Words for Wednesday 25/12/2024

This meme was started by Delores a long time ago.  Computer issues led her to bow out for a while.  The meme was too much fun to let go, and now Words for Wednesday is provided by a number of people and has become a movable feast. 

Essentially the aim is to encourage us to write.  Each week we are given a choice of prompts: which can be words, phrases, music or an image.   What we do with those prompts is up to us:  a short story, prose, a song, a poem, or treating them with ignore...  We can use some or all of the prompts, and mixing and matching is encouraged.

Some of us put our creation in comments on the post, and others post on their own blog.  I would really like it if as many people as possible joined into this fun meme, which includes cheering on the other participants.  If you are posting on your own blog - let me know so that I, and other participants, can come along and applaud. 

Huge thanks to Alex J. Cavanaugh who challenged us last month, despite it being a very busy month for him.  This month Wisewebwoman is providing the prompts and they will appear here.  Charlotte (MotherOwl) has selected light blue as the colour of the month.

This week's prompts are:

• Wreath
• Pine
• Ribbon
• Stealth
• Chimney

and/or

• Toboggan
• Wolf
• Plum pudding
• Ambience
• Blizzard

As always, have fun.

 

Huge thanks to Wisewebwoman  and Charlotte (MotherOwl) who provided us with the prompts this month.

 

Not only is it Christmas Day for those who celebrate there are a plethora of other celebrations around the world; religious, cultural and family celebrations.  If you are feeling overwhelmed or are too busy, not to worry, there is always next week.

 

I hope that whatever you celebrate (or don't) you have a pleasant day and an excellent New Year.  Please also spare a thought for whom this is a very, very difficult time of year.
