Sorry for the short notice. Let's try to get this group back up and running, shall we??

For those of you unfamilliar, the format is the same as always... Please bring something to share - around 5 pages double spaced. You don't have to bring something to come, we need readers as much as we need stuff to critique!

Writing Prompt:
“Alien tourism on Earth is on the decline. As you know, vacationing aliens generate over 30% of Earth's revenue! Therefore, we need friendlier people and more attractions like Area 51, Stonehenge, and Giza. Our economy will never recover at this rate!”
I challenge you to write a story in regards to the above quote. Good luck!

I attempted to write something. It's about a page long. I'm not sure how good it is though.

I just bought ink - printed my stuff for the writers group for about six weeks - used half the ink! Sheesh. Art, don't feel like a slacker!

I'm trying to do mine about one page, because there's something else I'd like to actually get down on paper as well for tomorrow. This prompt is just an idea, but I'm enjoying it so far. We'll see what ends up happening though. Hopefully I can find a working printer also.

James, yes it is. I started and what I thought would be a couple pages ended up being seven pages long instead. o_O But you can do it! I have faith in you.

Haven't started yet... wanted to, but haven't. Maybe tonight!! It's a tougher assignment than I thought at first glance!

I finished mine shortly after I asked if anyone else was doing it. Wondering if it will be too boring, but also worried about making it any longer of a story. lol. May you have better luck than I am/did.

I am! Had an idea at work today. Guess we'll just have to see how it turns out. ;)
