Uh, just wondering, but would a letter fit the formal prose setting, or would I have to be somewhat disconin with it?

A weird post fact letter is rattling around in my head and I just want to make sure its okay.

As far as I understood writing a letter would fit the secondary.

Damn, I know exactly what I want to do, but I have no artistic ability whatsoever when it comes to drawing.

What's the verdict on using assets from somewhere else and simply adding text?

Absolutely.

Just cite sources, I guess.

Jiminy Christmas this is difficult. I am not as writing-fit and vigorous as I was hoping.

I hear ya! I'm stuck. I wrote something and trashed it. Now I did something else that is just plain stupid. But damn it I created it and I will post it for the f of it.

*insert really long chain of swear words here*

Not gonna be able to write the story I had planned for this. Too much other stuff that needs organizing and planning, plus I have yet to finish another story with somewhat higher priority :(
Another idea I have to shelf for a later time...

All part of my diabolical plan to increase my chances of winning by making challenge topics and objectives so onerous that no one else can participate.

Mua ha ha ha ha!

Now no one will vote for me out of spite. I did this to myself.

I like this challenge already. Is Cory the same cat as your avatar?

haha cory is my friend's cat. Mags (Magenta) is mine. I had this idea to make a comic strip and I found an app that turns pictures into cartoon images. But it just wasn't coming out the way I wanted. So then I played with the fact that texts are made up words. idk

Is Cory a tom, or am I just sexist for associating that name with males? 'Cause male calicoes are like... blue lobsters in their scarcity.
