Will you join?
  I'd love to!
  Of course not, I'd much rather sit over here in the corner by myself.
  What? Contest? Sorry, I was too busy being distracted by the gold I'll get from this poll to hear you.
  Cheese!
  All of the above. (Wait, what?)

Yes! Do it! That would be awesome. <3

I'll try and get something written this weekend. If I don't manage, I could be pushing it a bit since I have an assignment to work on next week (and I want it done before Valentine's, too, haha). We'll see though. I'll try my best!

I guess it doesn't have to be a long piece. I'm sure I'll manage something. :3

Mkay, working on it! XD

Yay! Looking forward to it!

Length doesn't always have anything to do with quality. ^_^

Nope, indeed it doesn't. =D I guess I just have trouble finding something with a small enough plot, these days. I'm so used to writing longer pieces of fiction that fitting everything I want to say into one or two thousand words is really difficult. XP

I can understand that. Stephen King even wrote a thing about that in the intro to one of his short story collections, and how it's not like riding a bicycle- you will forget how to do it once you get out of the habit. Still, a novel is a bit more impressive than a short story, at least to me. ^^ It means that you can stick with and focus on one for a long amount of time, which is pretty hard to do.

Yeah, that's definitely what's happening to me. I guess I just can't get my head around wrapping up plots in such a short space of time.

I'm working on one for Desert's contest right now, since that deadline is first, and hopefully writing that will help me get back into the swing of things and I'll be able to grasp a decent idea for this one, since my original idea has kind of fallen through. :]

At the risk of sounding repetitive, I'm looking forward to it! XD Good luck with both of them!

Gosh, I'm so sorry! I've been so busy recently. D= I hope I can find the time to write!

No worries, at least you actually have a reason. I have time but no motivation to write anything. Which is starting to creep me out. xp
