Happy March, all! I am flying out tomorrow to Memphis, TN for a job interview at a great institution. This would definitely be a dream job.

Unfortunately, I won't have time to send out prizes for "The One-Line Lyric Challenge" Open in new Window. until I get back March 5.
Apologies to everyone who entered last month for the delay.

However, there is a new prompt up now!

Good luck for the job interview. I hope you get it.

If you haven't already done so, maybe add a disclaimer with the judging time-line on the contest page since a newsfeed announcement travels off the page.
Hoping for the best for you.
Best of *4leaf* Luck!
Five days.

That's long enough to walk from Chicago to Cleveland. Or grow 2.5 mm of hair. Or read the Quran, twice. Or climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Or enter:

There's no way I could walk from Chicago to Cleveland. Although I could manage the hair, I'll admit that.
"When in Rome" is one helluva protest song. Folks who focus on survival only know what they know... I see there are two responses. I should write to this as well, maybe use the phrase in italics that came to my mind.
Alright, fine.

You can have a Song Prompt for February.

But not until you finish your Lyric Prompt.

New lyric prompt for February: "All Things End" Open in new Window.

The prizes for January have all been sent out, and the January prompts are now closed.
Second prompt for February will go up in a couple of weeks!
Well. January was a tough year, but we made it.

Sorry I haven't been around. My last day at work was yesterday, after 6 years. The end of an era, and one of the hardest weeks I can remember, mentally, emotionally and physically.

I need some time to get my life back in order, whatever it's going to be.

Please be patient as I get caught up here.

I do plan to send out prizes and a new prompt for "The One-Line Lyric Challenge" Open in new Window. some time tomorrow.
At some point, when my brain solidifies again, I will also try and catch up in "The Bradbury" Open in new Window..

Today, I am reminded of these immortal words from Martin Luther King Jr:

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."



Good news you probably don't care about:
I've officially "graduated" from physical therapy!
Still not at 100%, but I can do most things now.

Good news you might actually care about:
You still have time to enter "The One-Line Lyric Challenge" Open in new Window. this month!

Congratulations on graduating!!
Thats awesome! May you have a great career!
Ah, maybe should have made this more clear. I "graduated" from attending physical therapy every week for an injury. As in, I don't have to go in person anymore and can just do daily exercises at home until fully recovered. Still good news, but nothing to do with my career.

Congratulations to all the Quill nominees!

Unfortunately, I didn't get any nominations this year. Probably because I didn't write anything in 2024, besides a couple of eight-line poems  Open in new Window.. That's, frankly, all I could manage.

I'm not going to let that happen in 2025.

After this month, my last month at my job of 6 years, I'll have a lot more time.
Mental health allowing, I will be using some of it to write.

But until then, I will probably be MIA.

 

By the way, a new prompt is up over at:

Keep in mind, there's no rule against cross-submitting your entry to other contests or activities.

Perhaps, "The Bradbury" Open in new Window.?

You're as bad as me, Anni. Nothing but blank pages and I couldn't convince anyone that it was a "shape poem" about snow. *Laugh* I did, however, clean out my port and got a nomination for best portfolio. Evidently, the standards are much lower in that category. *Rolling*
But you run a contest! That's something. *Smile* One of my offerings I wrote for you was nominated. Not the one I expected. *Laugh*
🌖 HuntersMoon Author Icon - I need to redo my port... it's mess and I know it! However... not a priority before I die.

Thank you for all the anniversary notes and reviews!

I can honestly say I probably wouldn't have written a single thing for fun in the last 4 years if I hadn't joined this site at the beginning of 2021.
I definitely needed a push to get back into it.

I did fall off again last year. I could give lots of excuses, but I won't.

I'll just try and do better this year.

 


Let's not forget about:
