Congrats to everyone.
Oddly difficult one for me to write for – too many ideas and not enough development – given that I came up with the prompt.
Everyone did the theme proud, and it was great reading all […]

Sorry yes, there have to be 10 syllables in a line, and you have 5.
Useful tool if you are focusing on form:

It was horrific. I’ve toned it down, reading the actual account is too awful.

comedy is tough, but I find that if I’m laughing while writing, someone else will laugh too when reading. And timing is everything. If you watch any live comedy you will see the comedian put in pauses and wait for […]

I like the sci-fi twist you brought to what starts off in tone like a noir gumshoe detective story. Excellent blending of genres. Under-appreciated piece by your fellow contestants! Where are the votes?

This is certainly written poignantly, sufficiently so that I thought you must be referring to a specific incident that I didn’t understand because of my ignorance of the details. However when I looked up 24th […]

Rhyming couplets was the perfect form for this! It evokes images of music hall routines – over the top, exaggerated, dramatic and murderous, if not in actuality, certainly in back-stage jealousies. My only […]
