Flowery?</p></blockquote><p>Two answers:</p><ol><li>If I have a word limit, I make it terse. When I wrote <em>Mars Needed Women,</em> each chapter was limited to a maximum of 4,700ish characters (hashtags were necessary). That forces me to practice concision and ellipsis. By concision, I mean making each word necessary to carry an idea or an emotion, double-duty being better, or to complete a grammar construct. Sometimes I had to choose words by length, when I hit my toot-limit. By ellipsis, I mean grouping meaning such that it also implies what was necessarily left out. As an example of the latter, neither giving birth nor OB-GYN doctors are mentioned, not even midwives, but I'm sure the reader knows they exist, they have to. When I expand the story for publication, this topic might be a good target for an additional sentence, maybe even a chapter.</li><li>If I have a time limit, I work to compose sparser prose. To be clear, by this I mean both a deadline or "I can only write so much before I become exhausted." Charles Dickens and I could easily have a prose style in common, but I neither (re)read his works anymore (because I can't help emulating him) nor let myself get carried away (much) writing things that don't carry to story along (but are nonetheless glorious). I've come to learn that if I practice concision and ellipsis whilst composing, what I will have written is a fertile framework upon which I can plant flowers during revision.</li></ol><p>[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writers</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSdiscussion</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSMarsNeededWomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSMarsNeededWomen</span></a></p>

Show us what you're proud of. Let's boost away.</p></blockquote><p><em>Mars Need Women</em> is a hopeful yet deeply dystopian feminist SF web-novel that leans heavily into Women's right's issues thanks to a set of writing prompts on the subject. It is a woman-centric adventure story of overcoming adversity while being female, with all the warts and frustrations, not as a man in disguise. </p><p>Our wannabe engineer heroine May Ri escapes a disheartening life, faced with becoming little more than a housewife because she lacks "blessings," to help colonize Mars—if you can call being shanghaied <em>escaping</em> and being contracted to have children a <em>benefit.</em> (She does get to choose the gorgeous supportive guy, though, so that's a positive.) As she learns to make martian machines, she keeps putting herself at the center of a global martian dust storm with her children as power shifts from being male-dominated. As the daughters of the Martian immigrants increasingly control Mars' future (how is spoilers), May Ri together with her five daughters shape a world (Mars) the way unfettered women might imagine it. </p><p>When the men of Earth take affront—of course they do—they learn that women don't fight like men, especially when their children's lives are threatened, and their wellbeing is at stake. <strong><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSMarsNeededWomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSMarsNeededWomen</span></a></strong> </p><p>It remains free-to-read on Mastodon for a few more days:</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/114088945266387178" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/11408894</span><span class="invisible">5266387178</span></a>. </p><p>If you start reading it now, a comment or a private mention will tell me not to delete the posts until the end of next week. I consider it a beta read. I'm already revising an augmenting the original story, tying up loose ends, and might add more chapters along the path to publishing it as a book.
