Sniglet for the Week:  Airdirt:  A hanging plant that's been ignored for 3 weeks or more.
(sniglets are works that aren't in the dictionary, but should be!)

It's November 1st. Halloween is over. I was disappointed not to have a single trick or treater!   Though, I made good progress on crocheting that baby blanket while waiting around!

Today was "update the website" day, too! I added some nice photos of Jean Grey in her Phoenix costume from X3. And the writers challenge for this month is related to discovering the real meaning of Christmas. (I work about a month ahead of holidays on those--need time to edit.)

I have a 20-page limit on story submissions, but that doesn't mean they have to be 20-pages It just means not more than that--mostly because the editing takes a good deal of time considering it's a hobby and I do have a real life.

20-pages does equal about 14,000 words. That's alot. DG Davis's challenge story "Afflicted" is a good example that, if you want to see what 20-pages looks like.

The average submission, though, is usually between 3 & 10 pages. I've discovered I really like offering flash fiction challenges (500 words) or challenges with other word limits because it makes editing them a breeze.

I have a combo WierdJob/Holiday Christmas Challenge I was working on last year I may work on again for this year. I got stumped on the ending. It concerns an odd Christmas event which happens to Logan while he's working one time as a cab driver.   (The Weird Job Challenge was to write about an interesting work experience Logan might've considered "weird."  In fifteen years, I figure he did more than fight cages or pool hall hustling to earn a buck. My next story chapter will have him re-visit another "past job", in fact. Ice road driving. It's  called "Encounters" though the ice road driving only serves as a story back-drop. (It creates the situation for certain "encounters") Seeing it on history channel once gave me the idea.

Hi Thanks so much for your wonderful comment over at my blog. I'm just catching up on messages. :)

Aw, no trick-o-treaters? We only got 1 but we didn't give out candies this year.

Have a wonderful week. :)

Aw thank you so much!
And it's my pleasure!

Yes, you're right. It's too much effort trying to post each day to be a featured SITS blogger just to get so little in return. So not fair. Thanks for sharing with me. **many hugs to you.

Have a wonderful and fun week! See you soon! :D
