I am looking forward to getting way to Canaan Valley tomorrow to spend the weekend alone with my husband.

Dark Chocolate.

Asparagus or Brocolli?

As a mom of three girls 5-3-3, I live for time alone with my husband. No contest.

Ride a horse or ride a camel?

More more more!!!! We wants more!!!!

YES! M O R E stories from some new talent!!

Don't make it easy for the honorable judges.

Definitely CHEERY, Real life is scary enough, thank you.

Pepsi products or Coca Cola produ ts?

Quote by Mendalla

I have a new idea that feels great in theory. Problem is, not sure how to really, clearly tie it to the theme. We'll see.

Remember, Mendalla. Molly told us the story doesn' t have to lead to romance. Your entry is very good!

Morning! Like a good night's sleep; something my husband and I didn't get when our three daughters were born (now 5-3-3, so much better!).

Running or cycling?

Cat!, Mendalla. Cat!

Piano or Quartet at a classical concert?

Baseball

Lemonade or Iced Tea?

Play if winter sport (skiing, down-hill or cross-country, hockey, skating, sledding, etc.), watch if not a winter sport.

Fly or drive if time isn't critical?

History museum if had it were only one, but art museums are nice too. Just like museums and history in general.

Stanley Cup or World Cup finals?

Mine is following yours, Mendalla.

Definitely bliss out. I avoid crowds and noise. Prefer the sounds of nature to the sounds of civilization. I envy Superman's 'Fortess of Solitude!'

Vacation on land or cruise at sea?

Like both, with gravy. But my preference is for rice.

Movie or Dancing on a dinner date?

Hmmm, interesting choice. I'm choosing historical romance though. I like history, even though a mat/physics major in college.

Sea Food or Beef/chicken/Pork?

Cheesecake is good no matter what. But, traditionally baked anything is always better than packaged food. Not like something right out of the oven.

Romance or Horror?

Quote by Molly

Look at this! I step away for two days, and I come back to five new stories! That's fantastic. I have so much reading to do. Yay, keep 'em coming.

More contestants, please. We need more wtiters to submit their magnumopus so that the Summer Love composition will be largest and best EVER! Besides, Molly is bored without a story backlog!!

I've read the first three competition stories. All of them are excellently written and well worth the time to read. All draw your emotions out. All three have caused me to reevaluate my own story and pause on its submission. Thank you all you have written and entered the competition. I hope to join you soon.

Being a math and science major (as well studying law), I a descriptive, detail-oriented writer.

Urban or Rural for story setting?

Realistic fiction for sure. Stories about spirits, the supernatural, etc., are really hard for me.

Longer, more detailed stories with character development or shorter stories where the protagonist isn't as well defined?

In that dilemma right now. Started on the current comp. Found out it was going to be way to long for a 1000 word limit comp. Started to rewrite it. Read the first two stories of the comp. Realized mine was to tame (or lame). Now trying to come up with something for it. Usually, want to get it out of the way. Still hope to in the next day or two.

Write stories based on truth (or fact) or write totally fictional stories with no regard for accuracy or fact?

Sundae. With nuts. Chocolate or Carmel syrup with vanilla ice cream. Cherry on top, of course, with whipping cream too.

Chocolate or Strawberry milkshake?

Got carried away on the word count and had to hack a bunch of words.

I know where you're coming from. I too got carried away and had to restructure my story. Hope to get it ready for submission tomorrow.

Depends on trip and destination. For just scenic driving, a sedan is much more comfortable. But if you're getting off the road, or off improved highways, then an SUV. Same for camping or similar. SUV. But generally, sedan is much more comfortable and you can enjoy the trip better and longer.

Ice cream in a cone or in a bowl?

Hamburgers. I'm a beef girl. Hot dogs are good too, though.

Crowded, boisterous beach on the ocean or quiet, serene beach on a lake?

Quote by WriterGirl

Woohoo! Fun comp, Molly! :worship:

Already have the idea floating around in my head.
