Site Administrator Cia Posted November 18, 2018 Site Administrator Share Posted November 18, 2018 Write 100 to 500 words in a plot with the three themes, based on your roll. And, to the glee of the Grinch, also known as me, who wants to hoard them all, you can just use words with just one beat in your whole plot. Whew! What a test of your skill! Just say you want to play, roll the dice, and share your themes. *It’s a help, not a cheat, if you find words in the book or site with lots of words that show more words that mean the same thing. Post your piece not seen by Dec. two-one and send me the link. Not sure just what any of this means? Send me a PM. Need to vent re: the grinch theft of the words? Join in here where you say you play to talk on any day. 3 Link to comment
Brayon Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Rolled and got 1, 3, 1, so that's Elf, Nog, Tree for me. Interesting. 1 Link to comment
Puppilull Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I want to play, so I hit the dice. There were three, so 4 2 3. This means doll, pud and wreath. One thing first: is "pushed" one beat? It is the way I say it, but I may be wrong. 2 Link to comment
Site Administrator Valkyrie Posted November 18, 2018 Site Administrator Share Posted November 18, 2018 Count me in! Elf, cane, star ⭐ This will be an interesting exercise. 2 Link to comment

Brayon Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Had to search what pud meant. Thank the gods for that one site that you can search on. 3 Link to comment
Site Administrator Cia Posted November 18, 2018 Author Site Administrator Share Posted November 18, 2018 You can use more than one beat here to talk, just FYI. I just tried to show the skill for the post. Not easy by any means, and you must do lots of checks out loud to find more than one beat words that creep in. 3 Link to comment
Puppilull Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Just my way to get in the zone... 2 1 Link to comment
comicfan Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I have 5, 4, 1. So Grinch, cane, and tree. Beware every Who down in Whoville! I'm a mean one. Poor Dr. Seuss has no idea what is loose. Five words times a hun is the max, and no more is a fact. Hard at work on this, might just be bliss. 1 1 1 Link to comment

Backwoods Boy Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Tried several times to roll the dice. Always get this. What am I missing? 2 Link to comment

I had that issue too, but if you click on Numbers in the nav bar above the website name, it should work for you. Just have to set the parameters for the roll. 2 Link to comment

Site Administrator Cia Posted November 19, 2018 Author Site Administrator Share Posted November 19, 2018 @Backwoods Boy If it is more than 100 words, then yes, a poem is fine. 3 Link to comment
Puppilull Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 In that weird state between being asleep and waking up, my little story hatched this morning. Typed it up now and I think it's told me what it wants to be. A short one, but maybe I'll add a few more words when tweaking. Just to make sure: doomed is a one beat word, right? I say it out loud and only hit my thigh once, but I want to make sure... 3 Link to comment

Puppilull Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Sorry for silly questions, but I think I get it now. Just so easy to be tricked by all those vowels. 3 Link to comment
Dolores Esteban Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) 1 5 3 - Elf, bark, wreath I guess I'll try a poem. Edited November 25, 2018 by Dolores Esteban 4 Link to comment

Brayon Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Yes, it's very hard. I'm running into some issues. 2 Link to comment
northie Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Can't' decide about this one. I'm busy currently with other stuff. I'll give it a week or two and come back to it. I think the challenge needs more publicity on the site, not just in the newsletter. 2 Link to comment
Brayon Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'm sorry to say, I have to bow out of this one. I was looking forward to it. However, my course load is not allowing me the time to put as much energy into this, that I had hoped. 2 Link to comment
Puppilull Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I wrote a short and rather dark snippet. 3 Link to comment
Dolores Esteban Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I submitted a poem. I hope this qualifies. 3 Link to comment
