Diversity Exercise #2

We're getting down to the wire for submissions to the annual Poetry Anthology.  Submissions are due March 30th, so there is about a week and a half to get your links posted to the thread in the Anthology forum of the Writer's Circle.  I'm really looking forward to reading the different interpretations of "Diversity".   I thought it would be fun to do another exercise using the Diversity theme.  This would be a great jumping off point for poems for the anthology *hint hint*  We can create a

March Signature Feature: Pardon my Polari by Dodger

This is the end...

Valkyrie already told you that we’re trying a few new twists for the prompt blog. Last time, she wrote the beginning of a story and some of you continued it in the comment section.

How to proceed - 110325

Okay, so, phew. Milestone for Emmett and Finley is reached! And of course I once was "oh but with 25 chapters it should be done". Yeah, sure. Seems like I'm incapable of short(er) stories. Anyway. There are two more stories waiting for them in my mind and following that I have the idea of a fourth one featuring another couple (one of the guys we already know, wanna guess?). But I'm sure as hell not start straight away with part 2 as soon as I'm done. The Drama Queen has a cooldown. (Or my nerves
