August 2012 Blog Chain

[randi.lee]

I'm back and ready to jump in whenever--or go last... whatever works

 

[orion_mk3]

And tomspy77 misses redemption. Sliced in half by a laser, mayhap.

Anyway: BBBurke is nnnext.

 

[BBBurke]

BaDa Boom: Post

In that case, it's time to light the fire of writing passion with writingismypassion.

The passion is a fading ember in this fictional piece.

Fire & Ice

Mine's up here:

Please let me know if I've done everything right. This is the first time I've ever been part of a chain. (Newbie blushes.)

Thanks for including me,

Lucie

 

[orion_mk3]

Looks good to me. You even went the extra mile and included a small version of our sumptuous title graphic!

Simon seese SuzanneSeese is next.

 

[SuzanneSeese]

Wow that was quick!
I think I may have gone off track a bit, I was in a goofy mood when I wrote it.

randi.lee is next.

Proach and BigWords asked to be deferred to after a specific date this month, which is why they are offset from the others. If it comes to that, we'll take a short hiatus to consider September topics and allow out booted writers a second chance.

 

[randi.lee]

OK I'll have something up in a little bit!

 

[randi.lee]

Mine's up, up, up!

 

[orion_mk3]

All right then. Proach requested extra time but I'll officially put 'em on the docket. Got until Tuesday.

In the meantime: ideas for September. Please nominate and/or vote for ideas for next month. I will also need to recruit a thread-helper for September, since I will be out of the country for 10 days that month with iffy internet access.

 

[Ralph Pines]

Since September means Autumn (at least for me) maybe either a Last Days of Summer post or Back to School post.

And I'll thrown in my hat on the helping ring.

 

[orion_mk3]

Don't everybody volunteer at once Nah, it's cool. This is a busty time for everyone and I appreciate that.

Anyway, Proach has now wasted two of the three days allotted in addition to being placed at the back of the queue by request. If bumpage occurs, let no one say I didn't do my darndest.

 

[Proach]

I'm really sorry, Orion. I've had an incredibly busy week. I'll write my post today, but you can go ahead and bump me to the bottom, because it's going to take me a little time to write my post. Thanks

Well BW said he won't be ready until tomorrow, so I'm just going to leave the queue as is and have you post when you're ready.

As penance you can suggest a topic for next month

 

[Proach]

@Orion--sounds like a fun penance. I'd be totally up for this task, just need a quirky, fun topic. I'll work on my post tomorrow and email it either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Not a problem. BigWords can also go at any time, as can anyone that's been bumped, since we're pretty much at the end of the chain at this point. Bumpees, post a topic for next month and your sins are absolved yea as a river flowing from on high

 

[BigWords]

I'll have something up either tonight or tomorrow - things are still a complete mess at the moment. I'm not forgetting.

 

[writingismypassion]

For September's prompt:

With temps finally cooling in my area, I'm thinking of cool evenings, bonfires, and apple cider. So Autumn would make for a fun topic. But to be fair, since not everyone will be experiencing fall weather, I'll also suggest anything having to do with the number 7 because September comes from the Latin word "septem" which means seven.

I like Autumn as a prompt, even if it's still 100+ degrees in September here. Autumn to me means "change". There's so many topics that could be covered.

 

[BigWords]

Heh. Some of us are gonna interpret "change" as... something disturbing.

 

[Proach]

Here is my post, finally. http://desstories.blogspot.ca/2012/08/aw-august-blog-chain-fire-and-ice.html.

It sure cooled off here quite a bit where I live, much to my displeasure. I'd love it if it was still hot and sunny.

 

[Proach]

Potential topic idea...create a character that everyone would love to meet or hate to meet in under 1000 words.
