And anotherronism said "Holy shit, this f-king story was cool". He's like God or something? Get a grip, Doug. We're all the same. |

I'm over it. I don't mean to complain about others. |

mrsjesus, Doug said rule-breaking IS allowed. I'm leaving town but when I get back on Friday, hope to see more of your wonderful writing ... with or without wordlist! No internet where I'm staying. Catch up with you all later. Have fun! |

giraffe: BATTERIES was hilarious. The ending was superb.."Mom's got a small one, but that just makes me feel ditzy." LOL |

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers on ThinkDraw, ThinkWrite and all your grandmothers too! |

giraffe: Just read your little tirade on Ron. No I don't think he views himself as a "GOD". He did start something pretty special that has continued on even in his long absence and we are all a big part of that. At least for that we do need to show him some gratitude and those of us who were "surprised and happy" at his showing up for the last ThinkWrite haven't heard from him for a long time. So get over it, please and write. You have a wonderful mind and your writing speaks volumes. You said you like "peace" and that is why I chose that word so lets see a story about your views on peace. |

Ok, I think I'm caught up now so here is my own first story for this ThinkWrite... |

Very cool, Doug. I've always thought that a single bulb hanging from the ceiling has an eerie, poetic effect. |

And I'm not railing on anyone. I was commenting on use of profanity which you brought up. |

Doug--Light Bulb---Me thinks another chapter could follow. I want to know what happens when the light goes out BOO !!!!!! Good one. |

mouse: In my original story which I edited down I did have something happen. By getting it down to 318 I think I left enough to the imagination that you can infer what might have happened to Randall and there is no need for another Chapter, although never say never. |

off topic, replying to Doug on Mild Cubism - Just wanted to let you know I found a ton of examples of Mild Cubism (more or less) in your own gallery and collected some on that forum to show that you're already (more or less) a Mild Cubist! |

Giraffe -- if you really want to rebel rather than merely rant, stay in THIS series and keep writing free-form as and whenever your own will leads you. I certainly do. ;> |

Thanks Q....It did have a shocker ending until I edited it out. After I blue penciled it I thought it was actually better as you noted. |

You're right, Qsilv. Actually, Mothers' Day is still kind of traumatic for me. I'm over it. My mom and I shared the same birthday so we always celebreated it together. Then she died on Xmas morning. Kinda screws up my holidays. I was being rash. |

I know when I'm torch bearer I usually set a strict word count but that doesn't mean I don't read the ones that go over (and usually enjoy them too). When it comes to choosing the next torch bearer I pretty much only consider the ones that stuck to the rules but I love the variety and you guys are right, ThinkWrite can only thrive when we have lots of contributions. Sometimes a story that blatently breaks the rules and uses none of the word list can get your creative juices going and get you to write something you may not have thought of on your own. |

318 w/o title. Blame Doug for this challenge. |

The timing thing says that maybe it's too late for peace, compassion and truth. I didn't have any words left in the story, but that's the gist. |

Just read an article in the newspaper the other day that they have traced Neandrathol DNA to homo sapiens. We all have it in us. From a genetic standpoint I think we are "born" to wage war, dispute, fight or whatever you want to call it. It takes effort to achieve peace. It is not an innate characteristic to us humans. Working so close to a few major college campuses has taught me a few things. Either I'm getting older, the future is doomed by the children being raised today or maybe a bit of both. |
