HUGE thanks to everyone who came to the party and agreed to provide the prompts to keep this meme going.
We have success.
My first draft for the following year looks like this:
December 2019: Cindi is providing the prompts on her blog
January 2020: Mark Koopmans will be providing the prompts, but they will appear here.
February 2020: River is providing the prompts on her blog.
March 2020: Mark Koopmans again. Here again.
April 2020: I will be providing the prompts here.
May 2020: Lee will provide the prompts on her blog.
June 2020: Messymimi will provide the prompts on her blog
July 2020: Cindi will be providing the prompts on her blog again.
August 2020: Lissa will be providing the prompts on her blog.
September 2020: River will be providing the prompts again
October 2020: Messymimi again.
November 2020: Margaret Adamson and her friends will be providing the prompts, but they will appear here.
December 2020: Me again.
Please feel free to say in comments if the months don't suit and we can swap and change. Some of you very generously offered to cover more than one month. I am very pleased to say that we don't (at the moment) need to take up everyone's offer to cover multiple months. Thank you.
The prompts are being provided by people in both hemispheres so they make appear as early as Tuesday or as late as Thursday.
Better watch out for that Koopmans guy - words might be dicey!
ReplyDeleteAlex J. Cavanaugh: Mark has already sent me his prompts - and the words are very Markesque. I am looking forward to seeing where they take people (me included).
DeleteDon't know what you bleeping! mean, Alex :) It's the fiery Irish blood in me, is all!
Delete"Markesque." Been called many a thing, Sue, and that's a first! A nice first, too:)
Markesque?? Uh-Oh, where's my thinking cap?
DeleteAlways pleasant to visit you 😘
ReplyDeleteCloudia: Thank you. Some day we may convince you to join in on this meme. Some day.
DeleteShould be interesting!
ReplyDeleteSusan Kane: It will be. Cindi's prompts are up, and are a definite challenge.
DeleteYippee! Thank you, it's fine by me.
ReplyDeletemessymimi: I am glad.
DeleteBuona giornata.
ReplyDeleteGiancarlo: Thank you - and to you.
DeleteYou have organised it well. Will keep me on my toes finding some of those blogs - glad you put the links there EC.
ReplyDeleteMargaret-whiteangel: I will put up an updated 'Where are the words' post each month - unless they are here.
DeleteLaurie: What a lovely thing to say. Thank you - and this week's prompts are on Cindi's blog already. I do hope you can join us.
ReplyDeleteSo I will be temporarily reading in the past or the future?
ReplyDeletePowdered Toast Man: Quite possibly. Hopefully you will find your way home again.
DeleteI need to save this. So maybe once in while I can join in.
ReplyDeletepeppylady (Dora): I do hope you can join us. I will put up a Where are the Words? post on the first Wednesday of each month - unless the prompts are here.
DeleteThis meme is so much fun. Hope to join you sometime again in 2020.
ReplyDeleteNilanjana Bose: Thank you. I really, really hope you can and do.
DeleteGood to see we have the whole year covered, hopefully more readers will join the challenge and write.
ReplyDeleteRiver: I hope so too. Definitely the more the merrier.
DeleteWell done Sue for having the whole year plotted out and I have been let off with one month. Will get mey thinking cap on now and send the words after Christmas when I return from my Christmas vacation on the I.O.W with my family.
ReplyDeleteMargaret Birding For Pleasure: I am so very grateful that so many people offered to provide the prompts, and will be very pleased to receive your prompts whenevery they arrive. I may yet call on you for another month.
DeleteHi EC - I've given it a go ... those phrases are not easy! Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHilary Melton-Butcher: I found them very challenging too. When Cindi approves the comments I am looking forward to seeing what others have made of them.
DeleteOh, I'm sorry they'll be moving for a while! I fear those other folks won't be as kind about my weirdness as you are. :-(
ReplyDeleteThe Real Cie: I hope and believe they will be every bit as truthful (not kind) as I am. I also hope you will join us from time to time, where ever the prompts are.
DeleteOh very interesting post
ReplyDeletexx
Sakuranko: Welcome and thank you.
DeleteSure it will ve interesting ☺
ReplyDeletenatalia20041989: I hope so, I really hope so.
DeleteStory telling is also valuable for solving lifes little mysteries, you just never know whats going to pop up.
ReplyDeleteSpacer Guy: I firmly believe that stories are not just valuable, but essential.
DeleteLots of words coming our way this year! Hurray. BTW is that Lee me? Did I say I'd do that? I will, of course, but honestly with the year as frazzled as this one has been I don't remember saying I'd do it. Oh no! I'm at that age already?
ReplyDeletecleemckenzie: You can rest easy. It is a different Lee, and clicking on her name will take you to her blog. HOWEVER, if ever you do want to provide the prompts we will be very glad to have you.
DeleteVery nicely done, everyone! x
ReplyDeleteBea: I am so very grateful that so many people have agreed to provide the prompts. I think the variety improves the meme.
DeleteThe upcoming year is going to be really exciting...there are so many extremely talented storytellers...and it is always a real pleasure to read their wonderful offerings!😊😊
ReplyDeleteI do so hope you are doing ok.
Lots of love and hugs ❤❤❤
Ygraine: It does promise lots of thrills doesn't it? I loved your latest poem and fervently hope it is true.
DeleteThank you Elephant’s Child for this challenge. Might just take you up on that offer to join in 2020.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas writing. See you on the WEP.
Susan B: I do hope you can join us. This meme definitely falls into the more the merrier category.
DeleteI will be visiting the December WEP, but not playing this time round.
I love reading these vignettes. Always so much fun. Thanks for keeping them going.

DeleteVery nice.
