It's great having all these long articles, but how about a few super short entries to break up the monotony?  Imagine that this book is going to live on the windowsill in your bathroom.  Some mornings you'll want to settle in for a good, long read -- others you'll just have a second for a quick bullet-point chuckle.

What would make a good short submission for this book?  Try your hand at something under 500 words!

You're right...short and punchy is the way to go for this thing.

For short humorous how-to articles 1500 words is really pushing it.

How bout YOU give it a try, senor chang?

but i'm....i'm scared...

I've got two that I'll be posting in the next few days.

Agreed. 

I also think we need 2-3 more submissions from women....there have to be at least a few things we need help with....

That's not a very manly thing to say.

We got it.

my first submission here went to 592 words... almost made the -500 cut but not quite!

I may have thought twice about posting my piece if I'd noticed this thread...

I think we need to put together a general overview guide about different lengths and topics, as discussed before.

Will that just have to go in these forums, or is there another nifty feature that will take care of this?
