Fine deal
I wrote a short story for a writing contest at accentuate services, finished it off today and realized after having my ‘editors’ review it, that I wasn’t as done with it as I thought.
I had some tough ‘discussion’ issues to resolve. I was writing in rather dangerous water; I can’t really reveal much here as it would give the plot and ending away…
Lets just say the discussion wasn’t your run of the mill variety, trying to tag dialogue for someone that can’t speak. Conversation between several characters with a similar problem, and resolving that problem took some “creative” license.
Oh well now all that’s left is trying to get it formatted properly and sent. The joys of writing! 2400+ words and all I can think of is the next one.
My editors started my day out with one yes and one I’m confused, leading to my dilemma. Somewhere the author was to blame and two opinions just were not going to work.
Accentuate services has a forum for writers, a great forum where it is possible to download your work behind a password, The password protects our copyrights and prevents search engines from finding and ruining the first published status.
Once in the critique section you can get help with problem child writing. I was able to fix my illiteracy issue and move forth. A wonderful concept.
Unfortunately on a personal note, Life is being unkind to me today and I have to make some phone calls I’ve been putting off. My father again.

It’s a good story! I love the ending, and think the judges will get a kick out of it.
Sorry things are not going good with your dad.
