My form in writing competitions remains consistent
part 2 of Challenge 1 in this year’s NYC Midnight scored one more point for me than did part 1 (which scored zero) giving me a total of 1 point out of a possible total of 30 (which one cad did score. I despise him).
the challenge (1000 words) required a drama set in a hotel bar featuring a toy gun
so …. for anyone who is really bored (really, really bored)
thanks for the reminder to email you about our mind …

My kind of humour – tragic yet farcical. I love how laconic the narrator is about the whole thing, and how awkward at doling out sympathy (though nice that he tries, at least making him a well-meaning sociopath).

Except for an excess of short sentences (semi colons, think semi colons and commas) this is way beyond boring. It’s visual, graphic, slice-of-life, good twist at the end. What the hell are you fussing about?
Reminds me a bit of Mickey Spillane…

You may have a point there but I despise semi colons. The feedback came from the judges this morning and they are in your camp with that I think, though. My previous efforts have been showered, to some degree, with praise ( but still scoring few points) and in this case the judges have been universally damning. Perhaps I should start taking notice.

I liked it too. Don’t misunderstand me, the frustrated English teacher in my head just needs to get out more.
