I don't think I ever properly thanked you for your post. I had far too much fun with the second round of the short screenplay and while I won't advance, I can now say I crammed more references to chocolate in five pages than all of Willy Wonka

I'm sorry. I was dq'd because I used carried not "carry" and I have no clue how that happened. I even wrote it out properly and must've had a blonde moment and edited it as the clock was ticking towards midnight.

You CAN change yourself to Viewer via the little pencil icon upper right, but little fingers could still accidentally change it back, I suppose. I don't know how to make it permanent.

Folks, if you are linking to your Google Doc, please set it to view only and not to editing permission - my toddler just took off with my laptop and banged a bunch of nonsense onto the title page, I didn't even realize I was on as an editor.
If I discover I have editing permission on a Google Doc, is there a way to take myself to comment/view only?

Yeah! Thank goodness for this forum! I botched my time line. On the plus side, my beta reader didn't notice and in the long run, it's not going to take away from the story, but, jeez, maths!!

Edit: Nevermind, I had you backwards. That's a real pain, but it's easily done.

Well, I am the Queen of Botch. Someone in review pointed out that my prompt was a vacuum cleaner not a vacuum (which I used in the context of space.) I swear I read just vacuum when I checked the prompts.
Likely, in 35 stories I've written for NYCm, I am going to get my very first DQ. <kicks things and pouts>

Almost sure they wouldn't let you fix it...but why oh why do you see the flaws only seconds after midnight on Sunday--every time? Flaws that passed you by. Universal, right? Usually after I submit, I have a glass of wine and a little celebration with myself. Once a little relaxation sets in, it is amazing how much clearer the mind is. Maybe I should start drinking before I submit my story?

@kristina_f, @suave, @CreativeByNight
That's what I thought. Fingers crossed I'm just a twisted commoner...
