DISCUSSION THREAD, May 2019 75-Word Writing Challenge

[Luiglin]

Fake news. Not enough exclamation marks to be genuine.

That was the only real quote out of them

 

[Alex The G and T]

Har! That Harebrained story sounds like Aesop had a nightmare about Yertle the Turtle.

Reminds me of the time, when I was but a toddler: Dad called me to come see the amazing draft coming up the basement stairs.

I didn't see any giraffe.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Well, another fun one from me. Exploring my darker muse these days...

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Ashleyne: The bigger they are, the harder they hit.

Cathbad: Every dog has its story.

Pedro Del Mar: When it rains, it floods.

HareBrain: It's an ill wind that blows somebody good.

dannymcg: Virtue is its own punishment.

Cat's Cradle: A new broom sweeps dirty.

 

[Hummus]

Gotta say I love the theme for this one!
Might try to jog something down for it, but have zero clues yet. Will regardless have a blast just reading the other entries

 

[Peter V]

Going on hols in as week, so need to get on this if I can. Unfortunately not got a scooby at the moment, so will probably just do my usual of staring at a blank screen until a few random words surface and the process of accretion starts.

 

[Peter V]

I just took a peek at the entries. Some good stuff already and one outstanding entry which I love... quite honestly has me feeling quite unworthy.

I so wanted to click that like button!

 

[Cathbad]

It has been VERY difficult not to hit the like button this month!

 

[Luiglin]

All these positive strokes isn't helping us mere mortals.

 

[L.L.Lotte]

This looks like fun.

Have to say though, the bar has already been set very high. Will have to go away and ponder this one.

When I saw the theme, my mind went blank. When an idea came to me, I went with it, fearing I'd not get another one! Hope it pleases someone... my cat sure ain't happy about it!

I feel a cat's revenge story coming on...

 

[Parson]

Parson mutters to himself ..... Who let the muse out anyway? Ten plus stories and I haven't the time to review them today. Have to go over my Spanish lesson. grumble, grumble.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Calliopenjo: When the mouse is away, the cat will still prey.

Daysman: There's something new under the sun.

elvet: There, but for the face of dog, go I.

 

[L.L.Lotte]

And my submission is up! It just came to me in a moment of inspiration.

This was fun!

*fingers crossed*

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

L.L.Lotte: Dishonesty is the best policy.

 

[elvet]

@Victoria Silverwolf thank you for the review and the smile this morning.

 

[elvet]

I am enjoying all the Tall Tails (ok, spiders don’t have tails...). Lots lightheartedness this month so far, even the reviews are punny. Great efforts from everyone.

 

[nixie]

Think we can have 10 votes this month? Mind you I'd still struggle to choose, some really good entries and we are only three days in.

 

[Parson]
