Comment from Wayne Fowler
Good concept as a writing prompt/contest.
Personally, I loathe and despise reading cliche's by published authors. They should be creative enough to be original.
Bets wishes and good luck with responses.

I totally agree with you. No excuse for it!!
Thanks for the nice review, Wayne. I appreciate it.
Comment from Fleedleflump
Lol, it's a shame this won't count for the voting because it gave me a chuckle and I think it's very clever. You can edit your contest instructions if you want to from the page, although it's obviously a bit unfair if it's already been around for a while.

Is that true?! I had no idea!! Thanks for making me smarter for next time. I'll chalk this up to "Expensive, But Important Lesson Learned." And thanks for the compliment!!

Hello fellow writer/poet a good day to you. I hope this review finds you well. As a poet/writer it is always interesting to see the different takes on these contest/writing prompts. I think your take is definitely a good one. Good job and good luck in the contest.

Ah yes Rachelle. It's much clearer now to me. I was setting off on a full story... I will think again, but this is usually how I start thinking about monostiches, so I'm not certain I'll want to use one up for this. We'll see. Kate xx

I understand, for sure. Thanks for considering it, though.
Miss Merri was the friend who suggested I put an example out there, and was she ever wise. So many members have written to say they appreciated the extra clarification.

I like your cliche line. It is true that it says it all. It is all that it has to say. Excellent work! No grammatical errors. It is interesting and entertaining to read. Thank you for sharing! Good luck!

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Thanks for taking the time, as it was a little confusing. I thought you had to write an entire story centered around the new cliche.
Your example is cute, and I receive a member dollar for reading it. Win, win!!

Yes, after MissMerri private messaged me with that same sentiment, I heeded her advice at once. (She's so smart. I always listen to every single thing she says, that woman!)
Anyway, I'm glad it worked out so nicely for us BOTH!!! Good luck in the contest...and thanks for participating!

-Good artwork and great idea about
trying to help the contest entrants, Rachelle.
-Someone in the contest used the picture,
but we'll leave it at that!
-Is this supposed to be a
poetry entry or fiction or either?
-I like the cliche you chose and
the updated response to go with it.
-Well done!!

It can be anything. Just a quick little theme-and-variation on a cliche so that it's no longer a cliche but something new and fresh. Kind of looking for one-liners.
Thank Miss Merri for suggesting I write the further explanation. She's always so smart and savvy, that one!!

Thanks for replying and for sharing Miss Merri's suggestion.

Sure!!

I like the name of your contest and thanks for giving an example. Even not being a newbie, it's really tricky creating the contest and then finding out that you can't edit it after someone enters it. So I hope you have good participation!

Yes! You're so right. I'm going to file this under "lesson learned." Miss Merri was the one who suggested I do that, and she was so right! Next time, I'm going to have her edit my proposals before I put them into the irretrievable "Active" status!!

Hello Friend,
By calling yourself "newbie", you have exhibited your TALENT of winning any race, and ultimately the life's race!
It's an EXEMPLARY piece of Fiction meeting the REQUIRED norms, having lucid as well as PERFECTLY matching the theme phraseology, and TRANSPARENTLY depicting its theme.
Picture enhances depth and beauty of the theme.
BEST OF LUCK in the contest this time, and in times to come also!!!

I think it's such a good idea, I just reviewed one, it's quite a difficult thing to do, to write something original, I think we are all aiming to do that, one way or another, but words are endlessly changing, and I'm able to, if I don't think about, well done, great contest, blessings Roy

Miss Merri suggested I put out an example, and she was one hundred percent right. I'm chalking this up to: Important Lesson Learned the Hard Way!!
Always nice to hear from you, Roy.
