Hi there,
I've been supposed to do a Monday post for over a week now, and I have to tell you when you haven't done a Monday post and it's Friday, you give up on the week and promise yourself you'll do it on the upcoming Monday and then... It's Tuesday again.

Let's get into it!

How are your songfics coming? I'm waiting on a SuperTuna fic *cough*asphaltcowgrrl, but I've done nothing myself, *sigh*. Let me know if you need a lyric or another song prompt and go back and browse through skargasm's post and get inspired!

Your flash challenge for today is "Illegal, but I want it anyway." Do with it as you will, but do something!

Big Buddy is at 83% today, how are you all doing? Do you need a push? A prompt? How can we help?

As ever, simplyn2deep has been on point with the Word of the Day posts. I genuinely don't think we give enough credit to the person who makes sure that there is a post on this comm EVERY DAY! Go write a fic or a make a graphic in honor of the person who gives so much to this community.

Swaps of Joy have all be given out and confirmed. Does anyone need a hand, inspiration, or a push? Joys are due to be posted on December 24th!

And now I should go back to work. Happy not!Monday to you all!!!

It's Monday again! WOOT! *headdesk*

What is going on folks? Are you creating your fingers off? Have you been productive? Do you have big plans to do so? Let me hear it!

Big Buddy: We are 19% through the month! Are you all on schedule?

Have you done your colors? We are well underway for the long challenge and Kit is doing a fantastic job with prompts, go check them out.

Flash Challenge: "You say that you're okay when you're not." Do with that as you will but give me something and feel a little better!

There are Words of the day, and both letters and numbers of the week, and all kinds of things for you browse through and find inspiration from.

GO FORTH AND CREATE ALL THE THINGS!!

And a happy Not!Monday to you all!

How are you all doing this week? Any big doings going on? Are you excited about upcoming creativity? I have started knitting my 2025 mood blanket, I did put down the wool sweater I was working on, which I know I shouldn't have cause it going to be ugly getting back into it, but working with wool in summer is not the thing, and the blanket is cotton. But I'll get back to it in September I'm sure.

We're wrapping up August, and Bingo (I think). How are you all doing? Get your fics and graphics in for the August counts! Do you need some inspiration to eek out the last few things? There are more Bingo cards!!!

Bug Buddy - We are about 84% through the month, how are you all doing? What can we do to get you there?

Flash challenge - "Put your hands up" Do with it as you will but do something with it.

There are Words of the Day and other prompts, browse your way through some previous entries and find things to be creative about! WE'VE GOT THIS!!!

Have an excellent week!

Sorry about the delay. Yesterday was something and I was not getting to a Monday post no matter what.

One of the dogs ate an entire container of dog allergy supplements. Sunday was ugly, but he seems to be recovered so that is good. And I've developed a summer cold in a bad way. And that's all TMI isn't it. *sigh*

Okay, so what are you all up to this week? Big plans for running the carpet cleaner like me?

Big Buddy is just over 70% today, how are you all doing?

Our Pool Party ended, do you have anything lingering? Bingo should be starting soon, brace yourselves!!!

Flash Challenge: Poison Control Center. Is that too on the nose? ;)

We've had some excellent Words of the Day lately, go on and check them out.

And I've got to dash. Let me know what I missed and what's up with you!

*headdesk*

It is after 330 and I've been trying to write this since 1, so I'm going to get right into it.

We are 40% into the month (how has that happened, and at the same time, how is it not June already?). How are my Big Buddy folks doing?
Is there anything I can do to help.

The words of the day have been awesome, go back and take a peek!

You flash challenge is "They will all be back in 39 days!"

Our long challenge is original fic, and you can browse through some of H's prompts! Go forth and make some creations! Or just hit the previous button and be inspired by anything!!!! GO!!! DO!!!

What are you all up to this week? What big creative plans to you have?

Here it is, Monday again. *sigh* It feels like Mondays happen several time per week.

Anyway, we are at the end of the month so make sure to update your numbers.

Our Rare Pairs Challenge ends today, so scramble to finish things up and take a minute to tell skargasm how much you enjoyed all their hard work over the last 6 weeks!!!!

Your flash challenge is "Not Today". Do with it as you will, but go increase your numbers.

Bid Buddy should be at 100%! How did you do?

Daily Count starts new again tomorrow.

My brain is fried and that's all I have for you right now.
What are your plans for the week?

Well hello there.
It's Friday as I write this and I'm planning a long uninvolved weekend of staying indoors starting work on knitting a new sweater and hanging out with the puppies. 4 whole days of not answering phones or dealing with plow repairs! It will be heaven.

So let's get this going!

How are your WIPs coming? I have actually finished all my knitting WIPs AND wrote a few thousand words so far which is a few thousand more than last year. I'm feeling pretty good about the things that are within my control at the moment. How about you?

You flash challenge is "Look, you can see the blood spatter."

Big Buddy should be at 54%. Are you on schedule? Do you need a hand?

As an additional "because Kaige is taking a day off" challenge, give me 100 words or a graphic for ANY WotD prompt this month! DO IT! The prompts are excellent!!!

And my brain is fried. I hope you are warm enough, I hope you have wonderfully soft things, and I hope you are unconditionally loved (a little bit of dog drool is just proof)

Happy Monday! Tell me all about your plans for the week!

Well happy new creative year to you all!

Are you all prepped and ready for 2025 (as if)? Have you made resolutions? Have you tossed them aside? What are your plans for creativity this year?

I have been knitting every day this year, and I'm through September on my book worm for 2024. Which I'm deeming as pretty good as I'm still in August on my 2023 temperature blanket! And I have decided that I am only knitting for me and picked out 6 projects I want to do. 3 of which are started, 3 are not. It is a very different thing having physical WIPs versus digital writing WIPS. But that is my plan. WIPs first! Do you have a plan of attack?

Your flash challenge - "Allergic, but not anaphylaxis allergic" Do with it as you will and interpret how my 2025 started if you'd like.

Big Buddy folk should be hitting 22% today. Where are you with your figures?

The A to Z and Numbers challenges are set up through the end of the month. Are these still things that you want to keep going? To that end are there things you'd like to see more of? Less of? Anything new you think we should try? As ever we are open to suggestions. simplyn2deep, are you still good with running the daily count challenge and the Words of the Day?

IF you haven't already updated your numbers for 2024 you have until midnight PST today to get them all accounted for! Go! Do!

And that's all I have right now. Imma go take more benadryl, and try to move forward! WOOHOO 2025!

Hello there! Did you all make it through Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Santa Parade Sunday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday? It all feels like it's been a trek since last week, and I only participated on one of those.

Your flash challenge is "ONLY 20?!?"

Big Buddy should be at 16% today. How are you doing?

We have no long challenge this month, but Advent is coming up in a few days, and Swap of Joy is going on. Are you all prepped for that?

I'm planning on hitting up the 100 in 100 again at the end of the month, so if you are tight for your year end figures you will have a LOT of prompts!

As always, hit that back button to go through some words of the day and weekend challenges to see if anything inspires you.

And then, what are your plans for creativity for the rest of the year? Did your NaNoWriMo piece get finished? Are you prepped with a plan for next year? What would you like to see here in 2025? What are the big goals?

I am grateful for everyone here at the comm, and I hope your holiday season is lovely.
