My 100-word story, “Uncatitional Love,” was one of nine winners at the Writer Advice Flash Micro Contest. I won $30, which is quite extraordinary!
This story was inspired by all the cats who have ever been part of my life. My story is listed first of the nine when you go into the link, but enjoy some of the others while you’re in there. Image is from Pexels, not one of my cats.
I’ve been very migrainatious for the past week or more, so I didn’t participate in #TankaTuesday last week. Not sure if I will this week or not as it depends how I am feeling. So we will see . . . .
I commented on Facebook first—love the story. And sorry about the migraines… 🙁
Thank you and thank you! yeah, this migraine is getting really OLD.
🙁
Congratulations, Luanne. $30.00? Man nice job.
Thanks, John! Nice, huh?!
Yes indeed.
Just cater-ful! (I’m just now devouring “The Art of Brevity.”) May your migraines subside soon. . .
Oh, thank you, Joy!!! Is the book good? I do not think I’ve read that one, but probably should!
Hurray for the fun win. Boo, go away migraine!
Thank you, Carole, on both counts!!!!
Congratulations on your win, and hope the migraine relieves soon. I read the rest of the stories – what an eclectic mix!
Thanks, Gwen, about both the story and the migraine! Yes, all different sorts of stories!
Congratulations on your winning story, Luanne! I hope your migraines soon depart. They are the pits.
Ugh they are!!!! and I am drinking Gatorade because the electrolytes help, but now I’m getting fat from the Gatorade. Thank you, Liz!
You’re welcome, Luanne. Sometimes it seems we can’t win for losing!
So true. My grandma used to say that!
🙂
Fine job! Well done to you.
Thank you, Annette!
The story is lovely! So real and typically catty. Well done <3 I did enjoy reading the other stories too but yours is best 😀
I am so sorry about the migraine. I must whisper this in case I jinx it but… I haven't had a migraine since the end of October when I began taking high blood pressure tablets. I cannot think what the connection is but I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.
Aw that’s so sweet, Clare. Oh my. No, definitely don’t jinx it. That is really something. When I first started getting these vestibular migraines, my blood pressure was spiking. So there might be some kind of connection.
My goodness! There might be some connection indeed! I do hope you can get some relief soon <3
Thank you!
Ahw I read yours. Typical cat.😂
PS I hope you feel better!❤️
Thank you so!!!
lol yes!!!
Sorry about your migraine. I know how terrible they can be. But big congrats on the win. That’s a real feather in your “cat.”
Hahaha. They better not eat any feathers!!! Thanks, Anneli.
No, they’d better not.
Big congrats, Luanne!
Thank you, Cynthia!
Great story, but what we all want to know is … what will you buy first with those $30!!!
Lol. Taco Bell for two???
Yessss!
Congratulations to be the #1 winner, Luanne! Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well! Please take your time to rest. We’ll see you soon. <3
Thank you, Miriam. All nine are winners! Thank you for saying that about resting. It is what I need. XO
You’re welcome, Luanne. I know the bed edge doesn’t work for you. It works for me so far so I’ll get my rest of the night.
Congratulations, Luanne. Those last two short sentences are so telling 🙂 May your migraine desist soon
Thank you!! And thank you, Derrick!
Congrats! I love it. Nothing special like the love of a cat! They are quite particular.
Sooo special. And this one forgot he was mad. Then remembered belatedly. Hahahaha.
funny!
Love the story. Congratulations, Luanne. I hope you feel better soon! 💙
Thank you on both counts!
You’re welcome!
I love it! So true, so beautifully revealed. 😺
Aw thanks!
Love the story!!! I hope you feel better soon! 🙂
Thank you so much, Linda!
The story is perfect, Luanne! Congratulations on another well deserved recognition!!
So sorry about your migraine – T used to have them in the past, but (knock on wood) hasn’t had one lately!
Please take care of yourself – sounds like too much stress! Hope it’s not from grandbaby!!
Thank you, Sheila. Oh, I hope she never gets another! Yeah stress and overdoing it and the weather. I had this happen a few springs ago. Just ugh.
Sorry to hear about the migraines. Hope you’re better now. Enjoyed the story and a few of the others. Yours the best, of course!
Aw thanks, Eilene!
Congratulations Luanne, just when I was thinking that cat was far too forgiving, you showed me 🙂
LOLOL! Exactly!!!!
