We hope you will join us for the Halloween House of Horror challenge on October 19. Linky will go up October 12. This challenge will be judged by Ann Best and Nas Dean to find the Featured Writer and Runner Up.
Hi everyone well, mine is done and scheduled. I won't add the link until close to midnight Thursday my time. I am so excited about it, I hope you all enjoy it once you get to read it. Nancy
If you just toss something together and post it and waggle your tongue at us all and say "well, its a post" I'm happy to read what you wrote. But not every prompt grabs every writer. Don't feel obligated to post anything; but do feel free to post `whatever`.
Denise and I want our contributors to have fun writing; even if it doesn't entirely meet word count or theme. Whatever you develop when you sit down to write to the prompt is "good enough" for us to read, no matter where it lead you. Hopefully the prompt inspired something so involved you got to writing and forgot where the idea got its spark and that there was a word limit.
Perfection is NOT a requirement. Posting is NOT a requirement. ENJOYING the writing experience and being satisfied - even if you don't post - IS ESSENTIAL.
Please don't stress over whether or not to miss this post, or if the writing is "good". Go write, my dear friend.
Thanks for writing this Donna. I really like this prompt. It actually inspired several stories. The problem is that my birthday stories are not very romantic.
My first story was ok, but there is not the teensiest bit of romance in it.
I ended up writing and posting another prequel to my story about Jenny & Co.
Just wanted to convey my wishes for a very happy celebration and a wonderful year ahead. And also thank you for opening up the linky early. Regards, Nilanjana.
I'm sorry that I have to back down from this challenge. My mother is currently in ccu right now. Hopefully, she'll move to a regular room today if all goes well. Fingers crossed! Maybe things will be back to normal in time for the next challenge. Good luck to everyone and I will come back to read the other entries when time permits it. Take care yall and stay blessed.
Happy BIrthday to all you WONDERFUL LIBRAS.... Wishing you lots of romance and GIFTIES!
Thanks for all your wonderful comments. I really appreciate the support all of you are giving me ... a newbe romantic writer. EKKKK! Am I now a romantic writer? What's that going to do for my MACHO image .... LOL.
Hi everyone Denise emailed me to say she was having trouble accessing my blog. I called McAfree and they did what they do. I checked the blog, erased the spam. If you are still having trouble you can email me and I will send you the post which is what I did with Denise. Please let me know if you are having trouble in any case. Thanks Nancy
Sorry Donna & Denise and everyone, I'm not quite in the romance frame of mind this week. I hope you get lots more entries.

Dear Denise & Donna,
ReplyDeleteI've written three stories and none of them are good enough to post!
But I still might post something.
Best wishes,

Have a great weekend. Surely you'll curl our toes at Halloween.
DeleteCrystal, my prayers are with you and your mother. May life turn a corner into happiness for you both soon.
ReplyDeleteDenise, Victor is ready to entertain you with his first Birthday Party in typical Standish style! Danger, death, and snowballs ensue.
Been there, read it Roland. Victor sure likes messy celebrations.
DeleteMy post will be up at 6a on Friday (pacific coast time). I'll link it before I go to work.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your postings; and to those not posting this week - have a wonderful weekend.
