My idea is coming together nicely...except I realized its a picture heavy story. How will I pick only 12 shots!!!? And I still have to shoot them. The writing was easy, but the pictures are taking their sweet time.

I had a long heart to heart with my sis last night about my short story and what I wanted from it. I am now totally pumped about it. So I'm hoping to rewrite it on the plane today, screenshot tomorrow and post tonight or tomorrow!
Can't wait to read all your stories this month!

@Carewren123 I hope you're well!! I haven't seen you online for quite awhile. Hope you're just enjoying a nice break and a great holiday. Either way, I send out warm wishes to you!!!
Also, I actually finished my story on time this month! I wasn't sure if it needed a disclaimer or not, so I put a little bit of one in the beginning. If anyone reads it and thinks it needs more, or thinks it doesn't need one, let me know! I'd had some heavier language in it, but changed most of it. Since I usually use "plum" for most things, real curse words make me nervous for a challenge story!
Here's my entry for this month. Now I'm off to read all of ya'lls. This month was a bit of a challenge and I told the story in an odd way. Hope you enjoy it.
Thanks, Rae! @sabreene and I were just talking about doing this--so glad you did it! I'm looking forward to reading your story, too. And what do you think? Do we have enough for a vote this month?
Hard to know, I know @cully_c@Spottydog714 and @CitizenErased14 were all thinking of entering this month as well. If they all do That would 8. . . and that is me, urging everyone to write a submission. I don't think we ever set the minimum, just worried about it.
If not we could give ourselves a holiday break and lots of superlatives.

If we don't get any other submissions, perhaps we should vote just for first and second? Whatever gets decided, I'm good with. I know people have been so busy with the holiday season.
Oh - that's a great idea. If Carewren is still MIA (and hopefully safe and happy) it shouldn't be too hard for us to run the poll or if we want someone who didn't submit, find someone else to run the poll for us.

Hey, I still have... 2, 3 days to get mine screenshot and wrote? I uh... have the sims made and the lot placed now, at least! >_> *Someone always procrastinates until the last minute... *
My stories are always too long when I first write them, I have to edit them down each time! lol! But at least this time I was under 1600 words, so it wasn't *too* hard to edit it down to requirements. I came in right at the wire at 1499 words!
And yay, thank you to @ra3rei for putting everyone's in a list. I know what I'm reading today!!!

I'm entering. It's very short at the moment, as it's writer in the style of a legend, but my sister thinks I could expand it in a few places. I'm gonna be pushed right up until the deadline... But I'm definitely entering. Watch this space!
Edit #2: Don't worry too much... @ra3rei , seven is a good number. considering how busy we most of are at this time of year!
I think we should still vote. Although I don't mind if everyone else says they don't want to.

Hey you guys!!! Sorry I've been MIA. Super busy time of the year. Then we've had storms this past week and my internet was down for several days. Anyway I wanted to pot in to tell everyone that I haven't forgotten about you all. I'm about to update the front page. Thank you so much @ra3rei for making that list in my absence. Also a huge thank you to those of you who did the superlative things while I was away. You are all so awesome.
Didn't mean to be away for so long. The month just really got away from me. I've missed you all.
