allbingoThis month was exciting as well as fun for me. I made bingo- even though several things aren't yet polished enough for “proper” posting. That's a particularly bothersome balancing act for me; I waver between wanting to post everything all a once and wanting to be a more skilled writer.
Posted fills:
The prompt: telling stories.
Sunday Afternoon
The prompt: relax
Pieces of Home
The prompt: comfort food
Untying Knots
Complete, but not yet posted:
The prompt: hope.
Survival Decisions – Magic always has a cost. Could it be worse than death by exposure when Sopheera and her family are lost in the wilderness?
The prompt: do something new.
Aidan wants to help Faramundo reconnect with his wife and children. Doing the same thing only yields the same results, so it's time to step out of the familiar...
I've also gotten several pieces started which MAY be more than 15k words when finished. I didn't list them because they really are only first scenes, or the first few scenes in stories which are barely set up in the sections written right now. But isn't that the point, using these prompts to spark ideas? (I have to say it worked to the tune of several thousand words per week!)

most of all, I had a BLAST.
