To all those writers who just want to trash the whole story/book and bash their computers: Don't give up. Keep trying. You'll get it.

Where the Sidewalk Ends (the story) - Part 2
Note: This is part two, please click on the link below if you would like to read the first part. Thank you! Bowden leans back on the rickety stool he’s been sitting on for the past hour and stretches his cramped muscles. This part of his daily routine was his least favourite.

Interesting concept
Quite an inventive way to tell the story! Though leaving much to the reader's imagination, it's not hard to cull from context what must have ended up on the BBQ! Well-wrought!
Ohhh! I thought he was gonna set himself on fire! Then I saw the picture! Lol! Lays potato chips got my mouth watering 🤤🤤🤤
Haha hilarious list.
btw; StepMom - Would that be Decaf? - 'j'
Thanks for making me laugh out loud this morning! Loved this.
Hehehe this reminds me of Paul in Misery (book and movie) when he has to burn the book he’s just finished! “(2) Boxes bulk erasers”.. haha. 😅😂 I liked that they were handwriting it first as I ‘usually’ always handwrite my little pieces first on vocal.. just easier for my brain somehow. Old habits die hard I suppose. Thanks for shout out too M Combs! These list ideas are crazy but entertaining. 😄
