My partner is a writer—non-fiction, mostly science/medicine and travel writing. His work is immeasurably harder than mine. He recently had a bunch of tiny pieces to write. When I heard he needed to to the Pacific Ocean in 250 words, I wrote this...
Assignment: Pacific Ocean
Assignment: Pacific Ocean
250 words or less
Make it snappy and full of high surf. Remember that it is
essentially life on earth and extends from one pole to another, from cold to
hot to cold again. Simply don’t compare. The Atlantic and the Continents Drifting belong elsewhere. Stick
to the plastic ducks along the current.
His work is harder than mine. This is the truth.
