Great job using the prompt. The story was an entertaining and fun read. I was a redhead growing up with a splatter of a few light freckles on both cheeks and over my nose. As I got older the freckles faded and my hair darkened.
Your main character must have wanted to be a redhead pretty badly. But she didn't know exactly what she had signed up for!
Your characters' dialogue was comfortable natural, and true to life. The two women seem to have a natural connection and hit it off right off the bat.
You did a pretty good job with the setting. I wouldn't have minded a few more details but you did a good job with the word and time limit.
The plot moved along at a nice pace and kept me interested. I was eager to see if she was going to be found out, and if so, what was going to happen to her.
You have a good title for the story that drew in my attention. I think you could expand the description just a tad. Give a little more hint of what the story is about. It may help draw in more readers.
Thanks so much for sharing your writing with us. I enjoyed it.
I'm glad I saw this posted, as I read your first entry and was looking forward to seeing the direction you would take it in. I look forward to reading your future entries as well.
This is a great story. It was a smooth transition from Entry One. Your characters are coming along nicely. The dialogue is believable, it glides in the areas it should and is a bit tense in the areas where newly forming relationships seem a bit awkward. Nicely done.
The story grabbed my attention from the beginning, was able to hold my attention, and keep it through to the end. The plot moved at a nice, steady pace.
You did a fabulous job with the setting throughout the story. It was nice to have a full understanding of not only all of the characters involved but also everything that was happening around them.
I think you keep just enough tension between the two main characters without rushing it or dragging it out too much.
This is a cute story. It made me chuckle. I could just see boys coming up with a scheme like this! And let's face it, how many of us wanted to invent our own indoor swimming pool when we were young?
Your title caught my attention and your description urged me to read on.
Your descriptions and setting throughout the story were well done. You keep the reader engaged with everything going on with the characters and around the characters. Excellent job!
I love that they ran away to keep from getting into trouble. lol. Like the act of running away wouldn't get them into even worse trouble. Then with all that planning, they ran back after only a few hours because they didn't want to get into the same state that got them into this mess to begin with! Sounds just like the way kids think and behave.
Good job with the prompt. Thanks so much for sharing your story with us. It brought me a chuckle and I enjoyed it.
From the Part One comment at the top, I assume this is for a workshop.
You did a good job on the brief background of both of your characters. I think it's a great idea to use two secondary characters from your novel to see if they can make it as the lead characters. It also gives you the advantage of knowing them a bit.
Good title for your writing assignment. Your description lets us know it's for a Romance workshop. I think you should follow that up with a brief sentence about your story. It may help draw more in to read your story.
You did a good job with your story. You let us get to know your characters enough to already form a bit of an attachment to them and want them to hook up. The story was humorous and made it easy to follow each scene as I read.
The spilling of coffee in front of someone who's the last person one would want to do that kind of thing, made it easy to put myself in her shoes, forming that bond between reader and character. Nice job.
I enjoyed reading your first assignment and look forward to reading more.
LOL - She's got it bad. I've known coffee addicts before—I used to be one myself but this takes it to a whole new level. When you have to launder pennies for your fix, that's a whole other story.
You have a good title that fits the story well and your description is a good teaser.
Your character comes through as a serious addict in need of her fix. With just one look, her husband knows all of the signs. Nice job.
The cops were a nice fit to your story. The only thing that may have made it a bit more comedic, is if you would have had doughnuts to go with the cop's coffee - to hint at their fix for their cliche addiction.
You did a good job with the prompt. Not an easy prompt to write for but a cute one that produced a story that made me chuckle.
I didn't notice any glaring grammatical errors.
Thanks so much for sharing your story with us. I enjoyed it.
You did a good job using the song as a prompt. I like that you took the song's main message and based the story on it. I also like the inspiration you got from the line "You said life is a painting." It worked really well for the creativity of the story.
Title and Description - Perfect title for the story. The description grabbed my attention and urged me to read on.
Storyline/Plot - A father doesn't support his son in his dream of becoming a painter. He thinks his son is wasting his life. And after a contest leaves the son with no wins under his belt, the son begins to think his father may be right.
The Characters - You did an excellent job with all of your characters. The reader is able to get to know them all through your words easily. The dialogue you used is 'true to life' and brings the reader into the character's world. Nicely done.
The Setting - The setting could have been a bit more developed but for the story, what you wrote did a good job of enabling me to envision each scene as I read.
What I Liked Best - I liked that the one he thought would dislike his painting the most, turned out to be his saving grace. It also shows you beauty and art is in the eye of the beholder.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I enjoyed it.
Good, sad story. Poor old man. I wanted to scream, someone step in and take care of him! But how many old men and women are out there facing the same kind of loneliness and self-dependence every day? It's a sad story, indeed.
The Title and Description - A good title that grabbed my attention and the story piqued my curiosity to urge me to read on.
The Storyline/Plot - A little old, blind man goes to sit on the park bench every day. He clinches an old photograph that he can not see and a necklace, both belonging once to an old friend of his. Though he could no longer see, a smile still shone on his face and behind his blind eyes. He was new in town, and remained an enigma. Both at the end of his life and in death.
The Characters - The main character puts off an energy of peace and acceptance. Of a life once lived of happiness, caring, and love.
The Setting - You did a nice job with the descriptions and details that helped me envision each scene as I read. Well done!
Suggestions - I didn't find any typos or mistakes. Your writing is good as is.
What I Liked Best - The overall feel and message of the story.
Thank you so much for sharing your writing with us. I enjoyed it.

