Comment from Liz O'Neill
This makes me want to immediately tell you about my favorite singer. Grace VanderWaal. She sings a song called Darkness Keeps Chasing Me. I can't give you the link because they don't allow us to give links on here, but if you go on YouTube you'll be able to find it. She may have been 15 when she wrote this. She's clearly an old soul and must remember stuff from past lives. Well expressed.

Are reviews slower these days? I had not noticed. I must admit, I have never resorted to sitting up all night for reviews, although I have got up extra early in the morning. I wish you good luck in the contest.

Thank you for the great review, Pat. I was really just over exaggerating, being silly for the contest. I really appreciate the generous stars and good luck wishes. I'm glad you liked the piece.

You're welcome. I did tell a fib. I used to get up in the night when I had insomnia.

Hahaha. We all have.
Comment from Tom Horonzy
Do I sense you expressing frustration sardonically. I feel similarly as you do, for even now, The graveyard has but two reviews, and I feel those who get read pay for others input, and even I will read and not post a review for two cents too often, but only after reading the submission even if only partially. The winners normally are in a clique of friends that have been posting forever. They can afford to promote their works for their spending are from a win-place or show.

Thank you for the great review, Tom. Yeah, I rarely even bother with promoting anymore. Once in a while I do but not too often. I sure can't afford to get my stuff all the way to the front page like a lot of these people do. I'm only on here for the contests and once in a while it actually flies. Lol. Glad to see you're closer to the top now. Yes, I was just poking some fun at these folks again. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have a good one, friend.
Comment from thoughtgame2
I really liked the truthfulness of this write,especially the part about the two free reviews. I to am guilty of that part. I guess were not alone in that mode of thinking. Thank you for pointing that out. Just keep writing and when you can help fan story help you become exposed,by paying for a few reviews your self just do so. Or you can review others work and fan story will pay you the coin needed to pay for your reviews? Not a bad gig. And it encourages people like you and I to continue. See you soon...keep writing.

Thank you for the fantastic review, ThoughtG2. I really appreciate the generous stars. I was really just goofing around with the prompt. I don't sit around waiting for those first two reviews anymore. They'll come whenever they come. Lol. Have yourself a great night, friend, and thanks again.
Comment from Paul Manton
A very clever if acerbic take on this writing prompt - but we've all been there! I thought I was a sad case, but this is even worse than me. When I post and edit, and edit, and edit - and find the system has another glitch - and sort it out, I close the lid and go to bed! But, alas, 2.40am is not unknown.
An experience known to the obsessives who are probably at the foundation of this site. We are the lost and pitiful!
Thanks for the tongue in cheek piece. I really enjoyed it.

Haha. Thank you for the fantastic review, Paul. I just happened to be up at the time and a few drinks in and figured why not? I really appreciate the generous stars, friend. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Yes, some are actually this addicted to this site. I just had to make fun of it. Lol. Have yourself a great night and thanks again.

You are welcome, mysterious and talented one.
Comment from Navada
What an interesting take on the addictive nature of this site! I wonder how many other readers will be able to relate, at least in part, to this experience? I'll confess - I can. I've been guilty of checking my computer at strange hours of the night for updates. Well pegged!

Lol. Yes, we all do it. I just like over exaggerating it sometimes. Ha. Thank you for the great review and generous stars, Navada. I'm glad you liked this silly piece.
