I have to admit - am struggling with this one. Had a plan then realised it was rant rather than rebellion. Not thr rebellious type I'm afraid - even my mother will back that up. Was a quiet baby and a quiet teenager.

No - I am rebelling against myself and determined to get more than one vote this time!!
That's the spirit! I sometimes find it hard to get going but if I make the effort I always enjoy the act of writing. It makes me realise how good an author needs to be to do that with a whole book!
OOh, OOh, I have one ... er, how do I send it?(Me thick new person)
Oh good.Yeah just click Ignite's name then the send message button.
Good on ya, CC!
Good oh. Got yours CC - 4 entries in - and you've got till Wednesday morning.
Four???C'mon people! It sounds like a wet weekend for most of you.
Write!
So in the space of a few days my odds have dropped from a 100% certainty to just 25%
Unless you've written all four?
Its ONLY 200 words ... I mean, what can go wrong???(Opens can of Dr Pepper)
I don't think we should encourage any more entries. Knowing I can finish no worse than fourth is a comfort.
You're taking advantage of the fact that I can't enter so I won't be below you in the rankings, BJ. :)
It may just be me being thick, or my very naive approach to life, but I don't see why you can't enter just because you are collecting the other entries. Go on - you know you want to!
Actually, I think it means I have an advantage in that I've seen what others have written - I certainly can't vote because to me they aren't anonymous.
Ah - so it could be an advantage being able to avoid all the mistakes the rest of us have tumbled into.
Well, at least I could choose a different angle!
You should have wrote yours before you saw the others Ignite.Oh well. Next time.
Ah, but you see, I'm so honest - I could SAY I'd written mine first - and lied in me teeth. But I can't!
Yeah but we all know you wouldn't do that.
Double entrendes in every thread.I approve. ;)
Wow. Don't think I've ever inspired anyone before!
Certainly. Like month old milk
OK, I'm going to write mine now. The muse hasn't exactly struck, more sort of smeared...
Good luck everyone who enters. Can't wait to read how you've tackled my prompt
Hi,I was wondering if it's possible to go over the word count ever so slightly? Mine is currently 214 words. Thanks.
That's near enough for jazz, I think. :)

I wanted to enter this but I may not have time any more :( Good luck to all entrants!
Holly has thrown away 11 words, you could start with those.
Haha, David! Right, anyone with spare words, please just message me and I'll assemble them for my entry! ;)

Don't worry, Holly. If I win, you can have any royalties I make from the contest! ;)

You wish...he he! ; )
Oh by the way, how long does the poll for this stay up for? Thanks.
Rebellion is free, so that's 12. I can spare a few "and"s and "the"s. I've got loads of them.
The poll's usually up for two weeks, I think! Or it could be one. No, I think it's two. I sound confident, don't I? It's at least a week, probably two!!Thanks, David. Who knew writing was this easy?! ;)
With enough contributors,imagine the novel we could write... Hold on, that's reminiscent of Shakespeare and typing monkeys.

(Quick, it is still on the 5 day free promo, but only just)
Sorry, with all that's been going on I never got mine in. Will be voting though.
I just read the start of this thread and I didn't realise there was voting on the entries!
