Word #61

Don't look at the word until you are ready to write.  When your fifteen minutes are up and you have completed your ficlet, you may either post it as a response here, or post a link to the ficlet in your own journal.  If posting on your own journal, please hide the prompt word in some way (ie. under an LJ-cut) in order to avoid spoiling it for others.

Today's word is: juice

You can copy and paste this code when posting your ficlet if desired.

Hey, may I make a suggestion? I think it may be a good idea not to bold the 15 minutes word. It immediatly puts your eye on that, so if people come to this entry but are trying not to look at the word until the are all set, it's hard because your eye goes immediatly to it.

Hi and thanks for the suggestion. We actually make the word bold so it stands out once people have clicked on the LJ-cut. It's best if you don't click on the cut until you're completely set up to write - that way the word stays nicely hidden and you're not tempted to peek.

Yeah, but the thing is, some folks use a toolbar to keep track of their posts, and i tends to drop them right on the poat... or maybe that's just me and I'm whining... probably. Neeevermind. ^^;
