These are some great thoughts. I especially like the way you said this:
I never let 100% powered up sit and I never get to vote for everyone I want to - or at least not with the percentage I wished I could give them.
YES! Also, it makes sense for most of your votes to go to participants of the freewrite! Amazing what people come up with, I've enjoyed reading the ones I've gotten to. I've spent too long away from fiction... wrote some flash fiction yesterday and now I want more. lol! Might have to join you. But your thoughts on curation resonate. Thanks for commenting. :)
