline. However, sometimes a story takes a more serious turn, such as my recently published story "Breakup," which appeared in The Drabble today. It took a number of edits to get it just right. I hope you enjoy reading it.
