My story use to be 10 pages and I thought that I brought it down quite a bit.

I've revised my theme title but the meaning of the theme remains the same and I also added some very important points to my story which directly relates to my theme; so, I hope that the Espresso team I mean the Eclipse team will give all of these enteries a final examination.

WHEW!!

I will be adding my entry this week, and thanks for the clarification of the issues. It really helps.

I have a thought/suggestion. After reading some of the entries, I realize what a truly amazing group of people we have here.

What is going to happen to all the posts after the contest is over? Is there anyway to archive them?

I think it would be a shame to have the dissappear at some future time and would like to see them archived/saved if at all possible.

I have another quick question. In the short story, is it necessary to highlight the key words mentioning the Food, the item of clothing, the type of trasnportation, the city or country or the musical instrument? My story has all of these things and in some cases several different examples of a particular topic, but I haven't highlighted them or made them bold or anything.

Just curious.

I may make a final tweak or two before the 25th, but my entry is pretty much what I want it to be.

Still Trying

I just finished editing my original contest entry for the last time, I hope. The explanation as to why I amended the story is given in the contest entry. I hope I have not exceeded any limits as to space, but I was not aware such limits existed, when I was re-writing my entry in an attempt to make it more competitive. If there is a limit, would someone please state what the limit is, while there is still time to amend the entries. I do not wish to be disqualified by a criterion I did not know existed. Thanks.

Hi trickg (Patrick),

No, it isn't necessary to highlight the "required" words. If they're in there, then you're "legal".

Hi Liad,

Don't get worried about your word count. I just wanted to make a point about "quality" being more important than "quantity", as far as theme length goes. And, I also wanted to have a little fun with Leigh's upcoming Espresso habit. :wink:

Good luck, Patrick and Liad!

...and so is his gun.

Edit: Oops.....Don't want this to end up in the steel cage. And I promised myself not to get into political discussion. As a result I've removed my question about what he uses to protect his nether regions with.

Toots,

No worries about the cage. I'm as easy going as they come.



Paul,

I was wondering how ya'll kept up with those of us who made revisions to our entries? I'm asking because I see that some, including myself, actually made some serious changes. Wait, what am I saying? Ya'll are on top of this like spiders on a birthday cake. (I'm sure you are all aware of the changes made).
