Drown a Hero (#FiftyWords)

You may not have been inspired, but it was a well-done little story that made me appreciate Charles. :)

We were waiting for your post!! The adoption only lasts one week. Take advantage of it!!

Yeah, I mean. Charles was a nice guy, we should be more like him. It's just that I wasn't feeling it, you know? Writing-wise :( (sad optimistic face)

#freewrite #freewrite #freewrite

Oh, I know exactly what you mean! :) I'm grateful there are so many different challenges here on Steemit, because sometimes the ones you get used to doing just don't inspire you.

You should have a look at the #365daysofwriting challenge - there's a photo prompt every day and you just write whatever comes to mind. Some of mine have turned into poems, fiftyword stories, freewrites, and the rare short story chapter.

You already know #fiftywords and the #freewrite ... do you like haiku? There's a couple of haiku contests/challenges around! There's also a few ongoing short-story contests. #tellastorytome, #finishthestory, #twentyfourhourshortstory ... there were a few more but they're on a break at the moment.

Those are just off the top of my head. :) Just thought I'd let you know about them in case one of them inspires you! Some of them may be contests, but I prefer to think of them as brain-material to actually post something, hehe. Added bonus of possibly winning something! :D

Great job, @deigoam. In a few words there is a great deal of multiple perspectives/panoramic view here. Heroic deeds that end in tragedy are always bitter-sweet

Hi @deigoam. Please be sure to add a link to your short story to the contest post. I almost missed it! :-)

This is terrific. Very sad, and very poignant. But really nicely done. It has a dreamlike quality, and is both tragic and happy at the same time.

Wonderful little story. Sad and tragic, yet powerful. I found this through @jayna's highlights. I must have missed it on the list last week. I usually try to visit all/most of the entries which are uploaded via Steemit

And I totally appreciate that you do that, @ablaze! You are a model Fifty Worder and community member.

Hello! I didn't reply with the link because I wasn't so sure about the story I had written. Anyway, it's good to know you liked it! By the way, sorry for replying so late I'm still getting use to tracking comments and replies.

Hello! First I want to apologize for replying so late I'm still getting used to tracking the replies I get. Thanks for letting me know about those brain-materials! Much appreciated.

regarding the Haikus... I know what they are but I haven't tried writing one in spanish so I really don't know how it would turn out in english.

You really think so? I honestly wasn't that proud about the story but I'm glad that the good people of the #FiftyWords community enjoyed it!

Hello! I'm still getting used to tracking the replies. I know I didn't take full advantage of the adoptme week but I wasn't feeling that inspired to write and I don't like posting stuff I don't devote time to. Hope you can understand. I'm still grateful for the community around the creative writing, so, thanks for everything!

To be honest... I didn't like it that much, I didn't feel that warm sensation of joy after putting the final dot. But I'm glad you enjoyed it!

No worries. Hope it helped. And for not feeling inspired - that is what we have the daily prompt for :)

No worries, @deigoam, and I hope you don't me that I found and listed your story. It's not uncommon for people to forget to link their story in the post comments, so I try to remember to check for the tag each week for any stragglers.

Thank you :o)

Ya, I really think so. It was a great little story, which I enjoyed. Your character died, yes, but he died a hero saving those kids..
