    Right away I'm feeling like....

    Mariel’s magic is going to be stronger than Earl's. I feel that Karma and the Tupilaq are going to open up a can of whup-ass on that boy. Maybe.

    Oh! I thought that was going to be longer.  That was great, nice job Bev. 

    Take that Earl, you dick. Just because someone breaks up with you doesn't mean they're nasty. Maybe you were the jerk. You should've looked in the mirror during that 6 months after receiving your letter,  hmm? 


    😳😁

    The word range was limited to 500-1500 and I came in at 1425. The original version of this story, which I wrote 8 years ago, was closer to 4000 words, so a lot of stuff got trimmed, including an opening scene in the desert.

    ....I wondered about that, because the flow was a bit choppy.....

    Those were pretty good stories.   

    I encourage any  of you who write to submit. They are looking for new voices and each month is a different topic.  

    How exciting!

    I'm not submitting this month -- I think they're hoping to have new winners each month.

    I can't wait to see your name in the winner's circle!  Maybe they will drape roses over your neck, wouldn't that be all sorts of awesome.

    I had a look at this yesterday, disappointed I missed the February one as that theme appealed more.
    Time is a bit of an issue, actually probably it's motivation. 🙄

    You would do a great job. You have the talent.  I personally know many of you are good writers, i know this for a fact. I believe in you— believe in yourself and give it a go. I would be tickled to see your name in that list of winners.

    I have faith in you. I am holding your hand, not the one that writes. In a non lebanese way, of course.

    I'm really looking forward to what the winners do with this theme. Haunted Church Confessional.

    I have an idea, but I'm not a writer. I don't know how to put all the pieces of my thoughts together to make it a story.  But it went with the theme and made me snicker.

    You can do this writers!  I believe in you.  Try.
