    > Yes. That’s what a picture is worth, after all.

    Not to be pedantic but does this mean "1,000 words or fewer," "at least 1,000 words," or "exactly 1,000 words?"

    I'm asking because with school assignments the number is usually a lower bound, but with writing contests it's often an upper bound (sometimes even a fuzzy limit).

      if it's not exactly 1000 words, then no skill is involved and the writers may as well be published by Penguin or HarperColins or something.

    Looking forward to some writing assignments. Like in school. Sometimes I miss that in my day to day job. Using just human intelligence. Or maybe "dog intelligence" ;-)
