In an effort to be more disciplined in my writing, I wanted to try writing a drabble. A drabble is a very short story of exactly 100 words. Thanks, Stevil for giving me this idea and for sharing your thought-provoking, heartfelt drabbles with the world!
In typical foolish fashion, however, I completed my “drabble” BEFORE I fully researched and understood what a drabble is. So since this one doesn’t really count, I decided to change the name to “babble”. That’s kinda what it is anyway. Check out a couple of Stevil’s posts here and here if you wanna see how it’s supposed to be done.

Hey Steve! Love IS selfless. If only I had 1o1 words, maybe I could have turned it from a babble to a drabble!
…indescribable. Now what to do with the 97 words left …?
I’ll try to figure something out within the next couple of days. Although technically to fully answer this question, (and in exactly 100 words) it could take a lifetime…
I think that my shortest post has been about 350 words. Our annual Christmas letter was probably about 200 words, with the suggestion that they could read the blog for all the details. I’m way to 19th century for drabble! Huzzah for elaboration.
