Discussion -- 300 Word Challenge #5

If I put a ghost in it does that count as speculative fiction ?

Only if it walks through walls and tries to possess some one.

I think it does. Paranormal fiction is a sub-genre of Speculative Fiction.

I've just finished a first draft, and pretty surprised to find it comes in at under 300 words. It does need a bit of work but I'm quite happy with it. I've got to try and get it finished just so I don't get... uh distracted later.

If I'm very lucky I might manage to keep both writing challenges just under the word count this month.

well it is trying to possess him but not in that way I've written something but right now it isn't in the right genre. However if ghosts are allowed one word could change that.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

Ghosts are allowed.

 

[AnyaKimlin]

Great thanks.

Should you have 74 in the bank?

Sorry, I was trying to make a joke. Guess everyone knows why I shy away from humor now.

LOL I thought it was funny.

LOL I thought it was funny.

So, I guess it came out right? Thank ya kindly Anya.

I wrote three rough drafts on the buss, each one tighter than the one before. So I'm happy with my progress, but I'd like to get one worthy of pulling out of rough draft form. *excitedly disappointed face*

I wonder why there isn't an emoticon for *excitedly disappointed face*?

I really love the picture this month, but I haven't had time to think about it in a writing sort of way. It strikes me as very Simak.

{:[ or ',:/ or *n* if we can go vertical rather than horizontal on the faces... I'm actually kind of frightened by those faces, they look nothing like mine.

 

[Aaron Stone]

300 on the dot. Really loved the picture, great inspiration. Not sure my story will live up to it, but I tried.

 

[The Judge]

It's the 10th -- so the Challenge is now open for business!

Good luck, everyone.

Posted ... hopefully more serious and more understandable than my 75 effort

 

[crystal haven]

I've posted too. I thought if I left it any longer I'd lose my nerve.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

I've still got to write something. I have a title, and a basic idea, and that's it.

Muse, don't fail me now.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Luiglin, CH, shivers down my spine, already. An excellent image.

 

[Warren_Paul]

Well this was scary. Posted. Hopefully its all good.

This is my first attempt at poetry, ever, btw.
