I sent mine! I liked the story at least. Hopefully it isn't really bad in comparison to the other chapters.

Congratulations! I was keeping your soul in a pickle jar so it is now very well preserved.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
I'm not done yet. I'll make sure to have a draft to throw at you tomorrow though. For now I'm off to do naughty things.

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

i am very concerned about the status of my soul

well, not me, specifically, but my wife seems to be getting upset that i no longer sleep and the walls in our house scream and bleed when i enter a room

An observation: Almost everyone who has emailed me their chapter has included something about how it's probably not good or it needs work, except then I read them and they're extremely good first drafts, especially for a writing process that's essentially "blind." Self Esteem ain't just a guy who lives by the river in Egypt, guys!

You rock!

While I had your soul, I took the opportunity to teach it how to tap-dance. I return it to you now, fleet-footed and fancy-free.

I actually never took your soul, so I can't return it. It was there all along. I just did the "I got your nose" thing, but with your soul, and you fell for it, sucker!

As your soul returns to you, you may hear a buzzing sound. That is the kazoo I won for it with skee-ball tickets. I also got it a spider ring, but it lost it.

Hmm, *opens grade book* Well, this is your first extension, so I guess I will allow it, Mr. Luvcow. My office hours are Tuesday and Thursday, 7-9pm, at the Coldstone Creamery, if you need any help or wish to get into my good graces.

:siren::siren::siren: HELP ME I NEED DIRECTION :siren::siren::siren:

I need to write about Margaret's Trials, but I have too many options and it's scary.

My ideas are:

- A tree or rock (or both???) give(s) her tasks to complete, because sometimes rocks and trees do that in fairy tales.

- She is rewarded with having stuff come out of her mouth when she talks, like in the "Diamonds and Toads" fairy tale.

What happens in the middle? What are her trials? I don't know! I need suggestions!
