Definite potential here! But I’m having trouble reining it in - not writing a novel, gotta simplify. 😬

My group too :-)

I had a really nice idea for mine but it was super hard writing it. All done and sumbitted now, but I have no idea what to expect when it comes to judging this one!

I'm in Group 1 too. This was a tough one. I still don't feel that what I wrote was suspenseful enough, but it's really too late to come up with something new. What a weird set of prompts!

Glad there's another group 6er on the forum! Solidarity, friend, lol. 

I think my idea was too complex for the word count, and I don't think I did it justice. Did not have the space for the slow build up it really needed, so this is going to be another story that I probably can't bear to reread until after the judging, but... I finished! Wasn't sure I was going to make it, so I'm going to call it a win, regardless of how judging turns out. I beat that challenge, at least, lol. LOL

Oh sweet! I’m excited to see your story, I loved yours last round.

I’m super dissatisfied with mine, lol. I’ve spent all day trying not to obsess over what I wish I’d done differently. Going to make a game of trying to predict what the judges are going to say LOL

MuchlyGen, I respect that you feel this way and I'm feeling pretty uncertain about mine too...BUT. I feel like you also felt unsure of your last story and it was great lmao. So I'm thinking you're a bit hard on yourself.

Shhhhh, no logic. LOL Thank you, duck. There are some definite holes that I can see, and honestly would not be surprised to not move to the next round, but you're right, I'm also my own harshest critic. Will try to lay off myself, lol.
