Foxxglove,
Your 1st drafts are generally as good as my final versions.

Lol. This is bad. I just did an outline for the story I've had in my head. The outline is 790 words. I only get 3,000 total for the story. I don't know what I'm going to do, lol.

Well, I didn't come up with a different idea, and I thought the best thing to do was to give the story a couple days' break and come back fresh. I'm gonna take another crack at it tonight and tomorrow and hope for the best!

Some motivation for those who need it. I’m still working on Hubbard’s.

“Creativity means believing you have greatness.” --Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
“Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.” —William Faulkner

Unfortunately, I'm not going to finish. But it's maybe a good thing  We've been out of town all week for soccer regions, and even though our girls lost, we had to go back last night so my husband could accept COACH OF THE YEAR!!! But it was 1 1/2 hours both ways all week long. Good luck to all the entrants. |

Then post yours in the fiction thread for all to read and make suggestions. Oh, congrats to the ladies for making it that far and to your hubby for such an outstanding achievement.

Okay....one final run through and then I think I'll be good to go. Hope I can remember how to code correctly. I really look forward to seeing what everyone created. Have a feeling the entries are going to be outstanding. |

The weekend has just started for me, and my story is shorter than Tglassy's outline. I really need to step this up.

I'm really more of a short and (hopefully) sweet contributor. I wouldn't worry about quantity since it's quality that counts and I'm sure you've got that well in hand. |
