Write an exactly 50-word mini saga. I hear this can become
quite addictive. I enjoyed writing this one, it’s a memoir

Orion
Predawn, on the dock, overlooking the Sound, I see Orion
rising over the hill behind our condominium for the first
time this season. I recall this was Dad’s code name during
the war – the hunter – recovering looted Nazi art. I am
saddened I never heard those stories from my father. (50
words.)
Certainly, you can write your mini-saga longhand. The more
intimate the saga the better it lends itself to
handwriting. Handwriting may also bring you more into the
present than keyboarding.
Play with it. Experiment.
I like MS Word because it’s easy to track how many words
I’ve composed using its word count tool. It even has a
toolbar you can use to keep a quick count.
What would your life be like if you wrote one a day for a
month?
This idea for the 50-word mini saga comes from A Whole New
Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future by Daniel
Pink. Enjoy the book.
