"Bad Choice" an original fictional tale in #fiftywords for the #365daysofwriting challenge

Ewww...You broke my romantic heart on this one and had me wincing. :*-( Cannot upvote as I need to “recharge” or something or rather, so my vote counts apparently — no idea what I’m talking about. But just as well I can’t vote because this one pains me to read literally! Anyway, it’s so vivid, it deserves a comment. I’ll save a vote for you when your characters are not spitting out their front tooth!! Ouch...

Ahhh, @linnyplant, sorry to leave you wincing!^*

Omg...I just checked this steemnow thingy, I can rest for an eternity and my upvote will still be meaningless. Lol.

LOL! It takes a while to build it up! Especially with the market as it is. But evenually your vote could be worth up to 7cents! ;) My maximum was 16 cents a few weeks ago, but the market has fallen, so now it is around 7. You'll get there! Comments are gold dust, though! :)

This steemit is half educational/half fun. I’ve always loved commenting on people’s content and reading about people’s thoughts and pieces of themselves they reveal. I just got bored of Facebook content. Really appreciate you pointing it out. It’s forcing me to read a bit about the technology, even though it’s not the fun part for me. It feels like a game, but it’s a shame I can’t give people useful votes. It looks like I’m going to be forced to post something. It’s just odd posting to what feels like a void mostly. So we’ll see.

Why don't you have a go at the daily Freewrites? It is great fun, and good to do a bit of writing everyday (even if it is rubbish - not saying that you would write rubbish). It can be fiction or just whatever comes into your head - lots of people talk about 'real' stuff in their freewrites (have a read of other people's stuff). It is a good way to interact with some nice people too. No one judges, and they are nice and supportive. Posting the link on the freewrite post means that you won't be posting into the void, some people will check out what you write.

Anyway, I check the void every now and again, so if I see anything floating about in there I'll try to give it a push towards the surface. :)

Typical you, being so helpful. I did give the freewrite a go, but I like to link it all back to my project. I’m singularly focused. I started on the “Nothing” and now I’m fleshing out the scene. At this rate, I’ll never be able to post anything. :-\ Maybe I’ll just post them as snippets anyway. Again, we’ll see.
