This was more fun than I thought! Maybe rom-com is my new genre! Your Lane or Mine? Maude tossed back her perm and lifted her chin. Her horoscope advised to try something new today. She held the selfie stick at a forty-five degree angle. A selfie on the Olympic relay track? Why not? Art, a wisp of a man with bones like crackers jogged past. He had managed to read the same horoscope (obviously). The force of the collision with Maude’s tool of vanity knocked him backwards. “My hip,” he yelled. Maude bent over and spotted Art through hazy cataracts. Her knees turned to jelly. Art rolled onto his side and winked. “Your lane or mine?” |

The problem is all of these stories sound like what I would write if given a 100-word restriction. I mean, some of us just need to release our inner Bulwer Lytton.

Pithy sayings are for the apt. For a longer message, you need a condo.

haha, yep!
I keep seeing the words I overuse in the really bad ones. Have you seen the Bulwer Lytton 2020 awards? omg, the Children's Story Dishonorable Award! Ruined Charlotte's Web for life! Or maybe made it better.. |

I also laughed out loud at the wasted words and the overall wishy-washiness. I really appreciate your sense of humor. I'm a bit heartbroken at not making it to the next round, so I appreciate this levity!

Well, we were bummed at not making the next round and decided to provide moral support for the finalists by writing the worst 100 word stories alongside their competitive ones. We assigned each other the cringey genres we didn't want and had a huge laugh.
I was assigned Romance and Historical Fiction. |
