Not sure why, but the comment I first posted is “awaiting moderation”. I’ll try again — I wrote a mythology piece based in the world I created for a previous challenge in “Done Deal”. Enjoy!

https://katethesape.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/over-the-writers-block-and-into-the-bare-souls-new-flash-fiction/ I tried posting this using my WordPress account but entries say they’re “awaiting moderation”. So I’ll try once more — this is a mythology piece I wrote to explore more of the world I created for another challenge in “Done Deal”. Enjoy!

I got the same thing. . .I try and moderate myself but I usually can managed to sneak around myself when I am not looking and get away with things so. . . I can understand the need to be moderated.
