Well that was a surprise ... I wouldn't say it was my finest work & I pushed the prompt boundaries a tad, but I'm through to round 2 of the #NYCMidnight #MicrofictionChallenge250 #WritingCompetition πππ
Good luck everyone πβ€οΈπ

That was tricky but it's in. My 1st 500 words didn't cut it and neither did my 2nd idea. What's been submitted is a bit of a weird left field narrative. Here's hoping the judges like it π€ππβ€οΈπ
Good luck everyone else taking part ππ

I wasn't sure at 1st but ended up loving this 'gruesome alternative' of #AliceInWonderland ... Or should I say rather, that, Yes Christina Henry used some names which makes it feel familiar but OMG, she then took the known & expected tale down a dark alley leaving blood (& worse) in her wake ππ«£π±πβ€οΈ

As a writer & fan of Lee Child, this was a great Christmas gift π Although its primary content is the 'story behind the stories' (ideation) you also gain insight into his writing processes (it seems he's a pantser rather than plotter which surprised me) π€π±πβ€οΈπ

I love Animated Films/Series πβ€οΈπ€ .. I found this series while looking for something different to watch ... S1 only has 4 episodes & seems to be a spin-off from the 'Marvel What if' series Ep5 'What if ... Zombies' π€ I'm hoping S2 is created but that depends on how S1 viewing numbers look to Disney π€

House has been de-Christmasified π€π ... Mixed emotions as I love Christmas but also love the spacey feel of the house once the decorations are gone π€π ... Is Lola thinking the same? πΆπ (Need to get better at reading minds π€) ... For now, I guess, I really should get some writing done π€π±πβ€οΈ

There's not long to the deadline but this looks like a great opportunity πβ€οΈπ ... Unfortunately I don't think I qualify as they're looking for 'new writers from under-represented communities in UK' π€π§

Watched this yesterday π§ TBH I wasn't sure at 1st π€ It has a Marvel-esq quality & some interesting #ScriptWriting & #NarrativeTwists which haven't been seen before π€π²π§βπ It hasn't broken into my top 5 #ChristmasFilms but I'd watch it again ππβ€οΈπ

So, the results are out & the feedback released π€π± I had a feeling that my 'Ghost Story' wouldn't land right as I struggled with it (as I always do) π»π± feedback was good & I guess I'm getting better at this genre but just not quite good enough π€πβ€οΈ
Best of luck to anyone progressing to the round 3 π
