Project complete. Flash fiction contest entry is written, edited, and ready for submission.

I am experimenting with dictation to maximize my writing time and leverage my commute to and from the "day job". It was awkward at first, but gets easier if I don't overthink it or stress over how it sounds. It's definitely that shitty first draft most of us are used to. I'll need to edit a good bit, but the bones are there. Hope to finish this project tomorrow and get back to my novel!
