jelly

sometimes its hard to know what to write, or how to start, unless someone gives you some direction. i have been challenged to write three 100 character stories, each using a specific word - the first being "jelly"...the problem is that i am having trouble counting out the 100 characters (including spaces), so these will be rough approximations....

she ate crackers covered with chunks of butter. she reached for one more, but this time opted for the smooth, sweet strawberry jelly instead

just realized that the computer could count the characters for me....duh. below is the revised version (the one i just wrote is 40 characters too long). the cool thing is that i adjusted it once, checked how many characters i had, and found that was exactly 100...plus i like this shorter version better.
