This morning, I stumbled in to a rather important meeting nearly twitching from twin deficits in sleep and kcals. I furrowed my brow, willed myself to focus…and found myself talking about nanofiction<\/em>, of all things. The man I was meeting with had googled me<\/a> and he wanted to know what the deal was with “that 55 thing” he had seen on my blog<\/a>. As I hastily prepared an answer, I mentally swore at myself that if I used the word “meme<\/a>” more than once, I’d deny myself food for such lame blogginess. I am pleased to report [burp] that I did not suffer from starvation today.<\/p>\n\n

Buzzwords aside, I was struck by the look on the man’s face when I told him about Hemingway’s famous piece of flash fiction<\/a>, all six words of it. He was concomitantly fascinated and appreciative, as all good readers are. It was at that very moment that I thought of Jai and nearly drowned in 55-related guilt. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n

Since we’ve done this<\/a> and this<\/a>, I figured that today would be an apposite day for quelque-chose similar. Oui? Oui. We will make others green<\/strong> with envy at all of our brilliant fun. As always, you are welcome to comPLETEly ignore my thematic suggestions and doowutchyalike. Just do it in the comments below, mmmkay? And remember, you might be hungover from too much guiness, but you can still string together 55 words, my out-of-practice leprechauns. \ud83d\ude09 Seek sympathy for headaches, nausea, dehydration and lost pots of gold elsewhere– we’ve got fiction to write!:+:<\/p>\n\n
