    @familysims once you download the banner, it should be in your downloads folder (or wherever your downloads normally go) and from there you'd add it to your post like you would a screenshot.

    I can’t do that now, but I’ll try it as soon as I can.

    Didn't think I would make the deadline. this one was so difficult for me with the 500 wordcount. Had to cut 188 words and try to make sure the story still made sense.

    Here it is 'Lindsey's Rant'

    @Skeilah Not sure why I can’t comment on your story but I really enjoyed reading about Leonard and his little Olivia. So sweet.

    I’m all caught up on this month’s entries and they are so good! It was a tough assignment to use Whinge in the story ....
    Sorry, just had to have a little whinge about it, @lisabee2 😂 😉

    LOL @MenaBuchner .. whinge away .. it is allowed ... but I will say challenges help us grow <3 Getting outside the comfort zone is a god thing <3 OF COURSE you being new do not have a stronghold CZ but many of us old-timers do .. we do not like get outside of our regular storyline or pattern. Makes us itchy LOL

    Yeah, I know, sorry bout that! I was stupid to add a normal page for this and not a page where I can add comments. Now I can’t change that anymore for this month unless I delete the whole page and make it all again. And I’m not up for that now :p but thank you very much! I’ll fix this problem for the next entry for sure.

    I also really enjoyed your story. It’s a daily struggle for parents. I’m not allowed to use my phone at the table.

    EDIT: Forget what I said. I just remade my story page so now you can actually leave a comment behind!

    Lol, that's true I guess. I'm still trying to find my writing style and voice. :)

    Did we all cut it this close this time?! I feel a bit better now just closing up this month’s entry and coming in hot, looking forward to reading all the entries. Life’s been busy this month but it’s still a win knowing I made this on time, thanks for keeping it short this month, its been a fun literary exercise! -J2J

    Hi @lisabee2 . Thanks so much for organizing this. It’s such a cool idea. Just a quick request - can you please correct my story name in the post? It should be “Amersham” and “excerpt.” (It currently says “Amsterdam” and “escerpt.”)

    I think maybe autocorrect kicked in when you were typing and changed it. Thanks. :)

    The blog is up .. Monthly Simlit Short Story Challenge: September 2019 Theme & August 2019 Submissions w/ Vote

    You might note I did something different .. I combined the two end of month blogs. I think that there was a problem with two back to back blogs from the same challenge ..it is easy to overlook a second one ... I will try this for a month or two and see if it helps

    Well, I have voted, and as always, it was so hard! I found myself waffling a lot because it took me quite a while to actually make up my mind. LOL! All the stories were wonderful, and the talent here always amazes me. Everyone did such a fabulous job!
