Last year I edited out my word before subbing and only noticed right before deadline. The hastily revised story was not as good, but just barely squeaked by to move on. This year I highlighted both my word and action in my draft so I did not helpfully edit them out of the story. Sheesh.
I also rechecked my prompts about 8 billion times before submitting after my Flash fubar.... |

Last weekend for short screenplay I became so obsessed by the location that I forgot to add in the object, only realising after I'd sent it off to beta, and this weekend I did the same with the action and forgot to add in the word, only realising after my husband read it and was like "aren't you supposed to have 'hack' in here somewhere??" I'm sure the time will come when I don't catch it before submitting!

Last year I forgot it was only 24 hours but fortunately hopped on the forums at the 22 hour mark so I had two hours to write something. I realised as I was pasting it into Submittable with two minutes to go that I had forgotten the prompt word so there was a very quick and clumsy rewrite to include it.
This year was much more relaxed 😂

This is my first time participating and I think I totally misinterpreted my genre. The website lists romance as being about a new and developing relationship but my story celebrates a long established relationship.
