Recently I was introduced to a new category of writing by one of my colleagues called 55 Fiction. Complete detail about the concept can be found here but in one line it means to come up with a fiction story in less than 55 words. As I mentioned in my last post that one of the reasons I write is to make myself a better story-teller and be able to communicate my thoughts in the best possible way. I think 55 Fiction could be a very effective tool in helping me achieve those goals. The need to convey the full story contained by the word limit would actually push my thinking limits beyond the threshold to come up with new ways to convey my message. To be able to convey the complete message in fewer words is an extremely impressive and powerful trait that is exhibited by leaders of the world and I think it would be a great exercise to try and see how well I do.
They say “Speech is Silver, Silence is gold”. I would like to add brevity is platinum.
