Discussion thread -- 75 WORD WRITING CHALLENGE February 2013

[mosaix]

February challenge now up. Enjoy.

 

[Culhwch]

A wide open theme and genre for February - very nice. It'll be good to be able the story decide what it wants to be, for a change!

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Wow, wide open and nobody's posted a story in five hours? What's up with that?

 

[hopewrites]

After my firm commitment to be a fusser and a planer....

Thank you Mosaix, I've been missing poetry in my life, nice of you to bring it back for me.

 

[BigJ]

Making and reading stuff that rhymes is fun.

 

[Boneman]

Dammit - four challenges posted, and already I'm inhibited!!! They are soo good.

Thanks for the open theme!!!

 

[Bowler1]

I got hit with a lightening bolt of an idea, and posted within twenty minutes. Even for me that was fast - it's the 75 word fast draw.

Yet every month I say, I must wait, I must polish, I must stay calm...

I got hit with a lightening bolt of an idea, and posted within twenty minutes. Even for me that was fast - it's the 75 word fast draw.

Now there's an idea for a challenge...

 

[Bowler1]

Bowler struts, gleaming RAY GUNS slung low on his hip, trying hard to stare with menace.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

I'm in, and I think I rose to the challenge of complete incomprehensibleness very well. (See improving our 75 word challenges.)

 

[Bowler1]

Nice job, Springs.

Bowler quickly hides RAY GUNS, and walks innocently away...

 

[Boneman]

So, Yul Brynner goes.. I actually was thinking of a competition that gives you say, 20 mins to write a 75 worder... Maybe not.

 

[kromanjon]

I'd take your 20 minute challlenge. I wrote my 75 words (more like 60-something words) in a sleepdeprived daze before dashing of to school for a test. Sometimes you just have to write when inspiration strikes.

 

[Kylara]

argh! Well I can't do this one until I have finished a couple of pieces for an application...so annoying as I had a really good idea

 

[Perpetual Man]

Springs!!!!

I've just read yours and nearly wet myself! It'll take me a while to stop chuckling.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Springs!!!!

I've just read yours and nearly wet myself! It'll take me a while to stop chuckling.

Oh, good, i hoped it wouldn't offend. (I didn't think it would). At one point you had a speaking line, but the word count did for it.

 

[Perpetual Man]

Damn and blast it. I could have been up for an Oscar.

 

[Parson]

Hope... That was one fine poem. You've been a good girl. Relax, smile, enjoy ... its all life.

 

[Abernovo]

Okay, I'm aware there is the (small) potential for mine to offend. I hope it doesn't.

Right, I'm off to work on a longer short. The subject gave me a couple of ideas. The first one, there was no way it was going to work in only 75 words!
Great theme, mosaix. Good entries up already.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Aber, you left out the "Get it out, now! Or else." Line.
