Alas I bomb out in WB once more but at least with an HM. Can't crack this nut. Congrats to all those going through! @writingbattle.bsky.social
How is everyone feeling after two rounds of @twistinthetale.bsky.social Twisted Tournament results? I’m holding steady on the board with 8.80 & 8.66 which I’m chuffed with and the lovely feedback.
#Furiousfiction submitted. A very busy week of writing but fun (and games) were had. See what I did there @whimsyfiction.bsky.social ? I enjoyed writing some very different pieces this week for the two above and #TheBoobyPrize.
@whimsyfiction.bsky.social and #Theboobyprize stories drafted. Now on to #Furiousfiction. Any ideas? Not so far…
@jerboalit.bsky.social 250 drafted. I like it so that’s the main thing. 😊
@twistinthetale.bsky.social Twisted Tournament rounds 1, 2 & 3 submitted. I’m happy with them all but think my 100 is the best of the bunch. How about everyone else, with just over an hour to go for round 3 to close. 🦄🤔😵💫🥳🍀
Well @twistinthetale.bsky.social Twisted Tournament round 1 offering was lacklustre by my own pitiful standards. Not sure round 2 will be any better. 💥🦄😬
This has been on my Netflix watch list for ages. I had no idea it was about the phenomenal Leonard Bernstein. 👏👏👏
