Thanks again Dragon for picking my story. It may have been something out of a horror story. Well as luck would have it, it seems Halloween is right around the corner so I think a Halloween theme word list is needed. |

Good list, Doug. One teacher wouldn't let us count a, and, or the. Do you? |

All words count. I'll copy and paste your stories into "word" to get a word count from the actual story and title unless you specify "not including title". I love this writing part of Thinkdraw! I haven't written in years, but I used to be quite the writer in my younger years. Yes, I was writing dark and stormy things then too. Good luck with the list. I can see a lot of good stories. They don't have to be Halloween type stories either, any will do. The word count may seem to give a lot more lattitude, but it still takes intense editing to make a "great" story and that's what I'm looking for from the next torchbearer. |

Wow. I'll have to do this later. I love writing, but I'm not a morning person. I could totally get my scare on. Nein, I won't be too scary. But maybe I look to scare some kinder! |

giraffe: A very menacing well spun tale. I got a 364 count w/o title so we'll call it 365. Close enough for me. I think it is an outstanding start to our Halloween ThinkWrite spectacular! The songs were very age appropriate and how she really didn't understand what she was actually singing about made the story more disturbing and delightful at the same time. A job well done. |

Not bad. At the end there is a bunch of short sentences. It's becuase I was running out of words. |

Very entertaining, Maddy. I liked the short sentences - like someone in a snit - thinking. |

Nice, Mouse. I especially liked the cell phone. Maybe they irritate spirits as much as they bother a lot of people - At least they were nice and gave it back. LOL |

maddyjean: I'm sorry but that story was a mess. It really was a hornets nest of misspellings, grammatical errors, and sentences that really didn't go anywhere. I know you're young so keep trying. Take one thought and expand on it instead of trying to fit everything into one story. You could even break it down into different stories, each with the correct word count. |

Doug, thanks for the comments, I can certainly use all the help I can get, I will try to follow your advise. This is really my first adventure into writing ( outside high school many odd years ago LOL) |

I write off the top of my head. If I'm writing a sad story I can be quite poetic. I'm beautiful writing sentences that describe sadness. |
