I'm getting sorted to submit before dinner - it'll get another reread before the submission deadline but I'm happy to have gotten it done Clap

Still, I wrote something.  Is it good?  *shrug*


Heh. Anyone out there get their prompts and think, "Yes! Brilliant! This story nearly writes itself!"

I had comedy, a newly constructed house, and a parking meter.

just got my final draft down to 997 words!  Hooray!  One final read and I’ll be submitting it. (Happy dance).

And I'm in... and surprisingly, I'm not reduced to a puddle of tears. Even more surprisingly my first draft only came it at 1,043 words. HUGE accomplishment for me as I never use one word when seven will do. Tinkered it down to 993. Not completely what I envisioned at the start, but I'm fairly pleased with it.

Submitted! 985 words. Am hoping to never get romance again. Ugh.

Looking forward to reading some stories! Congrats all, and if you're still writing, hang in there--you got this!

hi fellow group 52er! Congrats on finishing--looking forward to seeing what you came up with our slightly bizarre prompts!

Resubmitted after a quick edit after some advice from some amazing Beta readers. Got it down from 999 words to 984, and actually feel that I have included a lot more in it in regards to a narrative.

Submitted!  I don't remember there being a backup plan in the past.  Nice addition.  I'm resisting the urge to tweak further.... but I might.  Group 14.  Mystery/Greenhouse/shrimp cocktail.  It took three approaches before I got something together.

DONE! First time using beta readers and had a blast, it really helped and I'm happy how the story turned out after their suggestions. Loved reading others too - there's a lot of talent in this challenge!!

Best of luck everyone :D
