Sometimes it just goes like that.

Y'know, I was gonna put out a story for the current contest.

I've been working hard on it, and had every intent of entering it!

Except that I'm currently 9,250 words into what's supposed to be a 5,000 word story, writing on the fifth chapter of what's supposed to be a one-part-complete affair, with one chapter left to go after this 'un.

Funny how that happens, ain't it?

For real, though, I'm having a blast with the story seed I'm working on, all thanks to inspiration from Angie, Emma, and Joanne, and the hard work they've been putting in to this whole contest.

I may not be a valid entry... but I think I've got a very fun story coming out of it, and when that happens, we all win, right?
