I felt pressure from so many sides, so many sides. It took me three or four tries to get FanManFan. So congrats to you and to Kat for coming out of the woodwork and posting that jewel.<br /><br />I would also like to apologize for trashing a most excellent song with such a clunky piece of writing. The song came to me about five minutes after the box contest and would not leave me alone. Maybe we'll see another box contest someday and I'll use it.Craig Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157301156577795781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-50282618494110542932017-08-14T13:35:12.655-04:002017-08-14T13:35:12.655-04:00Thanks, Claire.

I thought long and hard--at least for five minutes--over whether to include this one on the spreadsheet. The fact that I was a finalist almost swayed me, but in the end I decided that since it was impromptu, with only one rule, not really requiring the pieces be stories, and would potentially exclude talented writers in other time zones, I wouldn't count it.<br /><br />So no, it doesn't count. ;)Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-11011724368296491622017-08-14T09:01:09.601-04:002017-08-14T09:01:09.601-04:00Wahoo!!!

Thank you for the finalist nod!<br /><br />Congratulations, FanManFan!<br /><br />A while back, I charted out how little free time I have and decided I needed to cut out comments and contests (and myriad other distractions) to ensure the WIPs actually stayed IP. Took a break yesterday because it was only a flash flash contest. (That barely counts, right?)<br /><br />Anyway, I'd forgotten how lovely and warm the reef waters are.

I was in a very creepy mood yesterday - editing a bit of my WIP that makes my stomach curl. So it spilled over into the unexpected contest.
