Thank you very much for all the feedback and constructive criticism. I'll consider them carefully as I develop this story further, and in any future stories I may work on. This is my first writeoff and it has been quite the learning experience.

To be honest, when I started developing the idea I had for the prompt, I'd totally underestimated how long the story was going to be. When the deadline neared, I rushed an ending just to submit something on time. I don't regret it, but I wasn't very happy with it either. Hopefully I'll do better the next time I participate.

Again, thanks very much for taking the time to read and review my story. :)

Whew! I submitted a thing but it's not quite the story I wanted in the end. I had to throw away a lot of interesting stuff I had planned, change courses about three or four times, and haphazardly tape them all together with... tape. All just so I could finish something before the deadline. I don't know how good it is, but I'm just glad to have finished something. If all else fails, I could probably continue working on it some other time and make it closer to what I had originally planned.

This past couple days, I think I have written more than I have ever before, but I'm still far from done and I'm not sure if I'll make it on time. I really want to make it on time though, because I believe in my story.

I decided to try writing something this round (it's my first time doing so). I hope I can finish in time for the deadline...
