Happy Thanksgiving, or for those of you not located in the US or not celebrating, Happy Thursday.  Hope you have had a good week as we start that accelerated slide towards the end of the year.

I have been off work for the entire week – yay! – which should mean I’ve done lots and lots of writing.  Sadly, that appears not to be the case.  On the plus side, I did get the outdoor holiday lights put up (before the rains started up), the kitchen cleaned, and an excessive number of books read, so I’m considering the time to have been well spent.

I do feel compelled to attempt to put at least some words on the page before I have to head back to the office though, so I’m going to give today’s writing prompt the old college try.

Care to join me?

For those of you working away on a story (whether a first draft or a polished version on its way to publication), we’d love to hear a bit – whether it’s a scene, a paragraph, or even a phrase that you are especially pleased with and would like to share.

If you don’t have a story in progress, or just want to work on something new, maybe today’s writing prompt will catch your creative fancy.  Since we have been celebrating Recipes here on the blog all week, I thought a recipe-theme would be just the thing for today’s writing prompt.  Stumped for creative recipie ideas?  Check out some of this week’s previous posts for imspiration.

Ready?

Today’s theme:

“ A recipe for . . . .”

Feel free to include any (or all) of the following random words:

atmosphere       hear                    signal                ladybug

century                mystery             daring               logical 

brother                bottle                  mansion            cliff

villain                   avenging            confusion          morose 

Whether you’re sharing a bit of your current work or writing something fresh based on the writing prompt, we hope you’ll join us for today’s Story Time.

Happy writing to all!
