Hi everyone!

Because last week’s one word prompt was so fun, I’m going to do another word prompt for today’s TT. Instead of timing it, though, I just want you to be inspired to write something great no matter how long it takes you, or how many words it takes to do it.

Just write!

Hi everyone!

Because last week’s one word prompt was so fun, I’m going to do another word prompt for today’s TT. Instead of timing it, though, I just want you to be inspired to write something great no matter how long it takes you, or how many words it takes to do it.

Just write!

The word is:

CHIMERA

I can’t wait to see what that inspires:)

I’m doing something a bit different for this week’s TT. I hope you all will give it a try! And as usual, write in comments or leave me a link to your site and I’ll come to you.

I’m going to write one word below.

I’m going to write one word below.

Based on that one word, take one minute to write anything that comes to mind. Don’t think about it, just write.

If you have a timer to buzz you when time is up, set it now.

The word is…

NIGHTMARE

The Texty Ladies would like to thank Leigh Royals for her entry in this week’s Monday Mix Writing Contest.  Since we’re not receiving many entries yet, we’ll treat it as a writing exercise.  It can always be changed back into a contest when we start receiving more entries.  We’re having a little something prepared to give to each of the participants so please do give it a try!  I know we all enjoy reading what people come up with and we hope you’ll just have fun with it. 

With regard to other matters:

BB is available to review ebooks so if you’ve got one you’d like her to review, please contact her by email at textyladies@gmail.com or you can use our contact page.

I’m excited to report that we have some fantastic interviews coming up in the next few weeks!  I won’t give you any clues about who they’re with so you’ll just have to check back and see.   

Since I’ve got the floor, I’d like to ask for your opinion on something.  I’m considering signing up for  this year and would like to hear from anyone who has tried it or from anyone with a strong opinion on the subject.  If you haven’t heard of it, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month and is held every November.  To become a “winner”, you must write a 50,000 word story in one month (November).  I believe the goal is to focus on quantity rather than quality to help you learn how to write first and edit later.  I know this is a ways off yet but I’ve had the idea in the back of my brain all year.  Plus, if I do decide to enter, I’ll have told the world of my interest and will feel like a heel if I don’t complete it.  There’s motivation for ya!
