DISCUSSION THREAD -- September 2020 75-Word Writing Challenge

[Wayne Mack]

Congratulations @Moonbat!

I also would like to thank all who took time to put pen to paper and create an entry. I found it enjoyable to read the wide variety of concepts arising from a simple, one word premise.

 

[Joshua Jones]

PS
Thank you to all who voted for me in the tie. Too many to name (*cough* though not enough to win *cough*.). But a named thank you who originally voted for my story: @Hugh , @Peter V , @Daysman and @Ambrose. And for the mentions @johnnyjet , @chrispenycate , @Starbeast , @Victoria Silverwolf and @Cat's Cradle.

Congratulations @Moonbat !

And thanks @Justin Swanton for the vote and to @M. Robert Gibson , @Hugh , @Parson and @Victoria Silverwolf for the mentions, but it was great reading eveyones entries; it helps get me out of my rut of familiar ideas - looking forward to the next one!

 

[Parson]

@Hopcyn Miller .... I love your avatar!

 

[Hopcyn Miller]

Thank you! - I have to admit though, my daughter takes the creative credit for the artwork - its actually the lead character of my novel and possibly my alter-ego...I'm not quite sure yet

 

[Parson]

Alter-ego? That sounds like a story that needs pursuing.

 

[Starbeast]

Congratulations @Moonbat

Commiserations @Elckerlyc

 

[Ashleyne]

Help is available. The site has qualified proffesionals to assist members that have issues such as yours.

Have you tried dice. These are well known to have a quantum connection to the larger problems of the universe and in some small measure, to those of an individual.

Most people go for a fifty fifty position.

In your case you could try :-

An even number throw: It isn't your alter ego.

Odd : Yes, you guessed it...

 

[Hopcyn Miller]

- interesting, and rapidly moves into deep philosophy i.e. "are we what we write?"

I'm sure time will tell - these dice just set up a Schrödinger's cat type experiment and it all implodes in a puff logic, @TheEndIsNigh ?

 

[Ursa major]

are we what we write

With more available ways to pay for things these days, it sounds as if I ought to be less Czech than I used to be....
