    Thanks for doing this. I don't get to participate every week either, but it's nice to see what other people come up with.

    Ditching the plodding, clumsy story I've been trying to pinch off all week. Got what I'm hoping is a pretty good idea at the 11th hour. Hope to post tonight, certainly by tomorrow.

    Been away for a while. I missed Output 7 but am hoping there will be an Output 8.

    Do you think it would make sense to do this monthly and bump up the word count allowance?

    I just haven't been participating because I've been swamped with school and life. I'm enjoying the flash fiction requirement. I'm willing to do what others want to do, but I would like to still keep it relatively short.

    But you can produce flash fiction if you want. You don't have to write to the max. word count.

    I'm just wondering if a monthly "issue" would be more conducive to producing something more regularly (and more polished).

    I like that idea, I'm almost finished plotto 7. It been difficult to think lately.

    Hi Baraka .... I've only got another 300 words to do for Plotto 7 ..... please forgive my tardiness with the deadline .... the last 10 days, however has been kind of life-changing shakeup ... been building up for the last few months and somehow has thrown me to the four winds this last week ... so please forgive me ... I've hardly been able to write anything except poetry.

    I like once per week ... I've been getting into a rhythm. ... Only got another '44' episodes to do, and I'll have another 50 000 word novel! How's about if people who want to do it monthly are welcome to do so ... to 'drop in', but once a week remain the stable foundation?

    Your weekly Plotto is an important part of my week.

    :)

    I'm certaily partial to the weekly installments. I think I'd stagnate if we cut back to monthly. And I can't wait that long between Zen's offerings!

    Just now caught my typo. Certainly. I'm not sure what 'certaily' means. Stupid flaming keyboard.

    I may not make the allotted deadline, but I finally came up with a passable idea. Here's hoping it works as well as it seems in my head and that I can crank it out.
