[IMO] Rant Letter

Dear blog,

I was told a week ago to write a short story consisting of 300 to 500 words. The first thing that came to my mind was my secondary school compositions. And that had required more than a thousand words.

It had been easy to spill my guts and brain juice out on 2 pieces of foolscap paper. But that was 9 years ago.

Since then, all I have ever wrote were reports. Business reports. Reports on what is strategic human resource, what is leadership, how to train and retain employees. Those reports did wonders for my creativity.

Now, I'm in a storytelling and scriptwriting class, I guess I need to seek that tiny bit of creativity that has probably rusted somewhere in my brain and torture it mercilessly. And I realized that the difficult part is actually the 500 words limit.

Oops, what? What limit was that again?

Cheers and have a nice day,
dayever

[IMO] What is a Story?

A story is a tale (be it fictional or non-fictional) that aims to bring across a point or more to the audience.
It does not have to restricted to print-type, it could be in a form of music, art, moving pictures et cetera.

Involves at least one character, setting and a plot.
