I’d never heard of a drabble until I started listening to The Drabblecast, an online podcast of short stories. They start off many of their episodes with a drabble before they get into their main feature. So what is a drabble, you ask. It’s a short story of exactly 100 words. Not 99; not 101; one hundred.

And they’re fun. So, I tried my hand at writing them. They’re a little hard to write because they’re so darned quick, but that’s also what makes them so easy to listen to.

I ended up with a few and sent them off; finding that there are other markets for drabbles besides The Drabblecast. And suddenly, I’ve had three of my drabbles selected for publication within the last week.

Sweeeeeet! So, if you don’t know what a drabble is, you should look them up on the Internet or check out The Drabblecast, among others. You may find that you like them.
