Not that I'm any expert, but some good responses here... as to the word count, if you were entering a competition or submitting to a magazine, then yes, it would be important to stick to the limit set otherwise your story is just discarded, no matter how brilliant it might be. And if it were a real exercise, or again a competition entry, it would have to begin with the set words as well. Ashbee... now here's me thinking you and Mr A were a nice, normal couple.....!!!!!!!! So does anyone want to set a similar exercise in a couple of weeks time, or shall I do it again, I don't mind.
