Discussion thread -- SEVENTY-FIVE WORD WRITING CHALLENGE November 2013

[jastius]

but karn.. reviewing all the stories could kick start your muse..

(is he going for it? please please please!)
darn it karn are you actually going to leave ME to do reviews!? You've SEEN the way i write.. remember your last comment upon my writing?
you said it made your eyeballs blister worse then paint thinner and was the epitome of literary diarrhea...that you had to go and bleach your brain to get out the afterimage of that text...you said if i ever showed you anything like that again you were going to take a weedwacker to your brain and flush the remains because all hope would be lost.. (i have never laughed so hard in my life. i put it up on the fridge and giggled for weeks)
and you STILL think it a good idea if i review, karn?

 

[Ursa major]

What if we all pretend Karn is Philip Marlowe - and behave towards him as if he is the famous fictional detective - until he enters the Challenge?


Would that help?

 

[paranoid marvin]

If that worked, it would be sheer luck. Karn , have you looked what's on the thread already for some clues?

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

I'll look through, see how people did it.


But I'm not over my cold yet. I have a bit of a headache and can't really think. There's the possibility of my entering, but not until I get better.

 

[Ursa major]

That's the spirit.

Karn I know how you feel, I'm struggling a bit this month too. Have kind of got a story but it's gonna be a shoehorn to get it to work as a detective story....

Hey Dusty and Chris, sounds like you haven't forgotten Ol' Bob, or Paw and Boy. We bin kickin' around trying to mend up sumtimes fergittin about how much fun that thar readin' an writtin' stuff was. Gunna give it a nuther try---soon!
I was not trying to put any pressure on Perp Man, I know he couldn't keep it up forever, but thanks for all that he did to brighten our days. Perp Man, you da Man. (Perp, if you want to continue reviewing my work and no one else's, that would be just fine.
THANKS GUYS, I'll be back,
Bob

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Hehe. Bob's entry that month is one reason I don't want to do reviews again...I'm still ashamed and sheepish about that one.

 

[johnnyjet]

Thanks for the nice review, Victoria!

 

[Bob Senior]

Karn, don't let me stop you from doing reviews, you did cause me to cry my eyes out for weeks on end but I am over it now. I'm sure if you were on your good behavior you would do an excellent job, so go for it, all is forgiven.
Bob

PS (I know where you live)

 

[AnyaKimlin]

Thanks for the review, Victoria. I'd forgotten I'd entered lol

I must have missed a month somewhere -- which is odd, because I've never missed a month! When did all this take place?

 

[Bob Senior]

Chris, keep workin' on your voice, you are gettin' close. Dang ol doctors come pretty darn close ta killin' me but I tole em I had good in-sure-ins an they pulled me thru.
Dusty, let sleepin' dawgs lie.

I fear that, despite time passed in the States I never learnt to speak American (and one or two of those south of the Mason Dixon line experienced some mild difficulties when I addressed them in British English (Can't think why, but I actually do speak the way I write).

So I fear my previous post could be defined as obtaining a urine sample (though not from you - I imagine you've given enough bodily fluids to keep you happy recently, no?

karn beta'd for me a short story that karn said was dean koons meets helter skelter on draino. that if the wicked witch of the west was still around, she would be sky writing 'surrender the keyboard'..

considering the whole thing was a monologue about a room service order and nothing actually happens... i thought his comments were hysterical...


not sure about the other... karn won't talk about it except to say he was bad... which since it is a perennial condition of karness, is rather believable..

I remember it, and Bob's right, it was no biggy to be resurrected, more a misunderstanding. I did comments that month, too:it wasn't my forte, either!

Bob, I've been missin' Paw. Lots.
