RE: Before anyone else [BAE] - A posting contest - ENTRIES NOW CLOSED

in Weekend Experiences • 3 years ago

Hey there! I thought about sharing hubby's and my story because obviously, he is my BAE, but then thought to turn it into a short story (part I)
Hope it meets the theme 🤗

BTW - nice tunes EGGSTA, EdenMichelle!

It meets the theme and is very good indeed. Thanks for getting involved, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for reading my writing 😊

Of course, not just reading by judging. (not being judgemental, I have to judge, it's a competition!) Lol.

A great piece and very nicely constructed.

Yeah, I know it's a competition. But I don't enter your (or for that matter anyone else's competition) because there are $ to win, but because I knew I was going to have fun putting this together and hopefully 1 or 2 people actually read it, too and it made them smile a little.

Thank you for your kind words about my writing. Not being a writer I appreciate it a lot.

Yep, it's about the participation. I rarely enter contests on hive and when I do it's in support of it, not to win it. Like you. I appreciate it greatly you know, and your post is so heartwarming. So, danke.

P.s. I had a pen pal when I was in Primary school. Didn't marry her though. Your post made me think of it. Can't recall where she was from. Canadamadia? (I love spelling that countries' name wrong for some reason.) It was a school project thing. I think she was disappointed to get the kid with the funny name. Oh well, too bad her her.

Gern geschehen🙂.

It used to drive me crazy when I posted on my website's blog, this was back when I was still blogging there a lot and participating in 'blogging memes', I would put a lot of effort into the post, comment on other people's blogs, but there was zero reciprocation, no replying to posts or comments on their posts, nothing. I just kept wondering 'why do you people actually blog, ask questions, etc. when you are not interacting with your audience?'

Oh well - people... lowering expectations helps.

Pen-friends used to be a thing, not so much anymore with everything and everyone being connected in real-time. I'd say it was her loss to judge on a name.

I like that line:

People - Lowering expectations helps.

Could not agree more.
