Haha ... some times it's hard to get inspired... you did a great job expressing your writing process. Good flash fiction composition and presentation.
Well done!

Comment from evilynne
That is funny and quite well written. A limit of fifty words is tough. I didn't even attempt that this time. I'm sorry that I have no sixers to award your imaginative written words. Best of luck in the contest! Evi

Comment from Brenda Strauser
Hi, what a neat idea. It is hard enough to write a story with 100 words. 50 words would be so hard. I can see why you wrote these words. Good job.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent entry for the Funny 50 Word Story contest. I see you entered this as a fiction piece. If I had my name on it I would have labeled it non-fiction for sure. So much truth in only 50 words and still brings a smile to the face. Good luck in the contest. thanks for sharing.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is very clever and, as you said in the title, well, you tried. Attempting to write a funny 50-word story is hard to fathom since I have never even entered such a difficult contest, but you have it your all, and for that, I commend you. This is excellently portrayed as a writer with a quill who has great difficulty coming up with what to write for a contest. The artwork enhances the worry of the writer and shows a quill against the backdrop of a blank piece of paper. This is written well and gives us, the readers, an insider's look into what it feels like to rush at the last minute to enter a contest. I admit I would never be so bold as to write this and share your true feelings about the hardship of coming up with something to write for a contest.

Thank you, Jesse, as you may know, I don't write much prose just yet, so enjoy these short attempts, you are so right, it is not the quills fault but that of the holder, not so much of a rush to write, but a subject/story, you are bold in more ways than many, stay well, as always very much appreciated****kahpot

Being bold is not always what it is cracked up to be. Many folks don't appreciate bold people. You honor me by saying I am more daring than many. I understand you, my friend.
I am well, I hope you are, too.

Comment from Wendy G
Well done. I like the smirk on the face of that quill, knowing that there is no ink, and that time is almost up. You made me smile. Sending best wishes for the contest.

Comment from CrystieCookie999
This is the a story about the process of trying to write. The phrase 'the well is dry' seems to indicate writer's block, which happens to all of us. There is personification in saying the quill pen 'eyes me with a smirk.' Nice share.

Ha ha ha, you can't say much in 50 words, but you managed to bring a smile here as your pen ran out of ink at the end and you stuck to the committee's rules, a fun post, love Dolly x

Comment from lyenochka
Yes, I agree that it's hard to write a fifty-word story but people do it. It's almost enough words to tell a joke and I see that you have fun with this prompt. Hope you join us with the Flash Club for practice!
My quill, eyes me with a smirk, (no comma after 'quill' as it is the subject of the verb 'eyes')

Thank you very much, I do try, I had a go at the shark and octopus, but kept getting lost, I do have fun, just get frustrated sometimes,
I will get there, as always very much appreciated****kahpot
-
Aww. I checked to see if you added that story to the club but couldn't find it. I guess you didn't post it. The good thing about the club is that it's just practice for all of us. And there's no word limit!

Sorry, no, I still have it in note book, working on it, just want to be happy with it, because I know if I'm not no one else will be, I think reading others is my research
Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
Kahpot,
This is a wonderful 50 word flash story. It is short and sweet and tells a complete story. That is very impressive as I don't think I could do it.
Well done
