Not my Latest Minific

In the last Writeoff:

I wrote something that was more a promissory note than a story, a semi-parody of True Grit called "Shoe Grit" that was pretty much just a run through for some ideas that I want to explore at greater length when I get a chance later this year.

So instead of that, let me offer a semi-minific for this month: "A Giant Leap Forward," a story on a subject that's been bothering me for years. Since it isn't technically a Writeoff story, you'll find it over in the AugieDog section of things.

Awesome!
I did something similar a few contests ago… I'm now working on the actual story I wanted to tell, as opposed to the character voice check that I submitted to the writeoff. It's so different that I'm not sure if I should add the final product to the group's folder, since it's an 'inspired by' at best.

Oh, is that what Shoe Grit was meant to be. o.O I had no idea.

I've added:

A couple of stories to Writeoff folders that I didn't participate in the first time around. As long as I use the prompt and stick to the time and word limits, I figure I'm OK!

Yeah:

It needs more room to be everything I want it to be. I've got quite the pile of notes for it, but I've gotta finish my "magical squirrel" novel first...

Fair enough
Now that I think about it, what I'm writing will be an excellent use of the original prompt

Ooo now I'm very intrigued. I'll have to go take a look.
