Not bad!
I landed somewhere in the middle of the pack. An average score, if you will. But looks at those trophies!

It's always interesting entering the #TwistedTournament #WritingCompetition 😎 Loving the peer feedback & awards (even for my experimental R2 story 🙃😂) ... I especially love the 'triple threat award' I received (3 awards from the same judge for my R3 story 😎) Now to find suitable homes for them 💜❤️😎

That was a #Challenge 😱 I don't know if it's because I'm pushing the boundaries of my usual writing or whether my brain was just somewhere other than on the #TwistedTournament #WritingCompetition 🤔 Either way, I need to keep my eye on the ball for the next few days 🤔😎

I'm sure I'll have more tweaks later, but I'm pretty pleased with the outcome

Struggling with this one - mostly because my day job has been quite busy
I have a basic idea, a few words in my notebook, and a few hours this evening to come up with something worthy

Managed to crack the top 10 for the first time in @twistinthetale.bsky.social for my third round story “Are You a Parking Ticket?”, which got a clean sweep of ’most heartfelt‘ trophies, amongst others. ❤️
Also clawed my way onto the final leaderboard—20th overall! 🥳

When I received the Round 2 prompts for the #TwistedTournament #WritingCompetition I had brain freeze (no substantial ideas for hours) 😱 After creating an ideation grid (Situation vs. Character Tropes) followed by 2 re-rolls I had a breakthrough 🍀😎 1 more day to go then I can hopefully chill 🤔💜❤️😎

Anyone else on here doing #TwistedTournament? Last time I got confused about the timeline/structure and wrote nothing at all. This time I’m gonna do it, I swear!

I'm writing a blog post about how to buy short fiction #writing contest entry fees as gifts. I've got #WritingBattle, #NYCMidnight, #TwistedTournament, and #NotQuiteWrite. Are there any other well-known writing contests out there that do entry gifting?

Not too bad a result in #Twistedtournament with final score of 24.97 and 14th place in my group for R3.
It’s that dang 500 that I just never score well in. Aim to improve that in the November tourney.
