Woof Contest Top Five

Yet again, it's nice to be recognised in the weekly PlotDog Press Woof Top Five writing posts for the week ending October 24th. Each week, posts on writing - either fiction or non-fiction - are nominated and voted upon by blogging peers. Therefore, it's always nice to be selected and be included in such company.

WOOF Contest – Top 5 Picks:

Poetry
Romeo - “The Natural World” - A short poem about nature and its beauty.
Jennifer M Scott - “Seeking Sun” - An avant garde poem about fall.

About Words / Writing
Kimota (Jonathan Crossfield) - “Time, Productivity and the Writer” - A look at how writing isn't necessarily as quick to produce as many outsiders believe. Taking three hours to produce 100 words might seem odd, but is perfectly legitimate to produce quality copy.

Fiction
Ferox - “Is that a Dragon?” - Things must be observed to exist. Otherwise, they can be anything.
~willow~ - “it's all a matter of perspective...” - ...where a young girl knocks a new perspective into an otherwise downcast boy on a bright autumn day...
