Hi JJ! I'm in, but damned if I didn't have to look up the word transom! :)
If forgets along of things doesn't she? I'm in like Flynn baby.
typo silliness ahhhh, good times
Is that one of those windows over a door?
Happy FFF JJ. I'm in, but damned if I know where I'm gonna go with this one!
Me too Chelene!
JJ, I go away for a couple weeks and you pull out the big guns! ;)
(PS-I'm in again, but had to dismantle my old blog, so the URL changed. Just so ya know.)
No snakes living in my house - damn what a relief! Don't ask me how, but I'm done - seriously - it was the shower - it just came to me - I'm actually afraid kinda sorta - had to jump out and get it written before I forgot it
i'm in jj! but now i'm leaving fff to post something else on my blog so i don't go straight from one fff to another.
besides, i'm miffed at your ignoring my obvious attempts to flirt with you.
walk good.
Wow...it's been a long time since I've done it, but I think I'm going to attempt it this week.
Hi, I'm new here, but I'm in.
I found you through, um, actually I'm not 100% sure where - too much link-clicking I'm afraid.
But sure, I'll give this one a try.
Welcome, Terri.
Trini, I thought you were in Trini. I could never ignore you.
Ok, I'm in too. But damn if I know what to do with that lead-in "If forgot, the transom would feel left out."
Alrighty kids, 'tis no longer the season but hey, I'm finished and I learned a new word in the process.
A Glow With Xmas Miracles
when i got back from trini i posted this looong comment on your "promise i won't" post, saying i would start calling you and whispering in your ear in my trini accent and such, but you didn't take me up on my offer, alas...
i'm still in (fff) though. back soon with results.
walk good.
jj- a question before i can actually write this: your starter says "the transom. if forgot the transom..."
did you mean "I forgot the transom" or "IF I forgot the transom"?
i'd like to use your original intention...
walk good.
My bad, it should read "I forgot the transom."
Write good.
Oh, Trini, if you were to call me here the sparks would totally fly. Unfortunately, most of them would be coming out of the gun MLA would use to kill me.
Not that it wouldn't be worth it.
I think I'm in. I hope I'm in. I've got it half-written but it seems to be arguing for some length that I disagree with since it would take more time and might prevent getting it finished.
Damn stories. Minds of their own. But I'll show it who's boss!
Snarl.
I'm stewing on it. It's soaking in up there in the neural pathways and when the buzzer tings, I will (half-assedly) take the half-baked thing out of the oven. That is, if it doesn't drift off through the transom of my mind. Hee hee.
Finito. =)
ok, it's done. not sure how i feel about it yet, but went brave and put it up anyway...
walk good.
Here it is...

I guess I am putting the flash in fiction.
In and fin.
breaker breaker 1020
I'm back, and I'm done.
Well, I don't think I am going to make it in this week. I shall lavish everyone else with gooey, warm praise to make up for it, though, I promise.
Ah-HA! Thought I was gonna miss it, did ya?
Well you were wrong! As always, late...but not too late.
I'm done and no one died this week. Unfortunately.
I'm in, such as it is...and I did no poet proud.
i'm in too! i saw it on friday, wrote it over the weekend & nearly forgot to comment saying i wanted to play!
PS howdy terri!
Good news and bad news. My fiction is up. It's posted. However, it's incomplete. It's an "in progress" thing:
The cowboy in the transom
Although not finished, 90% of the ending is in my head - and very entertaining. However, I started writing this as a "let's see where this goes" thing. The more I write, the more involved it gets, the more the characters start becoming a bit more solid (though they are still at this point caricatures) and the more intrigued by it I become.
I hope I can get it finished one of these days (sooner rather than later) so I can go back and rewrite it to fix the continuity problems etc. There are quite a few.
Blah blah blah ... as if anyone cares. Anyway, this is what I came up with this time around. (And just how did the cowboy end up in the transom?)
I didn't do it. I just came by to say hi.
