Valentine's Day is just around the corner and love is in the air. It must be time for Writing Challenge #3. Here are two questions for you. Choose one and write a paragraph in the comment section.1) How did you meet your current romantic partner?OR2) How did your parents meet?Now for the "twist". Your paragraph does not have to be true. You can write the true story or a fictional story. Readers can guess whether your paragraph is true or not (use the comment section). When the challenge ends(wait until the end so that everyone can guess), please come back and tell us if the story was fact or fiction!Here's my answer to number 1. My girlfriend and I used to go to a bar every Monday night to watch WWF wrestling. The bartender gave us a free drink once in a while because he thought it was funny that two grown women watched wrestling. When he finished his shift he would always join "the wrestling girls" for a beer. We became good friends and after a few years of hanging out we started dating. I never watch wrestling anymore, but my husband and I have been together for ten years. We thank "The Rock" for getting us together. --Fact or Fiction?Take a guess. Then, write your own story.--Here are some phrases you can use in the comment section to say whether or not you believe a writer's story:"Tara, that can't be true.""I don't believe that, Josef.""That sounds like a true story, Lynne.""I doubt that.""You're pulling my leg, Lisa."--"twist"= a slight change; added fun or mystery"The Rock"=a famous wrestler and actor"hanging out"=spending time together casually
I see some of you still want to share your love stories. Great! Saeide...hmm I believed you right up until the the marriage at the end. This fairytale ending sounds "too good to be true". Alaa, that's a very romantic story. You met the other side of your soul. I hope it's true. Iza, I believe you. Mark...I think you're pulling my leg.
Tara, you already guessed right--the twins part is untrue, believe it or not. It might be anyone's guess until I told the truth. Sorry for letting you wait for so long a time! Hope others can contribute more stories to this great blog.
"be anyon's guess" = no one knows it exactly
Incidentally, I think it's a good idea to use more useful idioms in our writing and give the meaning at the same time--just as Tara and Josef did.
Hi, I don't want "to leave someone hanging":) As for my story:it's 100% true,but it's my friend's story and I love this story. It's an wonderful international (Europe+USA)=LOVE STORY and it's FACT.
Nutt, I wonder if any of the members from Thailand would recognize the series. You added a twist of your own! Nafis, that was very clever too! You "stumped" us. We couldn't get the right answer even if we tried. Expectorsmith...which part was true? I want to know about the twins! I can't believe you "left us hanging" like that.
"stump someone"=make it very difficult or impossible to answer a question
"leave someone hanging"=make people wait a long time for something (some book or film endings leave us hanging forever)
My story was totally true. However, it was not my story. I got the story from a local newspaper and the story exactly happened between two people that I mentioned. Ha Ha Ha,,, nobody could say the right answer. Ha Ha! Conclusion: the difference between truth and fiction is slight........

I'm going to guess that your story is true. You tell it very well!
Look back a few pages and you will find the answer to whether my story was fact or fiction.

Tara's story is undoubtedly a fascinating one. But I still think Tara might be playing the fool.
"play the fool" (idiom) = behave in a silly way intentionally
