RE: "Exquisite Corpse: Get Off My Farm, Punk!” - Chapter 3 (... the genre Shakespeare refused to write.)
Absolutely fantastic. I loved the last series and am hooked on this one too.
Very awesome.

@girlbeforemirror,
Thanks Marg. I hope you didn't miss any buses this time around. :-)
You know, I'm starting to get into this novel-writing stuff. It's a lot of fun. I can only IMAGINE what you could do with something like this.
Quill
You perhaps over estimate my ability. I did not miss a bus. For the record I don't catch too many buses, my instability is not suited to the stopping and starting. Missing it gave me permission to catch a taxi with less guilt about wasting the money.
I thought you might like to read a vet weekend free write. https://steemit.com/weekendfreewrite/@superdavey/weekend-freewrite
@girlbeforemirror,
I read the freewrites and left a comment.
Quill
Yes you did...
I should have seen that coming perhaps...
I didn't. But in hindsight I should have.
Here, please pick the pieces of me from this I made it very transparent it should be easy, it'll make me feel better.

@girlbeforemirror,
Yes you should have. :-) :-) :-)
Poor Marianne ... you owe her an apology for whistling me over. @mariannewest ... nothing personal. Marg and I are great buds but we do have a few points of difference about which we've been debating for some time ... more matters of degree than distinction ... and, as writers, we write.
Marg, I went over to your blog with the intention of picking the flesh from your bones like carrion happening upon roadkill. I couldn't. I agree with your sentiments entirely.
Dammit ... how are we ever going to have a sustained argument about anything, when we keep agreeing with each other about everything. We have no credibility. :-)
Quill
Yes, she does - the whole point of the freewrite is to let loose and to write whatever comes to mind. There were 3 prompts that moved the story forward and it wasn't an opinion piece but a work of fiction. I am kind of sad that you jumped down the throat of a first-time participant and truly hope that you didn't scare him away from participating in our community in the future.
@mariannewest,
Marianne, I think, perhaps, there's been a bit of misunderstanding. Marg and I are VERY GOOD friends. Indeed, I am her poetry mentor. We frequently communicate by email, including earlier today. There's a half-dozen private jokes reflected in our various comments and replies. There is NOTHING malicious going on. Marg and I are very close ... you're only seeing 1% of our communiques and therefore missing the context. I commented upon her entry in your contest as well. Did you read it? Surely you can see the humor in my reply above. It even ends in a smiley face.
Respecting my comments to your other contest participant ... did you go back and read my reply to his comment? I was not jumping down anyone's throat. Indeed, I prefaced my original commentary by saying that I thought his freewrites were very well done. He and I are both ex-military and the "politicization of the troops" is an issue about which many soldiers feel quite strongly. Obviously, I am one. Following our exchange, he has since followed me and I have followed him.
I understand your concern but I think the wires have gotten crossed.
Quill
I am glad that everyone is on a friendly basis - and I think I should have added a smiley face. I was concerned because it was the first time superdavey participated in a freewrite and I wanted it to be a positive experience for him. I know that you are passionate about this subject - it comes through very clearly.
Just wanted to make sure you knew that he was trying to fit the prompts in somehow. Glad you are following each other now.
