Will look forward to reading your work, Roz! The strict limit was a curse and a blessing in some ways...as I said in the essay, I loved the challenge but I wouldn't ever do it again! Writing that 850-word essay was such a lovely break. :)

"Essayists are perpetually having an internal conversation among the three selves: writer, narrator, editor. The hardest part is learning how to lean into the narrator more than the writer, and to avoid eye contact with the editor." ~ Olga Katsovskiy brevity.wordpress.com/2024/11/15/t...
