Thanks! Hopefully I'll be okay, then. I wouldn't really call my story "playful," but I suppose it could fall under adventurous? And there's nothing violent or really dark in it.

I thought I would love my genre, but after staying up way too late to finish a story I felt meh about and struggled to make action/adventure as opposed to thriller (it solidifies what I have always suspected, that I like to write dark) I went to bed stewing about it. Then a dream set on a river (must have been thinking about my frozen river location too much) and now have just finished submitting a story I feel loads better about! I hope my gut doesn't steer me wrong. This one is much more adventurous and less hero in distress as my original. The ease I got it down has me feeling what I am sure is a false sense of security. Good luck to everyone else as we countdown the final hours.

Yes as long as they observe something that takes place. IMO

It's 5:00 pm, and I just deleted everything I had as a first draft and started a completely new story.
Thankfully, I've got nothing planned for the evening, but this is still much closer than I've cut it in any previous competition. Eek.

Your first piece was great. You clearly have ability. Maybe it's time to shut your brain off and just go with your gut. Sometimes the best stories aren't the best planned, the most cerebral, or the most polished. Every now and then it's stories just told by feel that really pack the most punch. Two hours is plenty of time to get down another 500 to 700 words and at least cross the finish line. At least, that's what I'd say if I weren't competing directly against you. But I am, so I'll just keep all that to myself.

SAAMMMME! I started as soon as I got an idea but only had like 200-300 words at like 3 AM yesterday and then decided to avoid everything and procrastinate till Sunday (so par for the course!) Not excited about my prompts or the genre (drama. ugh). So makes it hard to want to finish early enough to use beta readers (love having the time during the SSC for betas, but I find it so hard for the FFs to squeeze that time in there) Didn't start writing again like after 9:30pm today. Finished with like 15 mins to spare! (which is a first for me!) Probably helped that for once ever, I already had both the title & the synopsis done at the beginning instead of a panicked last second scramble to come up with something as I'm uploading.. So that was nice. Meh, we'll see how it goes. Good luck to everyone!!

Thank you so much for the kind words you kept to yourself ;) It was the little shake I needed to stop panicking and just write, and I managed to get something in with 1 min to spare. I'm grumpy about it because it's definitely not as polished as I'd like, but hey, it's better than nothing.
