Many moons ago I discovered this site and was captivated by the idea of it. I don't participate in the site directly at all any longer, but I do still use this constraint to write my own personal posts here from time to time.
The idea is to write something that is exactly 100 words - no more, and no less. Be consistent with how you do the counting though - either by your own math or using the word count function in any text editor you're using. Though some editors count things like isolated hyphens as words, so be mindful.
It's interesting the impact constraint can have on how you express yourself. It makes you much more mindful of your word choice and structure.