This is a good story that touches the heart in more ways than one. It's a creative and imaginative story with a chilling plot.
The Title and Description - Perfect title for this story. It fits the plot in multiple ways. The description caught my attention and urged me to read on!
The Storyline/Plot - A woman gets out of jail and gets on a bus heading for her destination. The bus stops at a restaurant. She goes in for a hot bowl of soup, on a cold, snowy day when she meets someone that will touch her heart and rattle her at the same time. Will she believe the truth?
The Characters - Your writing allows the parolee's personality to shine through. Though she's quiet and reserved, she also has a very kind heart and is not afraid of helping others. We can feel the little boy's sadness and loneliness through your words.
The Setting - You do a good job with the descriptions and details, so the reader can easily envision each scene as we read.

Oh, that was such a good story. You did a wonderful job with the prompt. The prompt reminded me of Ebenezer Scrooge. It's nice that you took the story on a totally different path. Congratulations on your win. Your story deserved it!
The Title and Description - Good title that fits the story nicely. The description says all it needs to say. It was enough to urge me to read on.
The Characters - You did a wonderful job showing the love the father and son shared. The father's loneliness and desperation to see his son also shine through your words. The son's love for the father comes through his actions and words. The kindness of both is seen by allowing the orphan, Ralph, to become a part of the family.
The Setting - Nice job on writing the descriptions and details enough so that the reader can easily envision each scene as they read.
What I Liked The Best - I liked the whole story. I also liked the strong bond of love shown between the father and the son, so much so that nothing could stop them from being together. I also liked the kindness shown in allowing the orphan, Ralph, to move in. That also meant the father wouldn't be alone.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is a cute children's story. Short enough to keep a child's attention but long enough to entertain, thrill, and make the child eager to find out what will happen next. It's creative and imaginative. Nice job!
The Title and Description - Great title that drew my attention to the story. The description sums up the story nicely and urges me to read on.
The Storyline/Plot - A little girl must find the magical crystal to save the magic of the forest, which is quickly fading.
The Characters - We are able to learn the little girl's personality pretty well. I would have liked at least a paragraph to talk about the friends she had with her. We get to see them in action in the end, but it would have been nice to know them a little before the showdown.
The Setting - I would have liked to read about the magic fading and how it was affecting the woods a little. But I was able to envision each scene as I read. Good job!
What I Liked Best - I liked it when it got to the showdown, and her friends helped her save the magic crystal. And I liked the ending. Nicely done.
I'll have to read this to my little granddaughter. Thank you so much for sharing your writing with us.

