Oh, how adorable? And how did you manage those multi-colored letters? I tried many times, but if my letters come out blue, they all come blue. What is your secret? If you care to confide in me (lol). A great contender, good luck in the booths, this was original and refreshing.

yeltel Thanks so much. It's really quite easy. Use the advanced editor...highlight the letters or words you want and tag the color...next words, highlight and tag a new color, etc. Try it and let me know if you got it okay....Glad you enjoyed my little story. Take care Carol

reply by Eternal Muse on 05-Aug-2009

Carol, how do you TAG a color?

reply by the author on 05-Aug-2009

In the advanced editor you will see three boxes...

Font Size Format T X

next to the format box is a colored cube with a T...tag it and a color mat will come up and you can pick your color. The cube next to it is a color mat for background..like in poems, etc.

Hope this helps you...if not, talk to me again Carol

Oh my ! You captured the bloom of first love (or first hint of their being a sexual being hidden in the body of the tomboy :) ). Nice entry. Good luck with this one.

I love this simple progression,
so logical and magical. It's hard to
express a story in six words, but you've
done a good job with this story that most
of us can identify with on some level. Nice
work! Carolyn

You've met the requirements of the contest very well. I enjoyed this piece and can visualise a grub transforming into a beautiful butterfly (I think there's something wrong with my imagination). A good read.

Six words that says it all. I like the colors, and the picture is nice too. Ah the memories. 'Cept I don't think I ever morphed from tomboy. Good job.

How did we ever survive pubery and our teenage years? This is very well written, bringing back memories. There is excellent imagery and descriptive scheme. Good luck in your contest.

What an excellent six-word story! It had romance! It had humor! It had brevity! You've really captured the essence of (what I guessed was) a young woman discovering love, maybe for the first time? Well done, Begin Again. Good luck in your contest!

Moonlight kiss, tomboy morphs, love blossoms

Ahhh again Carol, this six worder just shows what a mistress of painting a word picture. So much said in just six words.
Good luck in the contest.
Hugs and blessings

Knowing more and more about you, I guess this is a true story, ha-ha. How amazing, you can write in only a second, it seems. Congratulations on your former contest, 200 words flash. (I told you it was good...)

Belinda Thank you so much for your kind review. Yes, this is a simple story about an awkward tomboy who excelled at beating the boys in baseball and football until that wonderful vacation on a Florida beach. Changed my life forever. I will always hold a special place in my heart for this young man. We remain friends many many years later. Carol

Aha! Sweet memories never die... And make you 'rich'.
