Congrats! I love seeing contest runners showing up in other contests. I must admit, being one place higher than you 'almost' makes up for not making the longlist. 😀

The a-hole that wrote "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" never experienced the deep-freeze of a Central Wisconsin winter. Note: Irving Berlin is not an a-hole. That was hyperbole.

Day 42 #43daysofwritinginsanity is coming to a close. In the midst of the #twistedtournament. Completed my 500 & 250 word stories. And have a good jump start on my 100. No #500WordChallenge2025 Finals for me this time around, but I did earn an HM. I'll take it. Competition is fierce. #contestgoblin

Day 30-something #43daysofwritinginsanity is wrapping up this week. Submitted to #FuriousFiction and #RhymingStoryChallenge today. The Rhyming was particularly challenging for me and I was waaaaay out of my comfort zone. Happy to get something in though. On to #twistedtournament #contestgoblin
