I've had an entry for days now but can't think of a title.

I've had an entry for days now but can't think of a title.

So go untitled!

 

[Luiglin]

So go untitled!

That would be like going naked and I'm not that sort of writer

 

[Cathbad]

going naked can be fun!

 

[Luiglin]

going naked can be fun!

I'll take your word for it.

It's a pity that the entry is not humourous otherwise I could have gone with 'Title Not-Appearing-in-this-Tale'.

 

[Cathbad]

Harvest Time, @HoopyFrood - I sincerely don't want to know what hides in the deep wheat!

 

[HoopyFrood]

I planned out the entire story this morning as I was walking to work, having had the idea randomly pop in, and then realised I couldn't recall for certain if the plant photo won. Was very relieved to see it had!

 

[Luiglin]

Posted, crap title an all.

 

[Peter V]

Posted, crap title an all.

In the context of the story I think it works on two levels... the dance of the cotton bush to the tune of the wind and the bloody dance of death of the combatants.

 

[Peter V]

I have a 300 at last... going to forget about it now and see if I can come up with something less typical of me. Really struggling with the 75 still though

 

[The Judge]

Really struggling with the 75 still though

Blame the ^&%$£& who set the theme and genre.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

HoopyFrood -- In this mysterious and moody tale of survival against a barely seen foe, we see the power of courage and self-sacrifice. Balancing this, however, is the certain knowledge that one must know when to avoid unnecessary risks.

chrispenycate -- Plausible scientific and cultural speculation make this story of a subtle but important discovery seem very real. By concentrating on the thoughts of the discoverer, the author creates an intriguing character study.

Luiglin -- Sweeping the reader's vision from a vast landscape to a tiny detail within it, this poetically written but unsentimental war story stirs the emotions. By focusing the attention on a single individual, we learn the true cost of violence.

I am... next step is beating myself up about it. Literally!

I am worrying that I have peaked

 

[johnnyjet]

I am worrying that I have peaked

Nah, we all experience those hills and valleys. It's just temporary.

 

[Luiglin]

worrying that I have peaked

Don't worry I peaked with my first entry, posted just under 6 years ago.

 

[Cathbad]

Weed, @chrispenycate - A successful thesis, including a scientific discovery, doesn't exactly please this Doctorate candidate!

 

[Cathbad]

To Dance, @Luiglin - A poetic look at a ferocious battle. A soldier, finding a moment of beauty. The author's dance of words was, itself, beautifully done.

 

[Starbeast]

Two days ago, I came up with five ideas, and chose one. Then wrote it, this afternoon.

An interesting picture of a strange looking plant, seemingly in the middle of no where @TitaniumTi . It gave me five different stories.

Well done sir.

 

[Cathbad]

Brothers, @Starbeast - A tale of brothers, once separated by mistrust, now together via trial. Both proving worthy to the father. Love wins!

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Hey Starbeast. I hope you won't mind my saying that I like that you've gone outside of your comfort zone, mood-wise, with Brothers. I'll say 'Well done, sir!' to you.
