Darn - just sent my email and then read down the thread - didn’t have my username in the email. I’ll do it again if there is a glitch and will definitely include my username with the entry. ---

Thanks for organising this, **Le Ministre** , and glad I could participate in this one. It’s a complex process but, like I said last time, you’ve devised a very clever system for running it. ---

Just sent mine in—can’t wait to read them all! I really like the words this time—easy yet inspiring, and I bet the narrative range will be really wide. ---

**AppallingGael** , **Pandoranoid** - got both of yours. Outstanding! Seven and a half hours left to go. I may be later than 5 PM PDT in starting the anthology, but I’ll have the poll cooked up for 6 PM; please don’t panic. These silly real-life rehearsals get in the way sometimes… ---

Got mine in, just under the wire. My battery died with about 10 minutes to do. I was almost done and was trying to get it submitted before the battery died. So I had to rush around, searching for my power cord, plug it in, get it re-started, the poem re-loaded, write the last line or two and e-mail it… I had one minute to spare. Phew! I will always plug my laptop in before doing another poetry sweatshop! ---

Ah … I missed it. We were hosting a sleepover for my daughter’s birthday this weekend and I just never found a spare hour to do it. I’m looking forward to seeing other people’s work though. ---
