This was me, today at one o’clock. Actually, probably more like ten a.m. See, I signed up for Fiction War (a flash fiction challenge) with all intentions of writing a story! Writing something! And using the $$ I shelled out as incentive to get it done. Sadly, that was money down the drain. One evening…
