Congrats on getting it done! I breathed a sigh of relief when I hit send about an hour ago. It's always fun, but it feels good to get it out the door. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/2erb98d2" rel="nofollow - SSCR1 https://tinyurl.com/rwh3cvck" rel="nofollow - 250R2 https://tinyurl.com/2veu6fkt" rel="nofollow - MyNYCM |

You, too, Quinnie. “On the fence” was by far my most frustrating and challenging prompt ever — final round pressure, 48-hour time frame and 400 word limit aside LOL. Curious how some prompts coalesce agreeably while others are more painful and stubborn to build out.

I didn't love the theme for this one - it took over my story which I'm not even sure ended up being a story, yeesh. But it's in and that was the goal. Good luck everyone! Looking forward to reading any that get shared. ------------- https://forums.nycmidnight.com/r1-g41-a-kingsized-choice-comedy_topic68010.html" rel="nofollow - MF100 R1 |

I find that when the prompts are phrases, it's a little harder for me. It can tend to box me in. I like that sweet spot of a little word to spark imagination while giving me space to roam around. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/2erb98d2" rel="nofollow - SSCR1 https://tinyurl.com/rwh3cvck" rel="nofollow - 250R2 https://tinyurl.com/2veu6fkt" rel="nofollow - MyNYCM |
