The suitcase overflows. 

With "Clenching and Wrong" I really wish you had RomCom

lol.  I just wanted to write about a raccoon clenching a bottle of schnapps on the bathroom floor of a Virginia liquor store, wondering where it all went wrong. But I’d have to wait 25 yrs for it to be HF. And I guess that’s more NF? 

You have to write the raccoon hitting rock bottom. Maybe tell the sad story of Davy Crocket's cap?

Sci-Fi

Three words from two sentences which sum up the story of:

Julia Version 2

optimise

everywhere

My first time attempting the 250!

Was placed in G61:

Historical Fiction
Clenching 
Wrong

My Submission was titled: Please Return To Sender

Here's an excerpt: 'she already knows'

Looking forward to reading everyone's entries!

Yay! A group 61 buddy. I hope you share your story, I’m so keen to see more ‘clenching’ 😀

I swear it makes sense in context...

And how quickly it becomes a horror story. Yikes!

I was just looking for your story so I could read and comment on it, only to just realize we ended up in the same group. I must admit I'm bummed we are in the same group (since I know what an amazing writer you are) but am going we can both make it through to round 2 together! 🤞Thanks for your kind comments on my story and I hope you end up sharing yours as well.
