RE: Fiftywords: Broken By Avalanche
I'm like that too by the way...
note to self: I've got to remember to check for mentions more often. I don't do it enough because I'm daunted by all the "everyone" tags
Which contest? I think I posted the link in fiftywo-- checks the announcement post Wait?! I FORGOT TO DO THAT?! Ouch...
No problem, I'm glad that I got three comments on it.
The only part I wasn't sure about is this:
I heard a retriever bark. "I will survive this storm."
I'm not native English so I wasn't sure if retriever is the name of* one of the dog types that are used to rescue, and I wasn't sure if that's how a native writer would write it. What do you think?
That is a good question, as to whether retrievers are official rescue dogs. I would have to research it. I think the popular lore used to be that it was St. Bernards, but I’m pretty sure there is any truth to it, particularly in modern times. The way you wrote it is fine. You did great!
Thanks a lot.
