Stories short

 * stories short *
Tell a story shorten
Epic make two bit
Novel make novella
Succinct is best bitl
Give story all the glory
In a space confined
Restrict flow of words
Create details bald
Do not hair and feather them
Metaphor or analogy better them
Let the story stand
Less words than you plan
Collapse chapters on themselves
Shrink or minimize
Cut back and down
Prune the vines
Dig out new growth
Frown your favourite lines
Hold them under till drown
Submerge every thought
Every line of exploration
Leave story short
Leave story raw
As reader's feelings be
When your story read.
