I'm sure this time the linky will be slow as it's such a difficult challenge. I know I had to fiddle with my concept a little to fit the guidelines, but I did it! Still polishing away! Hope you're all up for the challenge.
I'm just about to show my piece to my daughter before I post it but also I don't want to be the first one!! That could be one of the three things I could use in the next theme - could have more confidence in self!
LOL; yeah Sally, I have that problem too. I'm always worried my excerpt is not what others are looking for. I know you write mostly auto-biographical, and I'm always interested in how you will interpret the themes.
Good luck everyone. Featured Writer is a really great accolade.I shall not be posting myself this time, but I will try to check out as many of your entries as I can. I've got Dr's & dentists appointments, my book launch and a new job to prepare for starting in Sept, so I'm otherwise well and truly committed at the moment.
Well I'm outta bed. I didn't want to be first either Sally, but I s'pose I'll have to suck it up seeing I'm a host. Well my story wanted to be 1,000 words so seems a bit abrupt, but never mind. I managed to edit it to 600 words.
Thanks Andy , Denise , and Donna . I am so touched to see the heartfelt welcome I have got and the responses on my blog. Yes I got help from crystal on the linky thing and the best part is that I get to read such romantic write ups. Cheers !
All is well, Denise. Thanks. Sounds like you're having a fab time cruising the islands. Enjoy! Did some rounds yesterday and hope to read more entries today.
You're a trouper Andy, or should that be trooper? I'm so glad you dug deep in your pocket of tricks. Can't wait to read your entry, along with everyone's. Not tonight thought. I've been, ahem, cruising the islands and am tres weary. Do the rounds tomorrow. D.
I see that I have missed the close of the collection.
I am in the middle of packing and my moments at a computer have been scarce and short. For those who would still like to read the end of my story I will post it soon and leave a link in a comment here.
Hello sweet Anna. Sorry linky caught you out and I was sleeping! I posted your link as soon as I turned the internet on. Looking forward to reading your story. Hope the packing is done.
Hello Ladies. :)) I must've missed the boat. Yikes. I thought the link list was open until Sunday evening EST? I've attempted to add my link for the challenge, but not sure how it works...:(

Nah, it had a good flow to it Denise. Hard work and attention to details always shows in a writing, and you did well with the concept.
DeleteI'm kinda freakin out on this cuz I'm #2 on the linky; and I'm ALWAYS late. To everything. So, being this early is like, totally creepy.
And you forgot to remind me this is a Friday the 13th post. I didn't get that memo until I wrote the date on my submission post.
So I'm wondering how many of our RFW regulars/members will write a good superstition post to the Challenge?
......dhole
Hey! Take note! We've added a little Friday 13 to the challenge. Read above if the Instructions. D.
ReplyDeleteI've posted - I also waited and showed it to my mum!! Let's hope we get a few more entries. 13 is only a number Donna, lol.
ReplyDeleteThat's what they tell me Sally. But I was sick all day so . .
DeleteI read your post; nicely done. Thanks for participating.
