Welcome, friend! Relax & rest awhile, if you please. I'm an ordinary girl, a follower of Christ, mama to Gabriel, Heidi, & Aidan; and wife to Evan. Here in this little space of the online world, 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.

June Promptlies >> Week 1


Welcome, WELCOME, dear beans & book-dragons & nerd-faeries and all those in between!

By the way, I apologize! I would have had this up WAYYYY earlier, but we've been all over the place this weekend, and my photos wouldn't upload. . . GRRRR.  But at last!

Today marks Week 1 of my writerly link-up party!


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 June, we're diving into four weeks of writing exercises.  There are four Sundays with full weeks in June, so there's four chances to jump in on this---whether you're able to join only one or two, 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.
Each story should be a minimum of 300 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 July, but ONLY IF this little blog manages to reach 115 followers. :])

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


Hahahaha. xD  I LOVE this one.
Have at it!
I can't wait to see what y'all come up with.

Once you have your story written---and REMEMBER, it does NOT have to be perfect!!---add your link to this cool little gidget below!
SHARE YOUR LINK HERE!

This linkup will be open for this particular prompt until Saturday, June 8th.  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!

Have fun!!!

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.
