New writers contest

Dummy me I had no idea that you could not enter because you were running the whole shebang ! Now that kinda sucked !

I had hoped Charles would write another great story... which with his proper sentence construction, spelling and punctuation makes the whole thing easy on the brain and eyes. (Unlike my stuff which can be like a puzzle trying to figure out the intent..)

So we give up one to gain another.... Such is life I suppose. 

I really am not a schooled writer (obviously)..... so unless I have an educated proof reader and spelling 'B' champion looking over my shoulder I really do suck. My present wife does not even read English in a helpful way !  (week weak border boarder there their.. poor example but you understand)  all the usual mistakes a 4th grader would make etc etc.... 

Believe it or not I used to write occasionally for US aviator and every month for Southern Skies (both now out of business) but I have always just considered myself a story teller.... like some back woods grandpa who needs a dark night and a camp fire to make things interesting .

Spell check works for many but I am so hopeless (and probably don't care like I should) that words are typed, sentences are made that only I can read and understand but I still enjoy it occasionally... Might be from growing up in Texas with a accent or writing short hand and copying clearances at work; mostly using symbols can be a slight excuse..? Or I am just a dumb A** or, a man of few words which used to be a badge of something good in movies until I figured out it usually meant 'nothing up in the noggin' ...? ... sad story!! hahah.

Well if I am still alive come March I do have a story that is rather scientific, slow to start, slightly complicated, based on real science, and probably boring to most about a dimensional empire that to me answers many of the questions about visitors from "OUT THERE" that might get one or two votes... ( what a promo teaser, no?)...

Now, if the Theme is about Dogs or Pigs I can always start the story with a one liner about Oscar the ???... hahaha  Themes SUCK! Oops sorry probably not PC...... and besides with a theme you are directed to write about something that you know nothing about because you never cared about the subject.. That is for script writers not story tellers !! hahahhaha Yep expand your writing horizons and all that... Sometimes I think my horizons expanded so much I have forgotten where they went to ... No kidding !

Cheers
