So, as promised, I have finished my other possible comp entry (and extended it past the 1000 words as I felt it needed) and it is in the queue. Get ready for some "Heavy Cello Love".
Read it… and… although I liked your comp piece a lot, I LOVED this one, but happy you didn’t cut it down to size. You love metal so much, you should write more stories around it.

Well, this is my second in under a year (Scream Away The Silence from the Sound of Silence comp is the other). There might be more to come. We shall see. And some of my other stories have metal on the mental soundtrack I have for them (e.g. a couple of the Tana stories have Nightwish songs as "soundtrack" and the character of Tana was envisioned at one point as being played by their current lead singer).

The metal singer made Brenda an interesting offer, but was her interest in the music ... or him?

I haven't read the story yet, but HEAVILY agree about writing about what you love (he said, having never written about baseball) (I do have a small but about my love of playing catch in the novel).

Hmm. So for me, that might be a symphonic metal band with a cellist and a fantastic Dutch lead singer on a fantasy quest. Though a D&D party comprised entirely of bards is likely a bit of a losing proposition. 🤣

Good day, all! Long weekend here in the Great White North but we are kind of shut in here due to poor air quality (smoke from the wildfires out West). However, I am doing some writing and listening and stuff to relax.
Putting on some Haliburton Costa Rica Azalea coffee. For teas, we have an Organic Orange Pekoe from David's and also their David's Breakfast. Pitchers are washed up and refilled with fresh lemonade and unsweet iced tea. Sodas are stocked up. For the tummy and tastebuds, we've got date squares and brownies.

Heya everyone.
The game was Big Fun. Not exactly a crisp, well-played game, but the Rockies won, with a 17-16 final score. It was fun to watch. 40 hits, 3.5 hours (and that doesn’t include the concert). The Dead cover band was reasonably good, good enough to get us dancing. Anyway, fun night.
Hot and sunny here. Coffee please!

Early evening, all! 
I’m not sure I’ve ever had a date square, Mr Ape, and will probably stick to a brownie. 
Glad the game was big fun, Verbal! :)

Yay! We are working again!
Good afternoon. Hope all are doing well this fine day. Our air has cleared out so I can go for a walk without inhaling smoke from fires so far away I only hear about them on the news.
Anything exciting in your world?

Dancing sounds fun. Glad you had a good time, Jeff.
Scott, my husband, makes date squares fairly often. Maybe it's a Canadian thing? I modify the recipe when our fig tree is producing pounds of figs to make fig squares. I like both kinds of squares.
It is staying relatively cool here; it's a nice change of pace. I am trying to complete everything before I leave for my trip to Newfoundland on Sunday. I like to plan and organize; my husband, not so much. It will be good to get away.
I hope everyone is having a good week. I'll take a soda to go. I'll be hanging out on my back deck until further notice.

Not sure. Don't recall if I have had them in other countries. There's two types that I have had. There's the ones I think you are talking about where the dates are in a jammy layer in the middle with a crumble on top. And the ones my mother made where they were in pieces in a firm, dense cake-like dough. I have a recipe around for the latter and my wife have made it occasionally.
How is it going out there, folks? Bit cloudy and muggy in my world. Air quality is better but still a bit off due to smoky.
Fresh coffee is brewed and teapots are filled. Cold bevvies are looking good.
How about cookies and pie today?

Good morning. Freshened up the hot beverages and checked the fridge.
Toying with writing but not doing much. Too tired after work these days. Maybe on the weekend.
Weather is better. Still a bit on the hot side but not the steamy, muggy days we've had at other times this summer. The air quality isn't perfect, but better than the beginning of the week.
And 1 day until the comp results. The suspense is building...😊
