Belated Tuesday's Theme #7

Hello dear readers. My apologies for my belated replies to those who have participated or left comments. I have 4 blogs, under two different identities, and I sometimes become overwhelmed and neglect this one. I've thought about deleting this blog as I've had so few participants, but it seems as though I'm starting to gain more so I'll continue with it for now. Thanks to everyone who reads and participates!

To those who are just joining us I am running a contest to find a new name for my Saturday prompt, currently known as Saturday Free For All. I find that name to be rather unimaginative and I'm looking for a new one. You can find the specifics of said contest in this post and the books up for grabs in this post. I have not yet set an end date as I've only had one participant so far, so it will be running indefinitely. As I'm starting to gain more readers I hope that I will have more participants in the contest as well.

Onto Tuesday's Theme...

With Valentine's Day coming up this Saturday I though I'd pick a theme having to do with that. There are plenty of lovey-dovey, fluffy bunny posts out there about love and romance, and as they tend to make me nauseous, I'm heading in a different direction. So, Tuesday's Theme this week is:

Tainted Love

Write your poem, story, blog post, essay or what have you and leave a comment here with a permalink to your post, not a link to your blog in general so we can all check it out.

May inspiration always find you!

New Look, Contest Books and Tuesday's Theme

Ok, in case you haven't noticed I changed my page some and added my fav writing quotes to my sidebar.

Also, I have decided on the books I will offer the contest winner to choose from once the contest has concluded. You may choose one of these 3 books:

Me Talk Pretty One Day~David Sedaris

Interpreter of Maladies~Jhumpa Lahiri

Queen of Camelot~Nancy McKenzie

All three of these books are amazing, it is a hard choice. The first 2 are collections of short stories by amazingly superlative authors and the 3rd is a novel about the reign of King Arthur and his beautiful, enigmatic wife, Guinevere, told by one of my fav authors, Nancy McKenzie. You can read my review of this novel here.

So, come on people, I've only had one person offer their idea for the contest. I'm a damsel in distress and I need your help finding a new name for Free For All Saturday! Help a gal out, won't ya?

Now, on to Tuesday's Theme....

Confusion

Write a story, poem, essay or blog post regarding this theme and once you are done leave a link to that post (not to your blog in general) here in the comment section. Also, please remember to link to this post in your post.

May inspiration always find you!

Tuesday's Theme #5

As you know, today is Inauguration Day and we swear in a new president. Thank Goddess for that! In honor of today, I thought I'd post a prompt. At first, I thought of' change,' but decided that was too predictable and mundane. So, the prompt for today is:

Good Riddance!!

Though the thought behind this prompt is political and stems from my joy of finally being rid of Monkey Boy and his disastrous dictatorship (I'm doing my happy dance right now!), feel free to steer away from the political in your story, poem, essay or blog post.

When you have finished your piece, remember to leave a comment with a link to that post, not your blog in general.

I'll be checking out the comments to my last prompt sometime today. I look forward to reading your take on my prompt.

May inspiration always find you!

Tuesdays' Theme #4

Yes, once again I'm a day late with Tuesday's Theme. But, better late than never. So, today the theme is going to be....

The Sun and the Moon

Tuesday's Theme #3

Yes, I realize it's Wednesday, but with the kids being home for the summer, I'm getting less and less computer time these days.

With the Summer Solstice coming up, I thought I would make

Summer

my theme for the week. Does this conjure images of swimming, family vacations, barbecues by the beach? Whatever summer means to you, put it into words, leave your link, and share your writing!

Have a great Wednesday!

Jane

Tuesday's Theme

Today the theme is:

Lives: Past lives, current lives, future lives, ideal lives, fantasy lives, whatever comes to your mind.

Happy Writing!

Jane

Tuesday's Theme #1

I am going to do something a little bit different today. Instead of giving you a theme, I'm going to offer a first line for a poem, story, essay, blog post, or whatever. Take the following line, and add your words to it:

The moon rose over the slumbering world...

I hope that this stirs your creativity a bit. I know it stirred mine!

Have a great Tuesday!
