Big is beautiful … but less is more.
I am very grateful to @dwinblood, winner of last week’s contest (“Fool” ), who has provided the theme for this week.
An explanation from a judging perspective: pictures are important to a post’s presentation; formatting and the aesthetics of the page as a whole do really matter when writing blogs.
The judging criteria are, however, simpler:
Characterisation
Atmosphere
Surprise
Creativity
Composition
Linguistics
When someone writes that English is not his or her primary language, it is heard. Try to avoid them but, if there is a typo or an excess of words, it will be communicated. The organiser’s role is to assist you to enjoy the experience of writing your work as well as enjoying the works of others.
There are now several Short Story Groups who receive the winner’s post every week – and every week I receive very complimentary feedback. These are in addition to the standard Facebook, Twitter posts. So, thank you all and please write on!

Can it be under 100 words or exactly 100 only?
100 words - or less - prose or verse - and as many entries as you would like to submit!
Many thanks for asking.
Looking forward to your stories!
Let's try again.
