Issue 2: Compulsions
I picked up the autobio edition of 400 Words from the Microcosm webstore about a month ago and I just got to digging into it. In checking out their site I've noticed that not only has another issue come out, but they're also accepting submissions for a third.
Basically, they give you a theme, and you write about it in 400 words or less. Simple concept, and the execution is excellent. Of course a few of these stories come off like Sylvia Plath outtakes, but for the most part, the honesty and simple expressiveness is very intriguing. Also, speaking of honesty, this makes a great bathroom read for the perpetually curious. Gotta get writing...
