One I started writing 2 yrs ago and abandoned. I will have to revive it for this challenge.<br /><br />Have a great week, y'all!Kiru Tayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285263322486836620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115435078783773981.post-7978846638322933662012-07-07T07:18:00.034+10:002012-07-07T07:18:00.034+10:00And also its Romanticfridaywriters not RomanceFrid...And also its Romanticfridaywriters not RomanceFridayWriters. We always look for an element of romance not a full-blown Mills&Boon HEA. This last prompt's guidelines meant it was a challenge to insert a romantic element in so few words. Not to worry. Examine Greener Pastures for that romantic element which should always be there in our RFW submissions no matter how much drama is called for.<br />Denise<br />And as Donna said, we welcome your feedback. From some comments and emails I get the message you want to be able to write romantically, so do that. I see romantic possibilities aplenty in GP.Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115435078783773981.post-73745861670698593442012-07-07T07:09:52.069+10:002012-07-07T07:09:52.069+10:00Ah Francine, take your point.

Hopefully will be back on board soon. Meanwhile it means more writing done!<br />Loved all the entries. Writing is about imagination and we all have that in spades. <br />I take the criticism re lack of outright romance but we need to see the possibilities and insert it into our stories and poems. Maybe the prompts are leaning more to drama ATM but that can lead to a romantic element.<br />I'm working on my Greener Pastures and there'll be romance I promise!<br /><br />Thank you wonderful contributors! I look forward to the next round and the judging for FW. Just hope the net is sorted by then.<br /><br />DeniseDenise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115435078783773981.post-54551945976695597852012-07-07T02:17:17.674+10:002012-07-07T02:17:17.674+10:00Oh wow, that's loads of entries.

Some of our prompts lately have been experimental in writing outide the strict confines of the genre. The hosts try to cater to a wide variety of writing tastes and styles, and encourage our members and contributors to offer feedback and suggestions for prompts, general postings, and overall effectiveness of the site.<br /><br />Thank you RFWers, for your continued participation.<br /><br />.......dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115435078783773981.post-70712115661392777092012-07-07T01:09:24.987+10:002012-07-07T01:09:24.987+10:00Glad you enjoyed reading everyone's submission...Glad you enjoyed reading everyone's submissions F.

The romantic essence of "Romantic Friday Writers" seems a little lost to the more general aspects of writing. On that basis I'm dropping out until a romantic prompt inspires a return.
