Sometimes I joke that the perfect story, if I ever write it, will have one word.
Hahaha, thank you for planting this idea in my mind. Now I'm thinking of a way to do that.. But even "The End" are 2 words. 😅
This is a reality that many people live.
Sad but true, I'm sure many can relate to that story one way or another. Even utilizing the pipe the kids used to play with to eavesdrop was a small but great detail.
I rarely write stories (for publication) because it feels risky.
I totally hear you. I'd rather spend a week or more preparing and writing science article than writing a story.
