Verbose jaybee is verbose

So, I signed up for that cliché fic prompt fest over at cliche_bingo (and no, I haven't posted my card because I'm too disorganized). I like my prompts (ghosts! evil twins!), and I've now thought up enough story ideas to do at least the minimal "bingo" score. I've got until August 31 to finish, and the stories only need to be 500 words each, so...it should be no problem, right?

Except that I have concluded that I am incapable of coming up with story ideas that can be told in 500-ish words. I started writing the first one yesterday: I'd estimate it's about 25% done (at best), and it's already 700 words. And this is one of the simpler stories, plotwise! *Bangs head*

We'll see how well I manage with August 31 as the deadline. I have a horrible feeling I may be cutting it very close!
