All right, folks, we go out with a bang this week with three really beautifully-done entries from Amy Carey, Laura Eno, and Sean O’Mordha. These authors left me with quite little do do, edit-wise. Please give them a round of applause!

And please remember to make your complimentary comments. Give what you hope to get.

I want to thank everyone who participated this month. It was a lot of fun working on your hooks, and I sincerely appreciate the courage it took to put your stuff out there to be edited in public. Writers are such sensitive creatures and, in a perfect world, would be accorded the kind of respect and care it takes to facilitate digging into the deeps like this. Failing that, I hope the encouragement and compliments you get here help inspire you to keep digging.

The world is your oyster, folks. Dive for the pearl.
