I'm thankful for....the November challenge :o)
« on: November 01, 2011, 03:31:39 PM »
Happy November!!

We are taking a nice drastic turn from our October challenge and having a nice, warm, fuzzy one.

Write a short story about one of the guys or a character from one of your stories and what they are most thankful for. The story should be written as a reflective one. It can be a journal entry, an interview or just some inner thoughts on what it is that the person you are writing about is most thankful for and why. Try to add a nice creative twist so it's not completely a snooze fest though lol You know what I mean.  

~ No banners
~ Try to keep it under 3,000 words. You can be longer if you want but I can tell you my attention span for short stories is about 3,000 or less. lol (just being honest. I probably will not read something over that word amount unless it really keeps my attention)


That's about it!

Happy writing! :)

I'll post the finished entries in this post as we get them!

It can be a character from any of our stories that we have written or does it have to be about one of the boys? I may have an idea for this story.

Well, you know me Mare... I like to have them in bus crashes, or some dude trying to rob them of something, their lives being endangered or whatever... but to write a reflective piece of being thankful?!? Lol. I do like the fact that you mentioned doing a creative twist... hmm...

short stories in general are hard for me, let alone reflective.  I did write one for a Christmas challenge one year, let's see if I can think of anything for this challenge. I tried for Oct. but nothing came from it.

I'm hoping that I can get back on track with mine after all the crap that's gone on this week.

Lore, my October one was abandoned at about 400 words!

Looking forward to reading everyone's stories :)

It's probably a little cheesy, but I felt fluffy. So here's my submission :).

Alright... I finally kicked my ass into coming up with a response. It was truly a challenge! >__< Lol. I unfortunately went over the 3,000 word limit, and believe me I tried HARD to stay under it, but failed. :( Lol. I can only hope that the story will your hold your interest well enough, lol.
