I am bouncing between two of my favorite promptpateers today. Cee gives us what appears to be the last, and perhaps most appropriate of the color prompts – Holiday Colors:
This week our topic is Holiday Colors. Choose the holiday or holidays you celebrate. If you are like me, I really don’t celebrate holidays, you can pick a color or colors of your choice.
That leaves me lots of room to find something in the archives. The other prompt is from Linda G. Hill, as she continues the January tradition of Just Jot January. Today’s JusJoJan prompt is “Constellation,” and was suggested by Willow over at WillowDot21.
I want to stop for a minute and thank these three women. Cee’s Fun Foto challenge has kept me in business these past six months. When I released “Knuckleheads,” I thought my blogging life would get back to normal. The other two books in the series were written – what more did I have to do?
As Marley said to Scrooge, Much!
Having Cee’s challenge available, and being able to slip in under the deadline each Monday, allowed me to maintain my preferred schedule and get a little extra life out of some old photos.
Linda’s JusJoJan challenge is one of my favorites of all the prompts that are out there. After slowing down for the holidays, the opportunity to spring to life in January–possibly posting every day–is a great way to get back in gear. And, for those of you who follow me, it should be easy reading. Linda counts anything as a jot. She doesn’t care about timing, length or content. So, I can participate without wearing out my welcome in your inbox. Just keep teling yourself, “it’s only for the month.”
Finally, I want to thank Willow. Not just for today’s prompt, but for her support of my blog and my books. She joined me at the bar last year, She interviewed me at a tea party, and she reviewed two of my books at a pub. She reminded me recently that she stands ready to get together and share her thoughts on the third book in the series. I plan to take her up on that offer once I get some year-end/year-beginning things out of the way.
As for today’s prompt, Constellation. Navigating life these days is often as difficult as it was when men were traveling the seas, guided by the stars.
Let’s see what I can find in those archives:
All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
