This year was my first time doing Write to Rank and wow was it fun! Really enjoyed the challenge. 
          
          My goals going in were two things: 1). complete all the rounds, and 2). Write pieces that are weird, out of the box, and unusual while still trying to adhere to the prompt. I can happily say I've completed both of these goals. 
          
          Did I walk the tightrope of mature? Absolutely. 
          Did I sometimes not follow the prompt or stray too far? Most certainly. 
          
          But I'm still really proud of the writing that came out of the challenge. Thanks so much to everyone who took a chance on my writing, left comments, or gave my work a read. It really made it a blast to see other's reactions and read other's entries.

For my W2R Round 8 piece I wrote a Hansel and Gretel retelling set in the world of Candy Land (the board game). Writing this one brought back so many fond memories of playing this game. Did anyone else play Candy Land as a kid?
