Hi Challengeers.

Due to the lower number of entries for this topic, we'll only be showing the Top 30 overall, as well as the Top 8 in Level 1 and the Top 6 in Level 2. Even so, there were about six ties overall, so the Top 30 is more like the top 36.

There may have been a relatively small batch of entries for Phew, but what a great lot of writing.

Love, Deb

Congratulations to all! Haven't been writing this quarter at all, because of some stuff happening, and because I can't seem to capture these particular topics in my writing imagination. :? :? :? However, I've been reading a lot of the good entries, :book2 and hope to be back in the swing soon.

Great writing, both those who placed and many who didn't!!!

The view from the 11th seat of the bus is remarkably great. And, I'm honored to share it with Donna Emery. :mrgreen: Way to go, Donna.

I'm constantly amazed at the breadth and depth of the entries based on the theme of the challenge. Congratulations to all who submitted, placing or not, and shared your work - so many good writers and reads (some hidden jewels) to be found here at FW.

Thank you, judges.
