I haven't written a lot of drabble pieces either but I got into it a few months ago when I came across some writing prompt communities and decided to play around with them when the muse decided to go take a long vacation.
I feel the exact same way as you. I used to write a lot of flash fiction that I submitted to an e-zine which had a word limit of 500 words or less. That was a great experience and taught me a lot about starting and ending a story within a limited timeframe. It certainly helped me to downsize my cast and plot to a smaller scale.
Thank you. I loved your piece as I said on your post and will look forward to seeing what else you come up with.

Hope you don't mind I subscribed to your journal.