Oh, no! This was a good story, with a surprise ending I didn't see coming. Poor guy. I can see your wry humor coming through this story.
The Title and Description - Great title that goes perfectly with the story. Good description that urged me to read on. Congratulations on winning third in the Senior Center Forum. You deserved it!
The Storyline/Plot - A guy who just inherited some money from his aunt, stops in a pug to have a few drinks with his buds. A very creative and imaginative tale.
The Characters - You do such a wonderful job with the characters. Their personalities come out strongly through your words. I love the easy-going, jovial, and giving personality of the main character. Excellent job!
The Setting - Beautiful job on giving enough descriptions and details so that the reader can envision each scene as they read. Well done!
What I Liked Best - The camaraderie between all of the friends drinking at the bar. You did an amazing job making that scene so life-like. And of course, the marvelous, surprising ending. I love twist endings, and this one certainly does not disappoint!

This is a cute story. The little lemonade girls are starting young in solving their community's mysteries. A couple of little Nancy Drews. A creative little tale. Nice job!
The Title and Description - Great title that fits the story perfectly. The definition piqued my curiosity and urged me to read on!
The Storyline/Plot - Two little girls use their lemonade stand as a front to their Detective agency. There they solve crimes like what happened to their teacher's apple, to where their friend's teddy bear disappeared to.

This was a good story. You did an excellent job using the prompt. I found it inspiring and true to life.
You may want to put a third genre. Maybe Suspense. Many people look up items to read just by using the genres search bar. This may help more people find your piece. It's also good to have all three genres if your item gets chosen for a Quill.
The Title and Description - Perfect title. It goes great with your story. The description caught my attention and urged me to read on. Well done!
The Storyline/Plot - A woman who lives by herself falls into a deep hole while hiking. She's not expecting anyone to come looking for her, and she doesn't see a way out. She's about sixty feet from the top.
The Characters - You do a good job in such a short story by letting us get to know your character.
The Setting - It would be nice to have a little more of the setting of where she's hiking. It would give the readers a bit more of her harrowing situation.

This is a cute story. I was afraid the boy was a trap. I'm glad it wasn't. I didn't want to see what happened to the woman happen to the dragon. I thought it was creative how he decorated his cave.
The Title and Description - The name is unique and drew me to your piece. I would write a little bit about what your story is about under the description. Although, to be honest, what you have there did urge me to read on.
The Characters - Your characters are entertaining, and the writing did make me care about them.

And a child shall lead them... Great story with a well-written, complex main character.
The Title and Description - Fabulous title that drew me to your writing. The description is vivid and evokes visions of a bit of what the story may be about, urging me to read on!
The Storyline/Plot - The Shadow Weaver, an evil being, the making of everyone's nightmares, the harbinger of doom, the spawn from which rumors are bred. All starts to unfurl by the innocent, yet truthful words of a little girl.
The Characters - The Shadow Weaver, An Innocent Little Girl, and An Old Oak, with a magical energy. All are well-written and each one adds a creative, imaginative, and deeper meaning to your story.
The Setting - Your setting is filled with vivid descriptions and details that allow the reader to envision each scene as we read. Well done!
What I Liked Best - The complexity of your main character. The storyline and of course, the ending. I love that you used an ancient oak with magical properties and energy for the wisdom needed to change.
Thank you for sharing this fantastic story with us. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Oh no! This is a good, funny, and creative story. It's definitely reminiscent of the The Emperor's New Clothes. Great job!
Title and Description - Fabulous title and a good description that urged me to read on. I was surprised though that you had "Contest entry" and "Other" listed in your genres. You who always remind others not to do so. Oh, for shame, Jody! I'd change one to Drama and one to another genre that fits. (I can't remember them all right now.) Maybe Fantasy. You'll find one.
The Storyline/Plot - A Duke who is not the best good-looking Duke, wants to fool his hoped-to-be bride, by getting a painting commissioned of a better-looking him, to send to her. Two scammers talk him into hiring someone who only those who are pure of heart will be able to see the true beauty of the painting. The rest will see only a mess. He goes along with this thinking that he'll own all the hopeful bride-to-be's land. You must read on to find out what happens.
The Characters - Great set of characters. We get to know the Duke's greed, and conniving self, as he meets up with two characters who are just as greedy and conniving as he.
The Setting - You do a good job at setting. The reader is easily able to envision each scene as we read.
What I Liked Best - The comedic quality of the story while teaching a good, moral lesson. Greed and dishonesty will get you nowhere good. It only opens you up to the same type of people.

