That's a wrap on the #500Word #TwistedTournament story ... Thankfully, compared to last weekends rhyming story, this felt like a relatively painless flow through Ideation, Creation and Editing 💜❤️😎 ... Now to await the dropping of the potential prompts tomorrow for the #48Hour #250Word story 🤔😱

I wasn't sure I'd get through to R2 of the NYC Rhyming comp so having a long weekend with that, & straight into the #TwistedTournament #WritingCompetition is a shock to the system 🤔😱 ... Going to be another busy 6 days #CreativeWriting & 8 days #PeerJudging 💜❤️😎

Good luck to everyone taking part 🍀🤞😎

Day 30-something
#43daysofwritinginsanity is wrapping up this week.
Submitted to #FuriousFiction and #RhymingStoryChallenge today. The Rhyming was particularly challenging for me and I was waaaaay out of my comfort zone. Happy to get something in though. On to #twistedtournament

"Yearning" was a fun prompt for round 3 of #TwistedTournament. I wrote FALLING IN GLOVE (100 words).

Managed to crack the top 10 for the first time in @twistinthetale.bsky.social for my third round story “Are You a Parking Ticket?”, which got a clean sweep of ’most heartfelt‘ trophies, amongst others. ❤️
Also clawed my way onto the final leaderboard—20th overall! 🥳

Not bad!

I landed somewhere in the middle of the pack. An average score, if you will. But looks at those trophies!

Not too bad a result in #Twistedtournament with final score of 24.97 and 14th place in my group for R3.
It’s that dang 500 that I just never score well in. Aim to improve that in the November tourney.

“Uh-oh, did Bitsy make a wee-wee?”

That is the least of Jen's problems in THE DREAD TOOTLING (499 words), written for round 1 of #TwistedTournament

(Bitsy did, in fact, make a wee-wee.)

13th! My best finish yet in @twistinthetale.bsky.social #TwistedTournament!
Plus:
1x Best Last Line 🎭
1x Most Heartfelt 💔
4x Funniest 😂
1x Best Title 📖

(I shared anonymously and don't seem to be able to change that setting - it's called The Dread Tootling.)

Reading so many good stories and interesting ideas people come up with in both #Twistedtournament Feedback Festival and #Writingbattle summer nano debrief. Really enjoying the variety.

TT judging done and weekly Side Quest submitted. There are some great writers and stories out there. Brain fried but it’s been fun!

And the #PeerJudging of my assigned #TwistedTournament #NanoFiction is complete 🤔💜❤️😎 ... It's always interesting to see other #CreativeWriters styles & how they have interpreted their respective prompts 🤔
Good luck to everyone taking part 🤞🍀😎

It is done...

To be fair, I'd submitted my story around 6 hours before deadline. I made very few tweaks. And, again, I'm rather pleased with the outcome.

Aaaaand that’s it! You did it 🥳

Come back soon for judging, but right now - take a very well-earned break!

Final Round (3) of the #TwistedTournament #NanoFiction #WrtiingCompetition complete 💜❤️😎 It took a couple of re-rolls before I landed on something I could work with 🤔 The biggest problem, is the risk I've taken with this story (I can't say anymore at this stage as we're in the pre-judging stage) 🤔😱

Despite a monster week of juggling work and family commitments, I've completed my 3 stories for August's Twisted Tournament.

Didn't even roll the dice... just went with what was provided!

Good luck to everyone taking part!

#Twistedtournament round 2 submitted. I really like this one & hope it does well. #Twistinthetale
August 22, 2025 at 9:23 PM
Round 2 of the #TwistedTournament kicked my arse. I'm not sure where my head was 🤔😱 ... Anywhere but coalescing on a viable #250Word story 🤔😱😂 I finally had a breakthrough today and have something submitted that I actually like ❤️💜😎 (Just hoping it does well during the #PeerJudging )

I do like having guiding prompts to shape a story, but the flexibility available in round 2 is nice too. #Twistedtournament #twistinthetale 🧐🥳💻📖🖋️

#Twistedtournament round 1 story submitted. Pretty happy with it.

After a few tweaks, I submitted my story

I'm sure I'll have more tweaks later, but I'm pretty pleased with the outcome

I have a story! It's a bit rough, and needs editing, but I don't think I have the time...

Struggling with this one - mostly because my day job has been quite busy

I have a basic idea, a few words in my notebook, and a few hours this evening to come up with something worthy
