"You Can Say A Lot In 100 Words"
For fans of the written word, this site is a must see. The idea is to write 100 words, no more no less, every day. It looks like a user account is required, which makes it basically a 100 word blog.
But what is neat about it to me is the way that writing in exactly 100 words makes the writing more expressive, yea even poetic. I think it would be a good idea to "journal" in 100 words every day, just to get your thoughts down and to foster creativity.
And, at the risk of looking ignorant, can anyone tell me where those first 3 examples come from? The first is from A Tale of Two Cities, no doubt. But the other two?
Special thanks to my wife for sharing this discovery.
And if there are any creative cats out there who would like to share with me your 100 words, send them to the email address below. I'd like to see what you can do!

The second is definitely the opening to the Iliad.
Third one is William Gibson's Neuromancer.
