RE: Finish the Story Contest - WEEK #34!
Yes, I went over the word count quite a bit in this one so ... ya. It was fun to write. I'll take my lashing with pride and honor. haha

Sometimes you just have to let your pen run happily 😉
I really do my best to respect the 500-word limit. I've seen that sometimes you're relaxed on that but if we all do it every week, that limit might become an absolute. 8-)
That's in fact provided as an idea of being brief and focused on the substance, more than a number per se. Let's say that, in the evaluation criteria, a 650 words ending has still a chance to win but proportionally the extra content needs a solid reason to be there. In general, unless I find an exceptional content, it's more a malus than a bonus in the contest perspective.. another thing is if you just feel like going with the flow, which is good since the most important thing is to inspire each other ✌️
Thanks. I’ll keep this in mind for my future writes.
It may sound a bit convoluted but It makes sense (I hope!).
