4th Flash-Style Flash Fiction Battle
A Challenger for the Inaugural Winner
Greetings, Greetings, Greetings! Fellow word worms and pulse punchers!
There comes a moment in every writer’s life when the passions of their self-confidence is tested. Like a Page, who watches his Lord manage the household, who learns to hunt, to shoot, to protect themselves with a sword, but dreams of becoming a Knight one day themselves.
Writers evolve from careful readers into hesitant Squires. Once a writer becomes a Squire, the obstacles of writing become real. They have to master the 7 skills it takes to make compelling art from the manufacturing of words.
Voice, style, character, plot, pace, innovation, universality. These attributes make the timeless works that hold value as cultural artifacts long after the death of their authors.
A writer cannot be a smart reader forever in the same way a Squire must pass his dubbing to become the noble hero that protects his kingdom. His works, his stories, his emotions, his sinew of truth, the last self left after he becomes ashes.
A writer like a Knight must at one point stand alone. Face his demons. Conquer them and make them into a tool, of a tool.

See ya there, or be square!
man im not gonna lie, i can't stop watching this. i made this so quick. the text of the video explaining what happened and the details from the notes exchange is proof. I kinda wanna throw this shit up on youtube and see if i can get people from over there to watch this. the previous few days ive had irriation with myself that i got myself into this battle with this clown, cause i actually looked at him before and saw him talking cocky and wanted to challenge him but saw he had a low subscriber count and figured it wasn't worth it. But then he dissed a book like he was really that guy, using a post from a chick who didn't even read the book herself, who is a terrible writer, (he is at least better than her) and i was just finishing up 'I Gave You Spectacle,' a MonsterPiece over on SumFlux and I got caught slipping, battling somebody that really got nothing to lose. I gotta figure out a way to make this clown feel like he is losing something cause right now he thinkin its win, win. but either way, im no longer really mad anymore. dont get me wrong, im going to gather anger to decapitate him with spectacle but going into the battle i actually feel happy he inspired me to make this video. I feel like i already did him a solid making him part of this video. but i dont mind cause this is some good promotion and soon i will have his head in a jar.
Man I love this video. I keep watching it over and over again and thinking about how I am going to decapitate him.
