Short. Succinct. To the point.
Or.
Wandering. Meandering. Taking the long path through the enchanted woods to get to the concrete jungle.
Say what has to be said, and make us think about it.
Make the words hammer into our skulls. Make them caress the outer most edges of our senses.
Be angry. Be funny. Be true.
Talk about the conversations you had as you jogged through the park this morning.
Or the fight you had with your boss.
Tell us about the dark and twisted creatures that inhabit your waking hours.
Or the view from your window as you forced yourself to get back to work on a sunny day in July.
Talk about crime, justice, politics, spirituality, and your take on life.
Make it a conversation. A monologue. An essay. A poem that insists on flowing in straight lines.
Is it an argument? An idea? An emotion?
Tell our readers what makes you tick, what turns you off, what enriches your soul.
Say it strong. Say it interesting. And say it in fewer than 1000 words.
