Method for writing a 1000 word story.
Step 1: write a 2,500 word story
Step 2: cut out all the bits that don't really need to be there.
Step 3: repeat step 2 as required until your story is under 1,000 words (or 1,100 words, really, because there's 10% leeway.)
I reckon you'd get a better, tighter story this way then if you set out to write a 1000 word story.
Remember, you can always send it to me and I'll look over it.
