Can we split yours and make two to make 33?drksideofthemoon said:That will make 33 when you get your gem written...![]()

Varian P said:That's admirable. I envy those writers/storytellers who have a flair for concision.
I fear I could shave 60% off most of my stories without nicking the core. I have a bad habit of getting wrapped up in the minutiae of characters' interactions (not to be confused with the minutiae of the interactions of the characters' naughty bits, though I've definitely been guilty of waxing prolix in that arena, as well).

Seriously, if you've read one of my pieces, you can pick them out of the crowd- I have some... really fucked up habits. Bottom line.Really?FallingToFly said:What's worse is that anyone who doesn't guess which one is mine gets a beating with licorice whips and tied up with my tongue....

It's not as easy to guess as you think it is. There've been times in the past where I was dead certain I knew an author's work because I read everything they wrote and edited a lot of their stories and STILL I guessed wrong.FallingToFly said:What's worse is that anyone who doesn't guess which one is mine gets a beating with licorice whips and tied up with my tongue....

Indeed.TE999 said:Thirty-two submittals and counting, crimenalities!
Let's see 500 words X 32 = 16,000 words (assuming all submittals are all +/- 500). It isn't 'Gone With the Wind', but that's a lotta words.
And only 24 hours to guess. Teacher, I need more time.
minsue said:Indeed.
We definitely need more than 24 hours. No worries.
I'm trying to decide whether to split them into two groups. Any thoughts, guys?
