I had no answer, despite all the times I’ve asked myself the same direct question.
On the Swedish poetry site poeter.se there’s a rather popular short-story format :”100 words”, i.e. you should write something interesting in exactly 100 words.
I decided to try a new format for poetry, to use exactly 100 characters, including spaces. In the process I realized that Word doesn’t count the “new paragraph”, so neither do I 🙂
What do you think? Is this an interesting format?
