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

[Victoria Silverwolf]

M. Robert Gibson: A reminder of the importance of language.

 

[Parson]

@M. Robert Gibson .... A Salty Dog Story .... If a faulty warning is given, who will be ready for the battle?

 

[Parson]

@Laura R Hepworth .... Does No One Read Signs? .... There are two things necessary for a sign to be useful. All the words must be read, and then they need to be interpreted as to relevance. Any deviation from this is very possibly fatal.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Laura R Hepworth: A warning to be careful to pay attention to details.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Lawrence Twiddy: A reminder that the sound of words is important.

Daysman: An account of disturbing circumstances.

BigJ: A cautionary tale about accepting responsibility.

 

[Parson]

@Lawrence Twiddy .... Dragneer Honey .... There is some honey that it just might not be smart to gather.

@Daysman .... hic sunt dracones .... Dragons do not always have wings and breath fire.

@BigJ .... Sure it's cute now, but it gets bigger! .... Sometimes saying no is the greatest of kindness a parent does for their child.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Parson: A reminder that no one is beyond redemption.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

reiver33: A demonstration of the importance of patience.

Yes great to have you back Starbeast. I've missed enjoying your entries. Hope all is well.

 

[Parson]

@reiver33 .... Emergence .... Playing Rip Van Winkle does not mean you have to emerge out of date.

@Starbeast .... A Better Life .... The old saying proves true once again, "everything old is new again."

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

johnnyjet: An example of lack of concern for the balance of nature.

 

[Parson]

@johnnyjet .... A Long Day's Journey Into Night, With Dragon's Egg .... When you can't see the forest for the trees and the long view seems unimportant an interesting future is abandoned.

@Provincial .... Here Be Dragons .... When fancy takes flight, so do dragons.

 

[Starbeast]

Nice to see you back in the Challenges, Starbeast! I hope all is well.

Also - I like your story.

Thanks Cats. After thinking about dragons for days, the Muse creeped into my home and stayed overnight (pizza and a movie). All is well. Busy, but aren't we all.

Starbeast: An account of a very long search for peace.

Thank you for your review. It's nice to see you again. (tips hat)

Yes great to have you back Starbeast. I've missed enjoying your entries. Hope all is well.

All is well. I missed you and a multitude of members here as well. Thank you for the awesome comment. Once I get the internet up and running, I must check out Roland Rat. My curiosity is overwhelming.

@Starbeast .... A Better Life .... The old saying proves true once again, "everything old is new again."

Thank you for your review. It's nice to see you too, Brother Parson.





I read all of the stories that were submitted so far. See everyone back here when I cast my vote.

Like Pink Floyd said, "I like to be here, when I can."

 

[Mr Orange]

Morning all. In an attempt to get back on the literary horse, I'm in. Rusty as hell, but in.

Apologies if my story is similar to any others but at the 11th (or 10th I guess) hour I didn't have time to check.

Now to re-acquaint myself with the intellectual back and forth that is the discussion thread...
