Who put Friday on the calendar for today? Whomever it was, it’s time for your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I was going to write a post about Just Jot it January yesterday, but Alex is really sick and I didn’t get half of what I’d hoped to accomplished. Might be spending the day in the hospital emergency waiting room today. I’ll keep you up to date when I know more. Here’s your prompt:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “ask someone else.” Either ask someone for a prompt word or, if you can’t, turn on a TV or a radio and choose a word from the first sentence you hear. Enjoy!
After you’ve written your Saturday post tomorrow, please link it here to this week’s prompt page and check to make sure it’s here in the comments so others can find it and see your awesome Stream of Consciousness post. Anyone can join in!
To make your post more visible, use our pretty SoCS badge! Just paste it in your Saturday post so people browsing the reader will immediately know your post is stream of consciousness and/or pin it as a widget to your site to show you’re a participant. Wear it with pride!!
1. Your post must be stream of consciousness writing, meaning no editing (typos can be fixed), and minimal planning on what you’re going to write.
2. Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be. One sentence – one thousand words. Fact, fiction, poetry – it doesn’t matter. Just let the words carry you along until you’re ready to stop.
3. I will post the prompt here on my blog every Friday, along with a reminder for you to join in. The prompt will be one random thing, but it will not be a subject. For instance, I will not say “Write about dogs”; the prompt will be more like, “Make your first sentence a question,” “Begin with the word ‘The,’” or will simply be a single word to get you started.
4. Ping back! It’s important, so that I and other people can come and read your post! For example, in your post you can write “This post is part of SoCS:” and then copy and paste the URL found in your address bar at the top of this post into yours. Your link will show up in my comments for everyone to see. The most recent pingbacks will be found at the top. NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, such as Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
5. Read at least one other person’s blog who has linked back their post. Even better, read all of them! If you’re the first person to link back, you can check back later or go to the previous week by following my category, “Stream of Consciousness Saturday,” which you’ll find below the “Like” button on my post.
6. Copy and paste the rules (if you’d like to) in your post. The more people who join in, the more new bloggers you’ll meet and the bigger your community will get!
7. As a suggestion, tag your post “SoCS” and/or “#SoCS” for more exposure and more views.
I totally forgot to schedule One-Liner Wednesday last night! And now I think Alex has whooping cough. Our Christmas was good, though. How was yours?

NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, like Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.
Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”
The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!
If I could, I’d put some love in a tin can and seal it tight.
There would be no expiry date on my tin can,
But it would be there for you to open
Any time you need it.
Even if I’m gone.
I have no idea where that came from. I don’t think people in the US call cans–the kind food comes in at the grocery store–tin cans. They’re just cans. Are they even made of tin? I dunno. I do know if they were dented you shouldn’t eat what was inside. An entire group of arctic explorers were poisoned and died because of botulism that came from cans. There was a movie about it.
Would love in a can be spoiled by a dent?
I think it would just give the love a little extra character.
I used to love tinsel as a kid. I still love sparkly things. I haven’t had tinsel on my Christmas tree in years, though. My ex went to the store at the last minute one of the first years we were together and all he could get was this really ugly pink and orange tinsel. It was like the Charlie Brown of tinsels. Only I didn’t have that much sentimental attachment to it. I think it lasted one year before it got tossed.
I need to get tinsel. Maybe I’ll find some after Christmas.
Have a very merry one, my friends. And if you don’t celebrate Christmas, enjoy whatever you do celebrate. Love you all. Thank you for reading and for sticking around. 🙂 ❤
It’s Friday–the Friday before Christmas! And your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt is here! Battling a bit of a headache this morning, so I’ll keep it short and sweet. Here’s your prompt:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “tin.” Use it as a word or find a word with “tin” in it, and base your post on that word. Bonus points if you start your post with that word. Enjoy!

Me: That’s it. From now on it shall be known not as the freezer but as the unthaw-er.
Son: Yeah, yeah.
I have way too much fun at my kids’ expense.

For a day that was supposed to be filled with writing, editing, maybe a little Christmas shopping, and a whole other lot of productive stuff, it kinda wasn’t.
Because I’m kinda looking after Alex again. For the sixth weekend in a row.
His dad was going to pick him up Friday night. He really was going to. But he got stuck on the highway for two hours, waiting for the fire department to put out a truck.
Source: Twitter-OPP EAST
So he turned around and went back home the moment he had the chance.
And I will be seven weeks without a break. Or maybe eight. I dunno. I never know.
So it’s been a hairy day. Doing stuff with Alex that he’d been expecting to do with his dad. Like playing Wii Party.
Yes, we had fun. But I didn’t get much writing done, nor much editing. And I didn’t get to the store.
I really have to start my Christmas shopping soon. Do you ever wish you could leave it all until everything goes on sale after Christmas? Do things go on sale after Christmas in the US? Here we have Boxing Day sales. Boxing Week sales. A hairy time in retail. It’s the Black Friday of Canada. AND, there’s no Christmas music. Bonus.
And no hairy-chinned guy in a red suit, which means Alex isn’t afraid to go to the mall. Now there’s a real bonus. 😉
I have this wonderful deal going on until December 17th, exclusively on Kobo–a 40% discount on my book. It was chosen as one of a handful of books in my category, paranormal romance. It’s really an honour to have been chosen.
BUT.
Because the ranking is in the tens of thousands (which only means I haven’t sold a book in a while), it’s not being featured on the front page of the sale. The only way it will move up is if it sells.
Here’s the page for the sale: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/p/dec40. If you look for Paranormal & Sci-Fi Romance, you’ll see my book is not there. You have to look at the whole list to find it. Then, add the promo code DECSALE and Bob’s your uncle.
But I digress.
It would mean the world to me if I could sell a copy or two to get front page exposure. So if you’re thinking about getting The Magician’s Blood, this would be the perfect time.
Don’t have a Kobo account?
When you sign up for a free account, you get $5 off. That means you can get the book for free AND buy me a coffee. Yes, it’s a three-dollar take-a-mortgage-out-on-your-house-because-it’s-Starbucks coffee. But reading the book will last a lot longer. And so will my appreciation … last longer than it takes to drink a coffee …
The Magician’s Blood is currently on page 2. Again, the promo code is DECSALE.
Thank you so much. ❤ I promise, if we ever meet, I’ll buy you a coffee. Unless I meet a hundred of you at the same time. Then I’ll owe you one.
Yo! Friday’s here! And that means it’s time for your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat … Does anyone eat geese any more? Huh. Here’s your prompt:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “hairy.” Use it any way you’d like. Bonus points if you use it to mean more than one thing. Enjoy!
