DISCUSSION THREAD -- March 2021 -- 75-Word Writing Challenge

[Victoria Silverwolf]

TheEndIsNigh: Like death and taxes, red tape is unavoidable.

 

[Parson]

@Guttersnipe .... Rescue Mission .... Good friends are hard to come by.

@TheEndIsNigh .... More Setbacks in the Fight Against Global Warming .... No job is done until the paperwork is consulted and completed.

 

[Wayne Mack]

The dragon theme came at a good time as I am world/race building around dragons -- still lacking a plot line though. I decided to experiment with something new for me.

Is it always more difficult to think up an entry when you are the one setting the Challenge? Seems so to me. I have an idea, but I'm struggling to get it into a poetical form, so I may need to try a different format.

 

[JS Wiig]

@paranoid marvin what would be the irony of everyone writing verse in you honor, while you wrote prose for your own challenge?

Yes I was thinking that myself! Checking back, 9 of my last 11 entries to the Challenge have been poems, so I do occasionally choose prose. I would like to try and come up with a poetical entry for my own Challenge; thankfully I've still got a couple more weeks to try and figure something out.

 

[chopper]

Well, I'm back! Good to see the quality is still top-drawer in these challenges!

 

[Parson]

@Astro Pen .... A Matter of Scale .... The source of Anne McCaffrey's inspiration has been located and it's a really good tale.

@Wayne Mack .... The Tale of Icarus .... Alternate history or fake news can really make a dragon story sing.

@chopper .... Rosalind Franklin's Fantastic Voyagers .... Dragon science can make the world a more interesting place.

I'm sure I did a couple after that, but not many. SoYo is sunny today, surprisingly. How are you, Chris? Remembering that you were at the first SFSF back in oooooooooh 2015?

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

[Parson]

@paranoid marvin .... George and Dragon .... Sometimes the best things come when truces and compromises are reached. --- But it might be a bit smelly.

 

[Parson]

@Peter V .... Nary an Iceberg in Sight... .... It's never to early to learn that boring can be good.

 

[Tywin]

I'm in. Apologies for being so hit and miss with the writing, and with the discussion threads after.

@Tywin .... Just Give me Three Steps... .... Sometimes what seems so right turns out so wrong.

@Artoriarius .... Here There Be Humans .... Being master of your own land, does not make you master of all lands.

@BT Jones .... Grace Under Fire .... The past is always beautiful in retrospect and the present looks crass, but is it?

 

[luriantimetraveler]

@Artoriarius Really enjoyed yours!!

 

[Parson]

@luriantimetraveler .... Untitled .... Choose your proverb: "Be sure your sin will find you out." or "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it." and know that you are grounded until you turn 48.

 

[Parson]

@Michael Bickford .... Here Be Dragons .... The dragons have been located they have been found alive and well with mind and pen.
