Discussion - 300 Word Challenge #11

Thanks, Victoria, for the great review. Your reviews always make my efforts seem much greater than the sum of their parts.
 
I'm battering mine around the head with a large rolling pin, and don't seem to be able to bring myself to post it. I'm pretty happy with it, but there is something that just doesn't sit right, more an instinctual feeling, and I just can't get the feeling to go away!

I might just have to force myself to post and be damned.
 
I can't think of a thing so far. Most people seem to have focused on the "new and/or unpopulated world" aspect of the picture. It's kind of a blank slate, which is what I have at the moment.

Why? Trust your writing instinct, or do so until the last day and if your still stuck post and be dammed.

I've never used a rolling pin, a bit low tech for me. May I recommend RAY GUNS, even if they don't work you get to blow things up and stuff, that always works for me. ;)

I agree. I am usually so quick to come up with something but not this time. I have wanted to sit and write one out but I have for the first time, really gotten nothing from it.
 
ratsy -- The reader can easily imagine the sardonic, cynical narrator of this laconic account of conflict and turmoil. Swept along by events beyond our control, fortune seems to smile and frown at the same time.
 
To post or not to post. I finished it an hour after the chrons went down. I fretted the entire time because I only have until tomorrow night, after which I'm gone for a week with possibly no internet.

Now the chrons is back I hate it and don't want to post it!
 
When are you back, AMB? The Challenge is open until the 31st anyway, and there's a real possibility (which we'll know for sure tomorrow) that the limit might be extended in view of Chrons being down so long. Might you be able to write another piece, or improve this one to your liking, while you're away?
 
I'm back on the 2nd Nov, and I'll be fairly busy whilst gone (and in singing mode, not writing mode).

Probably best if I sleep on it. Might just be anxiety because of the unexpected wait.
 
David Evil Overlord -- The author uses carefully chosen language to create a new folktale from a time which seems to be both past and present.

Glen -- This introspective tale of memory and loss creates an eerie mood through the use of vivid images.
 
Ah, we're back. I was worried that I had loaded a story so heinously awful that it triggered the site's self-destruct mechanism.
 
Well fiddling with mine has driven me somewhat crazy, so I've just put it up.

Very different for me, at least I think so.
 
Perp, that was great. A lyrical wonderment that kept pace and interest. You could see the transformation, sped up, before your eyes. Well done.
