RE: My First Entry For Fiftywords Challenge: "The Moment He Stops Crying"
I did read the FAQ about what can you write in this challenge, and the example of the short story about a "moment", different moments. But a moment in video game? That didn't pop up in mind. And when it did soon after, I didn't think it would be a good and acceptable way to write about video game, or this fiftywords challenge here. Then I read your short story, then you know the rest...
That exact moment in the game was the first that come to mind. I have another moment I could think of that I think suited with the word "tear", but I don't know if I can make another story. This took me hours to make lol.
The fun part is when you're able to fit them into your own niche, I agree with that.
Rules for something like this are more of a recommendation. I’ve seen some people go way over 50 words while others have broken down long stories into 50-word chunks. The fun thing about this is it does not take a lot of time to do and the person running it has changed a couple of times. With changes of the guard so has flavor and the kinds of people who do this as well. It is amazing to have watch it change over time.
I’ve been doing these off and on for well over a year. Most of them I’ve made into gaming ones. Sometimes I’ll go week or a month without one. Other times I just felt like “hey this make a great 50 words story.” Thankfully my first one is buried deep and lost into the void. It was so bad!
