That's why I've never attempted more than one, let alone three, Wordzzles in one week. There are almost always three or four words that I can't imagine fitting into a story, but then, somehow, I almost always manage to find a way to use them. But if I had to do three, that would never happen.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105598015852813723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-7365748611566415352009-09-06T02:21:21.498-04:002009-09-06T02:21:21.498-04:00I thought the mega story went rather well.

The other two stories, about the woman who kept busy trying not to think about the upcoming [dental] surgery, and the painter who found that living in Florida helped his creativity, were also good.<br /><br />I have my own stories up now.<br /><br />Stephen from Scottsdale, Arizona, USA<br />http://stephen-has-spoken.blogspot.com/Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652404381086061102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-29084605419313929452009-09-06T00:54:34.996-04:002009-09-06T00:54:34.996-04:00I've been Martha Jane this week.

Found one, was more at ease than I had ever been in a DDS office and it's going to be fixed quite easily.<br />I always love reading your gimmick ones. So wonderfully tongue and cheek at yourself. It takes just as much talent to do it this way!Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178161514195582965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-87498794633753639222009-09-05T23:14:22.233-04:002009-09-05T23:14:22.233-04:00Argent - thanks for the words.

This week's words were the easiest in three weeks. There were only 17 words in the fifteen words not 29 like last week. We would never be critical of her. Well OK! we do complain a bit but it is really hard to write a 55 word story when you start with 29 words that must be included.<br />When you let her out of the closet tell her how thankful we dragons are that she does this every week.Fandangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09256198358069576958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-44730382345613927802009-09-05T11:32:52.891-04:002009-09-05T11:32:52.891-04:00I had big problems with the telephone pole but I m...I had big problems with the telephone pole but I managed to squeeze it in at last.

It was very creative.<br />The last one -well it was funny.<br />So in tribute :I hope a drunk ,charitable, alligator on a lark leaves you some mountainside, slave harvested organic carrots untouched by propellers in preparation for next week's words. When those who worship your words and never chisel will again contemplate suicide plus pulling out their hair as they try to write a wordzzlle with those unrelated words.Dr.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752941912945095736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-28322548886376424472009-09-05T04:00:13.983-04:002009-09-05T04:00:13.983-04:00Raven , every week I come and I stare at the words...Raven , every week I come and I stare at the words and I get nothing.

I wish Martha Jane could have come to my house that day, I could use some help tidying up!<br /><br />I love have you disponsed of singularity (which was a tricky word for me) in your mini - and caterpillars.<br /><br />Your mega had me laughing out loud. I am actually up at 05:00 here in the UK as I have just dealt with a callout for our computer system. My eyes have shadows under them too now so I thought I'd reward myself by looking in and I'm glad I did!<br /><br />Just put mine up (apologies for the length of them this week)Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532506690426639326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-6261809270586881192009-09-04T20:26:53.345-04:002009-09-04T20:26:53.345-04:00I don't know how you continue to come up with ...I don't know how you continue to come up with a credible story line.
