RE: 31SentenceContest Round 11 – Oivas’ Entry
Just being a gentleman... Hahahah... I like the concept of your contest. Never ever have I come across one of similar nature. So, thanks for that! :)

It took me a while to finally sit down and do it myself, about 8 years a while. 8-)
I'm glad I did sit down and give it a shot. The first time was tough. When I started this contest, @free-reign was one of the first writers. I asked him how he did it and he said that he guessed the sentence length and moved on, coming back later to fix the errors. I was, before doing this myself, counting out every word before moving on. This took far more time and was fairly difficult because any flow that I would gain might be gone with the next sentence.
So true. You would be hard pressed to find a contest like this one.
Yeah, the contest is about discipline. If you get on with correcting the numbers, you may lose the flow of the story. If you, however, do a free write then you may have to do heavy editing at the end of the story. So, mix and balance of both. It takes time, but it is fun.
