Of course, facts don't necessarily preclude the use of adjectives, but... well, you know what I mean. I think. I hope <i>I</i> know what I mean. LOL Good challenge, Gessy! Yep! Just the facts, Ma’am. That’s the way I’m going with it. Of course, facts don’t necessarily preclude the use of adjectives, but… well, you know what I mean. I think. I hope I know what I mean. LOL

Good challenge, Gessy!

I think Gessy has hit on the secret, though. Think Hemingway, or anything journalistic! That's what I'm going to be trying, anyway. “It was night” can still sound pretty dramatic, if used correctly, though. I think Gessy has hit on the secret, though.

It's kind of tough, but I like the idea. As to the deadline, I think we should try to stick to it, but if it happens that we don't manage to, maybe we could extend it a few days. And who should be the November suggester? Good challenge… It’s kind of tough, but I like the idea.

As to the deadline, I think we should try to stick to it, but if it happens that we don’t manage to, maybe we could extend it a few days.
