HAVE I LEARNED NOTHING?

Sigh. This is fine.

You made it to the second round for a reason! You've got this!
Will do my best to return reads!

Drama is not my thing at all. And drama that rhymes? Pfff. Yeah... Pass. 

So, I have something which rhymes and the characters show growth. There's conflict. So hopefully it qualifies as drama. Wait... Prompts? Argh. LOL keep truckin' guys!

Well I managed to miss that this was this weekend and have only just looked at my assignment... Can I write this whole thing in 24 hours? We'll find out!

Romantic comedy. Not at all my bag. So I turned it into a lesbian period drama!

Story written, and letting it sit until tomorrow when I can edit with fresh eyes.

Way to pivot. On my must read list.

Having a "maybe I'll just not do it" kind of moment, which will surely be followed by a panic draft. It's a whole process.

Welp, I got a complete first draft, and submitted it to be on the safe side.  Also my phone screen decided to pack it in two hours ago, and playing with words on my laptop is much less compatible with watching kids tomorrow than picking my phone up for a minute here and there. So first draft might be final draft, though I'm going to try and be brave enough to request a few beta reads!

I struggled for an idea, this time limit is really stressing me. I have written my first draft - realised I messed up the stanza count and had 150 words too many and a whole part to cut :/ 
I’m at 500 now and not happy with my rhymes but about to send to betas. Just all round wahhh this time.

So I just saw several say they had submitted, and had my standard issue panic attack because I was planning to submit TOMORROW. I went and stared at the countdown clock  and then reread the rules and now I'm questioning the space/time continuum, so I need someone to assure me I can go to sleep tonight (Saturday) and submit my story tomorrow night (Sunday). 

Anybody...
