200 Characters, Or Less

200 Characters. Can you write something using 200 characters (not counting spaces) or less?

Late Nights, Caramel Coffee and The Sims.

My body craves bed, all snug and comfortable. My face feels tired and wants to close off for the night. But here I am, playing The Sims, drinking caramel coffee long after midnight has come and gone.


A good way to twist your words around to fit into a tight spot. Count your letters online at Letter Count. For those who can't do 200 letters try 200 Sacred Words. (Found this the next night).

I also found the Word Count Journal:
Sometimes a little bit really does go a long way. In Word Count Journal, by gradually building up your writing stamina and discipline, you will see just how easy it is to get a whole lot done. By simply writing a set number of words each day, every day, you will write a whopping 66,795 words at the end of one calendar year. Little by little, through the power of series, the total of your written words will add up to more words than contained in the average novel.

That's very cool! I've been doing the 100 words challenge at Velvet Verbosity; I don't know that I can take on something harder. 100 words is hard enough!
