[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8164234, member: 59816"] [spoiler="On my Round 2 Entry"]That was hard. Like really hard. The title betrays what I think of my entry overall, though I don't hate it in the end as much as I did for 90% of writing it. I really bit off more than I could chew. It wasn't the Ingredients - they were relatively "easy" compared to last time. The ingredients immediately made me think of doing an Investigative story set in a Western. I loved the idea of it. Somewhere along the line, it turned into a D&D game, which I didn't want to do (weirdly, it could even be a sequel to my last entry). Then I was hit with severe writer's block. I've never had writer's block before. It's not that I didn't have an idea where the story was going, it's just that every word was somehow painful to place down. Every. Word. I have no idea why. On top of that, I lost all of Saturday to work, and most of Sunday to family demands. (The last Sunday before both my wife, and my two kids, all go back to school, though much of that is still online.) I don't mean to make excuses, really. It's just that I really enjoyed writing the first entry. This one? Not so much. It was okay, and I [I]do[/I] appreciate having had the opportunity. In the end, I'm basically satisfied that I didn't embarrass myself, but I don't hold much hope of winning (I have yet to read my opponent's piece but I assume that the reigning champ can beat what I posted). I hope some of you at least enjoy it well enough! ...And I hope the judges are feeling kind.[/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
