Not bad!
I landed somewhere in the middle of the pack. An average score, if you will. But looks at those trophies!

Trying my hand for the first time at a ‘Dribble’. The ‘Drabble’ was fun but this is a challenge. #twistinthetale #sidequest

Also happily placed 2nd in this week’s #Twistinthetale side quest with an ad for a haunted jigsaw puzzle. 🎉
The inspiration remains unfinished in my spare room where it has been for the past 3 years. 😩

I love writing challenges like #30Words30Days, #9ForNavaratri, #FuriousFiction and #Ship30For30 because their prompts get my writing going. As do competitions like #NotQuiteWritePrize and #TwistInTheTale.
If you know of any other prompt-driven writing challenges, let me know!

My 3 #Twistedtournament stories shared on the story share forum at #Twistinthetale .
#Furiousfiction also completed and ready for submission.
I really need to get on to my #WAWA submission. The story has been bubbling for a while.
PLUS I need to get started on the #Globesoup module 1 reading.

I do like having guiding prompts to shape a story, but the flexibility available in round 2 is nice too. #Twistedtournament #twistinthetale 🧐🥳💻📖🖋️

To be fair, I'd submitted my story around 6 hours before deadline. I made very few tweaks. And, again, I'm rather pleased with the outcome.
