Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- July

[RcGrant]

I'm loving this month's theme and genre! Great entries so far.

 

[stevietee]

Mine's up. I suspect this is going to be another month of strong contenders. Love the entries so far.

There are some very good entries. I love yours Stevietee - good twist at the end.

 

[James Coote]

To put it another way, if darkness is merely the absence of light, then justice is merely the absence of injustice. Without injustice, there would be no concept of justice

That's kind of you Gary, but I think your twist has mine beat hands down. Who would have thought after reading your opening line, 75 words later we'd be beaming aboard the starship enterprise!

 

[Gary Compton]

Yes I know. I got my stories mixed up

 

[RcGrant]

I'm going to find it tough to vote this month. With each new story being posted I'm going 'Ooooh, now that's clever'. lol

I know the feeling. I can't even think of anything this month.

 

[RcGrant]

I know the feeling. I can't even think of anything this month.

Aw, I am sure something will come to you. I'm keeping an eye out.

 

[paranoid marvin]

I have the last line of a story. Now if I can only think of the rest!

Well , you've done the hardest bit!

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Well, I'm going internet free for the next week, so it's up. It seemed a good month to go with this one - I'm not sure how well it travels.

 

[Hex]

Nice one, springs. I really like stevietee's too. And RcGrant's. I'm going to have to look up the names in Grimbear's...

You know what? They're all really good.

 

[paranoid marvin]

Well, I'm posted. I wanted a middle stanza , but didn't have quite enough words available to squeeze it into 75.

Some great entries already.

 

[HareBrain]

I'm going to have to look up the names in Grimbear's...

Look them up by reading The Owl Service by Alan Garner (as everyone should, because it's brilliant). It draws on the same myth.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

It is an excellent book. More mature than some of his other books that receive far more attention.

 

[Hex]

Oh dear. I've read it.* But I just remember the plates (there were plates, right? I'm not mixing it up with something else?)


*Of course. But that doesn't mean I remember it.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

There were, indeed, plates.

 

[Hex]

Yey -- one for my memory. I've always wanted owl plates.

(now I'll go and read the book again)

 

[James Coote]

The last line is easy because it's always "badum tsh"

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

I've posted mine.

I wanted a middle stanza , but didn't have quite enough words available to squeeze it into 75.

You don't need a middle stanza. It's awesome the way it is.
