Just say no to snow! At least that’s what I’m doing. So far so good this morning! (Of course there’s a 60% chance of snow, so my wishes will probably be denied.)

At least we have Unconscious Mutterings to depend on. You play this game by simply answering the word prompts (created by LunaNina) in the comments section. It’s a fun way to clear out the unconscious and get the week going!

Let’s play! Here are your word prompts:

  1. Harm ::
  2. If ::
  3. On my own ::
  4. She said ::
  5. Illegal ::
  6. Broke ::
  7. It’s a ::
  8. Chatting ::
  9. Cottege ::
  10. Podcast ::

Here are my answers:

  1. Harm :: ‘s way

This last week, I’ve been getting up early to write. Some days, I’ve gotten a lot done. Other days, I stare at the blank screen. Overall, it’s been a very good thing.

The nicest thing about getting up early is seeing the amazing sunrises. This mornings was pink and magenta with dramatics shadows of maroon. That’s inspiring.

I am also inspired by Unconscious Mutterings. I look forward to them during the week. I read through each comment when they come in. The diversity and sameness inspires me in the way that we are diverse and the same.

I have decided to keep with my Claudia’s grab-bag give away. I believe I know each of you well enough to have some idea what might interest you. (Insert evil laugh) I’m going to be working on this next week. We’ll see how it goes…. Last week’s winner? Karin from Popping Bubbles!

How do you play? Simply answer the word prompts (created by the lovely and talented Pea at LunaNina) in the comments section.  Each week, I select a winner using Random.org. Please do play. It’s fun, easy and really a great way to end or start your week.

Here are your prompts:

  1. Alarm ::
  2. Guest ::
  3. Worm ::
  4. Puppies ::
  5. Honor ::
  6. No! ::
  7. Stomach ::
  8. Counter ::
  9. Waffles ::
  10. Plates ::

Here are my responses:

  1. Alarm :: ist entry
  2. Guest :: of the King
  3. Worm :: !!
  4. Puppies :: are love
  5. Honor :: roll
  6. No! :: Never!
