OMG Stephen, you just gave me a heart attack! I was scratching my head as soon as the prompts dropped as to how a pug was an object! I did think about a nodding dog, but ended up writing the silliest, tropiest (that's not a word!) thing ever! ------------- https://tinyurl.com/kv767e2a" rel="nofollow - 250 Final https://shorturl.at/pJiq6" rel="nofollow - 100 MF R1 https://shorturl.at/UyVAA" rel="nofollow - SCW R1 |

Group 38: drama / obedience school / cotton candy I just could not get my plot to come together and I really struggled with how much "drama" needed to be added. Oh well. Time will tell! I wrote in a different style than I normally do AND a different tense AND I took the location in a different way than I hoped other people would (fingers crossed!). Hoping to get some great feedback from the forum later this week. The Price of Dedication
Sometimes, dreams can cloud reality.
