ReplyDeleteI commented on your entry, but I'll do it again here. Brava! You did a great job. Especially for a lady who said she had trouble coming up with something for the muse.
ReplyDeleteAwww well done Julie, you pipped us at the post but it's a deserving win. Cheers:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely surprise to come home to after three days in Melbourne. I appreciate the voting.
ReplyDeleteThank you to those who persevered with the length and with the vernacular. I will put some language notes as a Postscript should I need to write in Australian flavour again.
Helen, you can flesh your own story into something very exciting, indeed, whereas mine has nowhere to go.
And yes, as Patti, commented, I had a lot of strife coming up with a response to the muse. I felt a bit like Miles, wondering what the hell Jeff was asking of me. I started off with a poem about a fire, which was a load of crap, and then decided on a murder, never having written a murder before! I ended up with a bit over a day left, and just forced myself to sit down and type. And I honestly had no idea I was going to kill them all off. That wasn't what I had written down on the back on the envelope beside the keyboard.
Once again, I appreciate the award ...
both very deserving, the win and the place. Good show Julie, and the firework's ending was spectacular!
