Whenever I set out to write a drabble, I go over. Or most of the time, at least. Of course, you start by picking a theme or image to write around, and sticking to that helps to keep it short. But if you get on a roll, it's still difficult to stop. Like, I wrote "Fire" (see the sidebar on my lj) intending it to be a drabble, but it ended up with 1000+ words.
