Word limit

After ages I have been called upon to write something for the paper that employs me. I would let management know that writing is my forte, but then, they would expect me to write often. And writing for a newspaper involves legwork.
I’m done with legwork. At least when it involves my own. However, when I have the opportunity to be nasty in print, I write.
The problem with this latest piece is, I have to write 2,000 words. And I’m struggling. Not because I don’t have enough to say. But, because I can say it in 99 words.
