    My computer's not reading the notice to me. Is there a way to find out what it says? Sorry about that.

    Hard to believe that the deadline for stories is coming so quickly! Best wishes to all the writers.

    Thanks for letting us know!
    I should probably get that submission form in now, come to think of it . . . I doubt I'll have my story ready to send in before the 20th, but better to get it done.

    Thank you, Mrs. Anne Elisabeth. Think it's nothing on your end. Just silly technology eccentricities! LOL! Anyhow, have a wonderful trip!

    Thanks for the update, Anne Elisabeth!

    I'm working on my story. Slowly. No idea if it will get done in time, but I'm trying my best. I'm a little worried I either committed to this too late in the game, or my idea is going to end up being way too long for the contest. But then again, I'm a terrible at estimating word count, so I'm just focusing on getting the words on the page instead of overthinking things.

    Why else does a moth fly FROM the night
    than to a bold, attractive candle Light??
    Don’t let His extravagant Brilliance be extinguished.
    You’re creative, yes?
    Then, fly-away with U.S. to the antidote…

    Whether you obtain moralityB4mortality to wiseabove
    or just glean tantalizing specimens for thy next best seller,
    you shall find in our blogs a lotta (subliminal) moxie
    which has taken this sinfull mortal yeeeeers to compile!
    I lay it ALL out for you, dear, with All-Star-Oxygems:

    Wouldn’t ya love an endless eternity
    of aplomBombs falling on thy indelible cranium?
    An XtraXcitinXpose with no zooillogical-expiration-date?
    An IQ much higher than K2?
    An anti-establishment, savvy victory +
    avant-guarde-humility =
    withe extraordinarily explosion of maelstrom mellowdramatic??
    Here’s what the exquisite, prolific GODy sed
    (with a most-excellent-detector of bull§ht):

    “Faith, hope, and love,
    the greatest of these is love –
    jump into faith…
    and you’ll VitSee with love”
    Doesn’t matter if you don’t believe (what I write);
    God believes in you.

    Meet me Upstairs, girl, where the Son never goes down
    from a super-passionate, lucrative iconoclasm where you’ll find
    nonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsX…
    of deluxe-HTTP [<- pi] opportunities for excitement BTW.
    Do it. Do the deed, dude. Sign into the Big-Zaftig-House.

    PS “It is impossible that anyone should NOT receive all that they have believed and hoped to obtain; it gives Me great pleasure when they hope great things from Me and I will always give them more than they expect”
    -our Lord Jesus to Saint Gertrude

    …think about it, girl…
    1-outta-1 perishes in 88ish years;
    1-outta-1 shall be Divinely Judged;
    1-outta-1 goes in either direction then,
    depending how WE sinfull mortals
    have lived, is where WE go for eternity:
    Seventh-Heaven -or- the Abyss o'Misery.
    Yes, dear, life’s extremely tough now;
    yet, life’s extremely short now:
    then, WE have the length and breadth of eternity
    to consider where our decisions have placed U.S.
    And Satan’s working overtime to steal your indestructible soul.
    Don’t let that sly, smooth, sinfull Liar.
    I choose Seventh-Heaven.
    Choose.

    I've finally worked out a daily schedule of working on my story. Here's to hoping I'll manage to finish it in time for submission! I'm relieved to see that other commenters above me are kind of in the same boat. c:

    I'm so sad! I wish I knew of this sooner! It sounds like such fun. I might write one just to enjoy writing it, its far too late to enter the contest now.
