Most of my blog posts have been written in the 100Words format -- exactly 100 words, no more and no less.

Why? when most of the blog posts out there can run into the tens of 100s.

Because:
1. 100 words is not threatening, you can write about anything in only 100 words without feeling overwhelmed at the idea of putting pen to paper;
2. 100 words is focusing, you put your ideas down with economy and elegance and cannot be betrayed by rambling off-point.
3. Word Count Tool makes it easy to dance with the format.

Leaving you free to dance with your reader.
