Week 3 – What If #1
Happy new year, neverwriters.
First off, congratulations to us all for our week 2 submissions. Kudos for reading the Salinger story (I assume we all did) and for putting out interesting reads. Our strongest week so far in my opinion. We are missing Chenyl though but we hope to have her for week 3. A quick recap:
Most Well-Researched – Shark. “Our Hawaii people over at Shafter are on the dogwatch. We got feedback from Australian intel that we’ve got inherent coast danger thirty-four clicks away after their last transmission.” Show off. 
Most Intriguing – Altair. And might I add the earliest to post (what’s this world coming to?). Tightly written, no word went to waste. And if your blood temperature fell a few degrees at the end, you wouldn’t be the only one.
Week 2 Mark of Excellence – Dale. And it’s not just the choice of language. Strong opening, stronger ending although some would feel quite short-changed at the end. But a piece of writing is a trail of decisions made by the author and that’s what he decided on. That’s that. Mayari is on hot streak, ladies and gentlemen.
On to Week 3. Here’s the theme:
WHAT IF I WERE…?
Don’t just answer the question; tell a story. In not more than 1000 words. This is the first in a “What if?” series of writing exercises.
Deadline is January 15th, Friday.
May the Muses go with you.
