" a daily challenge for us all to send private notes to every person who does not meet the word limit" After just sharing a story on "private notes", I wish I mentioned how it's a great editor's tool, but I have no doubt that constantly reminding folks about the rules makes you want to pull your own teeth. I think it's great that Short Form exists, even though long-winded writers like me probably need to shy away. But when I submit, I'll remember the rules :-)
