writer challenge

Playing in the Writer Challenge forum has gotten my creative juices flowing. I've taken the backbone of the current challenge and expanded it to approximately 6K words. I think it's pretty good and if some people would like to show me otherwise - I will gladly take their advice.

I placed second (tie) in the writer challenge for this time around. Not expecting that. The encouragement in the forum is great too. All the entries were so well done, I didn't think I would even be in the running.
