Hey!  Same!  I feel like I want to sit here refreshing my mailbox so I can dig into other stories asap, but I also want to live my life.  Decisions, decisions!

Girl.  Rewrites or not, your work is always worth a read!  I'm looking forward to it!

Just for that I’m feeling exceptionally clever today.  Otherwise.... meh?! 

I, on the other hand, embraced the word ambulance early and aggressively... lol.  I mean, it's the most ambulanc-y story I have ever written.  Blatantly so.  Oh.  And there is a superhero.  Sort of.  LOL

You’re so badass. 
First you say, “it’s a trap!”
And then you proceed to put on a red and white tutu, stick your thumbs in your ears, waggle your fingers, and jump around ON THE ACTUAL TRAP screaming, “nee naw nee naw nee naw.... woop woop woop!”  

And I am totally here for it! Tongue

Titles are so hard (for me, at least)! Sorry you hate yours. But if it helps any, I think it tells a lot about your story in a nice, succinct way.

Sad so many great writers got cut in the first round but super excited to read more of the field this time!

These first three words and titles have been fantastic! I hope more folks post full stories to the forums, it was a blast reading them in round one.