Cute tale of a talking cat. Good job with the prompt from Game of Thrones. I only saw three items in your Game of Thrones Folder. Are you still participating? I hope so. I know it's a handful but it's a lot of fun, also!
The Title and Description - The title and description are to your Game of Thrones Folder. The title and description say everything it needs to.
The Storyline/Plot - Cute storyline of a cat that one morning very casually just starts talking to his mom, like she's always done so. The woman thinking it must be a dream just goes along with it. When bedtime comes, she hopes she wakes up to her cat still talking to her in the morning.
The Characters - We get to know the woman and the cat fairly well with the small amount that they talk. Both seem pretty easygoing and kind.
The Setting - Good job on the descriptions and details. You enabled me to envision easily each scene as I read.
What I Liked Best - The easygoing conversation between the two as if it were something that has always occurred.
Thank you so much for sharing this cute tale with us, I enjoyed it. Have a great day!!

A good story. But one that is a bit sad also. Two lovers who just can't let each other go.
The Title and Description - A good title that works well with the story. The description confused me a bit, as I was expecting to read about a woman who was a ghost, and finally finds a way to accept it. I guess it's all how you read into it.
The Storyline/Plot - A tale of two lovers. One has died, but they still can't find it in their hearts to let go of each other. The one who dies, won't stay away from the one who is still living and he visits her dreams all of the time. The one living, won't let the one who died go and keeps calling him to her, begging him not to ever leave her. It's a tale of deep love, but also a sad one of not being able to let each other go, and move on.
The Characters - They're well-written and the reader is easily able to get to know both of their personalities.
The Setting - Excellent job writing the descriptions and details of the setting. It easily allows us to envision each scene as we read.
What I Liked Best - The true love that they both feel, and her being able to feel his energy in the end.

This writing touched my heart. How do you not give a writing like this Five Stars? It is full of love, admiration, teachings, and many things in life we learn to treasure when we have them, though we may not realize to what extent until it is too late, and they leave us.
Your time at the racetrack together sounds like a magical time for a little boy and his grandfather. Pretty smart of your grandpa to go get the horse picks from the janitor. He's there to hear many of the races for which horses come in as top winners!
The railroad setup sounds amazing! I've always liked miniature landscapes. I bet it was a sight to behold!
Congratulations on your grandfather quitting smoking. I smoked Kools also for forty years. I started when I was fourteen smoking a pack a day. I smoked a pack a day until I recently quit. It was hard. I took it five minutes (literally) at a time. I know he knew you were proud of him.
You are a very lucky man to have had your grandfather as long as you did. It seems he taught you many things, among those good values and morals. It's amazing to read when someone is beyond their time like he was with computers. I always wished I got into it on the ground floor.
My grandfather died when I was very young, but I still have a few memories I'll forever carry with me. I know your grandfather left you with many memories you will share with your family for the rest of your life. You're blessed.
Thank you for sharing such a personal experience with us. I enjoyed it.

Good story. I see you only have one entry for the Game of Thrones in your folder, but your handle still reads Mormont. Are you still competing? I hope so. You did a really good job on the story with the prompt. I know Game of Thrones can be a little intimidating at first, but it gets easier -- though, you do remain busy, busy, busy! (Which I kind of enjoy)
The Title and Description - I'm reviewing "The Road Less Traveled" in your Game of Thrones 2024L House Mormont Folder. "The Road Less Traveled" is the name of the prompt, so it fits the story nicely.
The Storyline/Plot - Two women go on a mission. They must be careful of the blood-lust monsters out in the world now. They seem to be a bit uncomfortable about their mission, and they hope it will be worth leaving the comfort they had with their friends, while they stay safe enough to make it back home.
The Characters - The two women are the main characters. We get to know them a bit through the story. I would have liked them to face a situation where we could have seen how they would have reacted to it. I think that way we could have gotten to know them a bit better.
The Setting - You did have some good details in your story. With just a few more vivid descriptions of their surroundings, it would have helped us envision each scene better as we read.
What I Liked Best - The writing that showed the women's uneasiness. It came through strongly, giving us a sense of the fear they felt of what was hiding in the shadows.

