Welcome, friend! Relax & rest awhile, if you please. I am an ordinary gal, a follower of Christ, mama to Gabriel, Heidi, & Aidan; and wife to Evan. Here on this little blog, I share all manner of bookish things, including full content reviews, writerly snippets, encouragement for everyday life, and a whole collection of names & their meanings.

March Promptlies! >> Week 1

AHHHHHH!!!
Today marks WEEK 1 of the Promptlies Link-Up!
*cue hysterical squeals whilst throwing confetti & sprinkles*

Welcome, WELCOME, dear beans & book-dragons & nerd-faeries and all those in between!
If you're at a loss as to what this could possibly be, you can find the intro post HERE.  :]


This is a writerly link-up---and by that I mean it's geared towards hobby writers, storytellers, & aspiring authors (as well as published ones!)---but it's ABSOLUTELY open to EVERYONE.

For the lovely month of March, we're diving into five weeks of writing exercises.  There are five Sundays (which means the final Sunday will actually be going into the first of April), so there's five chances to jump in on this---whether you're able to join one or all!

Find the how-to's below.  MUST READ --->


>   Use the prompt (below) to write a short story/paragraph/excerpt, then post that short on your blog. The deadline for posting that particular prompt each week is Saturday, but you are free to share said story on ANY day before then—this could be as soon as you've completed the little story, or any other day of the week you have free from your usual blog posts.
{EDIT} Each story should be a minimum of 500 to a max of 1000 words!
>  Use the "Promptlies" banner (above), & make sure to link back to this blog somewhere.
>  Revisit THIS POST to share your link via the link tool at the bottom of this page so everyone else may visit to read the treasure you've written.
>  No foul language or vulgarity of any kind.
>  No sensuality.
>  Keep blood & gore to a minimum please!
>  Try out a new genre! This is the perfect opportunity to write something NEW. Or perhaps a great way to revamp & use characters from a current (or old) WIP for these prompts. Whatever it may be, be creative!
And spread the word!!! A potential giveaway is coming sometime in April, but ONLY IF this little blog manages to reach 110 followers.  :]

Without further ado, here's your prompt for this week!


An' there ya are.  Have at it!
I simply can't wait to see what y'all come up with for this prompt.  I'm working on it meself!

And now. . .
SHARE YOUR LINK HERE!
Inlinkz Link Party This linkup will be open for this particular prompt until Saturday, March 9th.  So make sure you get this week's link in by then!  But if you miss it for some reason, no worries---you can jump in anytime.  Just leave a comment below so I can visit your blog!

*{EDIT} I upped the minimum/maximum word count! So sorry if this inconvenienced you, but upon much thought, I didn't want these little stories to feel stilted or cut short in any way.  So, it's now 500 to 1000 words!!*

  2. I saw the "wet" and "bruised", and I was oh no, this doesn't sound good. But then I saw "glitter" and visions of a clumsy girl with a project gone wrong started popping up in my head XD Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

    1. I know! After reading it, I knew I just HAD to use it. Great!! But seriously, no worries if you can't get it in before the end of the week. Just remember to share it in the comments & we'll see it regardless if the linkup is still on. :] Thanks so much!

To each is given a bag of tools,
A shapeless mass, and a book of rules,
And each must make, ere life is flown,
A stumbling block or a stepping stone.
