So, the Carrot Ranch Rodeo was with us through the month of October, and I think I took part in pretty much all of the contests, bar one.
Having received an honourable mention in the TUFFest Challenge, I was more than happy, and am really delighted to share the winners of this first contest, judged by His Geoffleship, Chelsea Owen and Esther Chilton.
The first contest was to write a 99-word piece in pure dialogue. Not an easy task, I have to say, but the honourable mentions and winners were really well deserved!
Click here to read the winners entries and a special mention to Sarah Brentyn who was awarded both second AND first place! The contests are blind judged too, so I think you can see the talent in this woman!
We had this photo as our fantastic prompt.
I do love His Geoffleship!
And here is my (non-winning) take!
“Whatcha looking at?”
“Mmmmnnmmnggrr.”
“Look, dear! He’s trying to say something to me!”
“Mmmmngghhrr!”
“Oh do be careful, Mr Tortoise. If you strain your neck too much, you might just do something to yourself.”
“Mmmnnnghrrr!”
“I do wonder what these animals are thinking. Is he just making random noises? Or is he trying to communicate with me?”
“Mmmmnnnngghrrrr!!! I AM trying to say something!”
“Geoff, dear, we need to move along now.”
“But…”
“Mmmmmnnnnnggghhh! No! Don’t go! For the first time I found a man with a neck to rival mine! I’ll even forgive you calling me a ‘he’!”
Hope you enjoyed my little mischief!
