It “popped” into my head the moment I read the prompt. It’s taken me four weeks to write…
I’m going to sleep now. Please do not disturb until July.

Happens to me too Mark! Instant idea and take an age to write the words! Will add this to the entry list after popping over for a read!

June has not been a good month for getting stuff done. Lambs happened around June 1st, and then my partner had a health scare which meant I was doing most of the work.
I probably shouldn’t say that things are quietening down now.

I’d say you’ve done plenty Mark. Maybe not on a writing or blogging front, but don’t knock back work on the farm. That’s a pretty full on job. Add in the health scare and you’ve had a very busy month. Lambing alone is a big job so kudos where it’s due!

Updated to my pingback Rachael. Not that my formatting is being friendly at the moment on my blog. Linked both Airtight and Corona though in a genre first with an AI that could well have written The God Strain hack 🤔

haha! That’s an interesting and terrifying thought!

Might have mileage though! I always thought GS had more to offer. Corona does mention re-writing biological hacks too. Being AI then Wi-fi would be an obvious vector to use!

well here is mine, https://justmuddlingthroughlife.co.uk/2019/06/14/man-in-the-moon/
have to admit, I was about 700 words in when I realised that the Corona is related to the Sun, not the moon, oops.. but I had got too far to rewrite it..
Also, the huge photo is the fault of WordPress. I did smush it but it is still huge. right now I have not got time to photoshop it.. Thanks!

Ha, ha! There was me thinking you had inside information and had them queued up ready to go! I’m aiming to read everyone’s this weekend and shout you all out on various social media!
That said you’ve put us to proper shame now I think about it….because I do have all the prompt words and still miss the deadlines 🙄
