Swamp Hop Back on Track . . .Almost
In "saner" times this blog connected with some great bloggers. One of them was Rach at RACH WRITES. Remember that wild month of April when we were A to Z all over the place? I saw a lot of these badges when I visit blogs, so I know you do.
During that month when daily blogging happened, I loved visiting Rach's site because she temped me with a challenging prompt that I had to use to create a response, using the letter of the day. Oy!
Rach's Prompt
Long story short. . . I started playing with those prompts and wrote the story so that each word started with the letter of the day. Another OY here, please. I didn't make it all the way through the alphabet ( I think I got to P) my computer gathered up what I now realize was an immense hairball (all very logical due to recent developments on the cat protest issue.) and I had to stop.
I thought that since I was visiting Rach today I'd regale you with two of my A and Z stories from the A to Z Blogging Challenge, sort of a stroll down memory lane. Ready? I'll only subject you to two. Promise.
DAY C: Castaway Clara considered causality. Could Clara's condition cease? Cautiously, Clara ceded control, collapsed . . . comatose.
DAY D: Diedre, dazed, decried, "Don't depart, Donald!" Donald dared defiance, decisively declaring, "Departure, dear Diedre, demands derring-do!"
And so there you have the end to anyone asking me respond to writing prompt ever again.
DONNA MCDINE, who I've know since before I published anything, is going to host today and her interview is one I really enjoyed doing because I feel I've known her since I began this trip through book land. Hope you'll stop in and say hi to this award winning author who supports authors all the time.
