I had this problem for a while when on the Starbucks wifi.

Possibly there is something we can do. Can you view images on https://imgur.com/ - ? If you can, I will make a point to upload pictures there. Hmm... It could be a good way to advertise this contest.

#Love your photo prompt: HELP ME, technocracy, agenda, United Nations, Socratic Logic, Robot Workshop... science fiction and AIs trapped in little metal boxes (computers) always come to mind, for me. If the Muse pays me a visit, I hope she comes with more math assistance... numbers! Eeep!!

This was when I was more into conspiracies and the theories. Not so much at the current time. More into occult wisdom at the moment and playing games.

Tomorrow. I just started one. I have to give you a counting tip:

The first three lines of my story looked like this in my draft, which I am making in Word:

14, 10, 4, 29, 16, 12, 21, 20, 24, 8, 3, 13, 9, 15, 6, 25, 22, 26, 2, 31, 17, 30, 18, 7, 28, 1, 27, 19, 5, 11, 23
14, 10, 4,

The womyn waded as silently as possible into the pond in their back field.

The night was very dark, and the water very warm.

No one could see.

This saves me a TON of time. And it feels akin to freewriting, but sort of slow motion freewriting. I hope you give it a shot.

I think that was how I started last time, but we're talking math here. Thanks for the pointers! This time, I made it work. I even used Word Count to verify it. The 31-sentence limit may be the hardest part of all! How to finish a story with a beginning, middle, and end in that small space....
