Short workshop - Halloween 2016

I just submitted my entry, 'Costume Drama.'

Let me know if there are any issues with the text or the image.

Got 75% done with my entry. Just need to set aside some more time to wrap up the ending.

Finished! Hope you folks like it! Had to rush the ending a bit, but I'm heading out of town for the Halloween weekend, so it was this or nuthin'.

I just finished a short story. Not sure what I think about it, but it's a story. First one in awhile.

Anyone want to give it look over before I submit it? It could probably use someone to knock some of the edges off it. It's about 3300 words.

I'll plan to do another edit pass on it tomorrow and submit it tomorrow night.

Hm. Is it due at the start of the 30th or the end? i.e. is it due Saturday night, right as it turns the 30th, or is it due Sunday night? (Just in case I find someone to edit it and I need Sunday to give it another pass.)

I'd prefer to get someone to make some suggestions on it, but I did write it quickly like I wrote Fog of War -- the point was to WRITE, not get hung up on things, so doesn't matter. I'd probably submit it as is if I needed to.

I can take a quick look. I'm going to be in critique/feedback mode this afternoon anyway. Email or share with geekseven99 at gmail.com.

To GeekSeven: Just mailed it off. Appreciate any comments!

Just responded. Hope it's helpful.

I just submitted my story. Hope I did it right.

Thanks to Geekseven for the edits and suggestions, they were very helpful. I'm much happier with the story now. I'm even happier that I actually got off my ass and WROTE something.

I'm curious to read what everyone else has written.

I can try, but that's a very tight window.

Thanks for the offer. Means a lot! I had geekseven give it a look over, I made some needed changes and then submitted it.

The Monster of Lust zooms by on his unmuffled hawg...

In passing, he hurls a crumpled ball of writing paper over the fence with just a few hours to spare...

He races away, cackling madly.

I made some more edits to my story. I posted the changes into the story editor ... but noticed that from when I posted the first time and now, some formatting had been applied to it. Mostly indenting paragraphs. I don't seem to know how to do that and that formatting has been wiped out. I hope I didn't mess something up!

Anyway, hopefully that was ok, it should be before the deadline. It wasn't much, but it made the story flow smoother, fixed a few typos that when I saw them bothered me... (etc).
