I'm a "Hall of Famer"!!!

The results are in for the first Answers.com Creative Writing Challenge, and I won an Honorable Mention!!! Yes, a link to this very blog is now located on the Answers.com Creative Writing Hall of Fame page! They even gave me a cool "Badge of Honor" that you will notice over in the right hand column.

Here is a link to the blog entry that is my story, entitled...
"A DARKER SHADE OF GREEN"

In case you missed it, the details for the Creative Writing Challenge was to write a creative & original submission that is less than 750 words and includes each of the following ten words or phrases with hyperlinks to the Answers.com entry for each one. The words for this particular challenge were:
  • quixotic
  • for all intents and purposes
  • melissophobia
  • yo-yo
  • perfunctory
  • brown recluse spider
  • abrogate
  • Belize
  • ubiquitous
  • quid pro quo

Nice story, Mr. Sparks!

I really liked how you were able to fit brown-recluse spider into the story. That one had me stumped. :)

I enjoyed the story. Maybe in the next Challenge you can work in a reference to MaNaZe - whether it is required or not. The public wants mor MaNaZe

I agree, MaNaZe needs to become more public. Also, you've inspired me to enter the next Challenge.