Hey Ashok Banerjee, Sorry I didn't get around to your piece yesterday. This is a powerful writing. Freestyle works well for this writing.
Dying for your country is a noble thing. But I prefer you fight and live! My grandson graduated from Army BootCamp and was home for two weeks before he went to Washington. He was in a car wreck on Christmas Morning 2022, he was thrown from the car. He died a week later, never coming out of his coma. He was wrapped in the American Flag. He also got a donor flag. He would have been proud. He always wanted to join the Army since he was very young.
Your poem is emotional and it comes through your words strongly. I can tell how much you enjoyed being in the service and how proud you are. As you should be.
In the last stanza, you have:
A fortune person
It should be:
A fortunate person
Thank you so much for sharing your writing with us. And above all, thank you so much for your service! Our country should value all of our service men and women. For it is you who keep us safe from the enemy, where we can go about our everyday lives.
Well no one truly wins, do they? So much for fatherly love. Great story that's well-written, creative, and imaginative. Nice job.
The Title and Description - Great title. It's a perfect fit for the story. A good description that urged me to read on!
The Storyline/Plot - Brothers are challenged against each other by their father all throughout their lives. Why did they expect that to change just because he died? The last challenge he left for them, is the cruelest of them all,
The Characters - The brothers, the deceased father, who is still very much present, and the lawyer. One brother was always better at the challenges than the other. Though, he would say it's not that he's better, just that he learned to strategize. Will they go through with their father's last challenge, or will they put it behind them, and let the challenges die with their father?
The Setting - You did a wonderful job with the descriptions and details. The reader is easily able to envision each scene as we read. Well done.
What I Liked Best - Finding out the father's last challenge and the ending.
Thank you so much for sharing your writing with us. I enjoyed it.

The Characters - We're able to get to know the little girl's heart and personality through your words. Well done.
The Setting - Excellent job with the setting. We're able to envision each scene as we read.
Whar I Liked Best - I love the little girl's thoughts when deciding whether to let them out of the jar or not. It's a legitimate concern. I also liked the visual of using the fireflies for the light in the dark tent.
Thank you for sharing your writing with us. It's a cute story and would make a wonderful children's book!

Hey Norb! I remember this contest fondly. This is definitely a challenging Blog Challenge. I've been trying to psych myself up to getting involved in blogging regularly again. It truly is rewarding to belong to a blogging community and I do recommend it to anyone who wants to start blogging on a regular basis. A community will inspire you when you don't feel like writing and mostly give inspiration for subjects to write about.
This thirty-day challenge is not for the blogger weak-at-heart. So get your blood pumping, check the ink in your pen, or the muscles in your fingers, and get ready to blog - every day for thirty days. The prompts will be provided and they are sure to make you think! If you feel you're ready for the task at hand; the official month (every other month) will surely entice you with wonderful prizes - but if you're like me, and would rather jump in on an unofficial month (not as much pressure, see how things work, meet a new community of blogging friends) than an unofficial month might be for you as well.
Now, we just have to hope Norb does the right thing and opens this wonderful activity back up. We used to have such a strong blogging community on writing.com. I'd like to get that back!
The forum is well laid out and lets the bloggers know what is expected of them if they join.
Thank you so much for sharing this excellent blogging activity with us. I truly do hope you open it back up, soon!

Great job using the prompt. The story was an entertaining and fun read. I was a redhead growing up with a splatter of a few light freckles on both cheeks and over my nose. As I got older the freckles faded and my hair darkened.

You did a good job with your story. You let us get to know your characters enough to already form a bit of an attachment to them and want them to hook up. The story was humorous and made it easy to follow each scene as I read.
You have a good title that fits the story well and your description is a good teaser.
