Writersphere – Visual Prompt – 12-12-13

And it’s back to your regularly scheduled postings as of this week. For the rest of the month, there will be be – of course – Yule/Christmas themed prompts. The two I’m posting today are gorgeous, and meaningful to people both of my heritage and my path…. but they are simply gorgeous and inspiring, no matter!

48 of 52 Weeks – ‘Tis the Season, Yule’s the Reason!

Justine and Gary have got to find Nigel, but a quick duck into a room off the last galley has led them into a world of glittering snow, warm fires, food in abundance and even little gifts with their names on them… Wait, there’s cookies, too!

47 of 52 Weeks – A Very NaNo Thanksgiving!

This is one of my more popular posts from a November long past. Well, about three years ago, I think… anyway, I’m re-posting with some tweaks; time has passed by and tastes may have changed. Maybe.
Or something. Besides, for my American friends either home or abroad, Thursday is their Thanksgiving, and it’s two days shy of the end of NaNoWriMo. Since most of them are writers and a lot of them are participating this year, they may be using Turkey-day to celebrate, or procrastinate.
Not to mention it’s a whole …

NaNoMeals – Crock-Pot Beef Stroganoff

I admit – I haven’t (as of my writing this post) tried this one yet, but if I get to it before it posts, I’ll let you know what it’s like… but if you get to it before I do, let me know, huh? Thanks!
