The snowman was grumpy.
He was glad to have been given an icy overcoat but wished that the children stopped piling on the pounds or he would have to go on a diet.
Also, he grumbled, he would like a nice fat cigar for a nose, not a silly carrot.

Pleased that you liked this, Jenny. Thanks for letting me know..
Seeing that this week's IP also suggested micro fiction for prose writing I thought I'd give it a go. There is not much that one can do with a maximum word limit of fifty but a child's mini tale might possibly do.

You've been busy this week, Luigi! I was getting dazzled-eyed trying to see if you had managed to make it exactly 50 words. My count seems to say yes. It certainly seems complete in itself, quite a feat for the number or words. Rhiannon

I like to keep my brain in training, Rhiannon. I rely on the computer word-count tool to keep track of the number of words or characters. This piece is possibly the shortest I have ever written, although I have produced flash fiction with 100 and 200 words.
Reading and writing are my hobbies. I have other outlets for my work, the latest is  called Poetry24,co.uk where occasionally I post poems based on news headlines. Have a look; it is quite an interesting website.
