@xin-li Nice work!

I've been slowing down a little, but making sure to at least complete a synopsis. I'm liking most of what I'm writing (but then, they're my prompts, lol)

I've been trying to make sure that I have a kind of 'twist' for the final page. Something (a joke, a 'not all's actually well') to replace the 'happily ever after'.

I probably will be sporadic now fi I do any. Busy, leaving town, etc. Keep up teh good work though. I'll see if I can squeeze anything in.

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen It's alllll good! I'm starting to slow down myself

@Braden-Hallett Galoshes Galore??? I had to google to find out what does it mean

I am not sure if I get it completely. But then if I misinterprete the prompt, it will just be fun.

@xin-li Myriad boots!

[theprairiefox]

@Braden-Hallett Bundles of Boots? Rainboot Ruckus?

[theprairiefox]

@Braden-Hallett I had to pull back from doing complete stories as well.

I have about 1 that is complete, 7 that are 75% done, and 5 synopses.

And having read them to my boys I got to say, POOP jokes for the win!

[xin li]

@theprairiefox what age are your boys? My toddler is also into poop jokes right now, I wonder when are they done with that, if ever?

[theprairiefox]

@xin-li mine are 9,11, and 13.

And I don't think they ever outgrow poop jokes! I know I haven't.

My wife just shakes her head at us...

My niece is 2. She is a connoisseur of the toilet buffet. There's just something primal about poop that most kids are fascinated with
