kaige68.livejournal.comDearest wonderful people who are eagerly waiting to receive their Swap of Joy gifts.
*headdesk*
You have our most sincere apologies. I believe that there are four of us who are behind the eight-ball on getting your gifts to you. Be assured that we are working on them as much as time will allow and that it is not our intent to ignore you.
We hope you had a wonderful holiday, and look forward to more words in the coming year.
Much love, from the slackers!

New year, new daily count
Dec. 26th, 2019 10:58 amkaige68.livejournal.comComment here and we'll put you on the list! It's as simple as stepping up when your name is called and doing your utmost to meet your own daily word count (whatever that may be). When you finish, write a small bragging post and call up the next contestant!
Be accountable for one day!
Who wants in?

Big Buddy January!
Dec. 26th, 2019 01:00 pmkaige68.livejournal.comComment here with the count you can reach in the month (remember to factor in holidays, finals, road trips, pajama days, hangovers, etc). I will check in with you once a week to make sure you are on schedule, to push you if you aren't, and to shake pompoms at you if you are (Well, I'll probably shake pompoms at you either way).
Your count is up to you. There is no minimum beyond what you decide. But Big Buddy will be watching you! If you pledge 100 words/images, then every Monday chime in to tell us that you are up to snuff.
This is not words to be done in lieu of something else. If you have a bingo, or a big bang, or a drabble-a-day, it all counts! Words/images do not have to be posted to count, they just have to be done!

Word of the Day 12/26/19 Boxing Day
Dec. 26th, 2019 04:57 pmsimplyn2deep.livejournal.comBoxing Day (noun)
(previously 12-26-14)
noun
1. (in Britain) the first weekday after Christmas, when Christmas gifts or boxes are given to employees, letter carriers, etc.
Origin: First recorded in 1825–35
EXAMPLES FROM THE WEB FOR BOXING DAY
Such a disappointment must not be inflicted upon any family on Boxing-day.
THE FOLLOWING OF THE STAR|FLORENCE L. BARCLAY
The gentleman wears a portentous hat, which tickled the fancy of the Boxing-day people immensely.
MYSTIC LONDON:|CHARLES MAURICE DAVIES
There is an amusing account, given by a writer of the querulous class, of a boxing-day in London, a century ago.
THE BOOK OF CHRISTMAS|THOMAS K. HERVEY
But let us pass on to the artistic Boxing-day keepers at the National Gallery.
MYSTIC LONDON:|CHARLES MAURICE DAVIES
And so theatre time draws on, and the interest of Boxing-day grows to a climax.
MYSTIC LONDON:|CHARLES MAURICE DAVIES
Now YOU come up with a sentence (or fic? or graphic?) that best illustrates the word.
