I'd say its more that I am afraid of getting bored with ordinary drabbles! While I force myself to write 100 words on some days (because one of the points of drabbling is to master minimalism), I can't help but to be intrigued by the thought of longer works with the same strict structure expected of drabbling!
Drabbles are actually quite difficult for me, as I tend to be a bit...erm...long-winded? As I'm sure you've noticed! :D This piece was really hard to do and left me feeling all head-spinny. But I need a little discipline every now and then!
I'm glad that the structure works for you, as I was not quite sure of it myself (given the head-spinniness, I suppose). Plus, I had the text in different formats to distinguish in my original in Word, so it all looked a little plain when I pasted it into LJ. I even thought about having different fonts for the past and the present...and then decided that was cheating ;)
