About My Blind Brother

I’m ready to write this, but I ran into a constraint with the word counts. Because the Plot paragraph must be 80-120 words and the other paragraphs have their own caps (roughly 20-50 words each), the total achievable length under the given structure tops out at about 260 words. That falls short of the requested 300-350 words.

Here are two practical options to hit the target while keeping the structure intact:

Option 1 — Extend the Plot section: Keep four sections, but allow the Plot paragraph to be longer so the total lands between 300-350 words. For example
- Plot: 150-180 words
- Production & Release: 20-40 words
- Reception & Themes: 40-60 words
- Cultural Impact: 40-60 words
This would bring the total into the desired range and still preserve the four-section format.

Option 2 — Add a fifth paragraph or adjust caps: Keep four sections but increase the word caps for some sections (or add a fifth section such as Cast & Crew or Themes in Depth). That would require adjusting the instruction to allow more sections or more generous word limits.

If you pick Option 1, I’ll deliver a 300-350 word description with:
- Plot 150-180 words reworded synopsis without spoilers
- Production & Release 20-40 words
- Reception & Themes 40-60 words
- Cultural Impact 40-60 words

Tell me which option you prefer, and I’ll write it right away.
