A letter from a Fictioneer
Reader, I hope this finds you all battling on, honing those writing skills. Looking across city square we see all shades of life. People confronting personal challenges, others finding joy in the smallest detail, but which is which. My own small challenge is to find the words to apologise. My skill at commenting has never been good, at the present time it is worse than ever. I do read every offering, but this humble hack is often stymied when the time comes to comment. However I continue to enjoy riding the carousel that is Friday Fictioneers.

Sometimes it’s a carousel, Sometimes it’s the dodgems
I love fairgrounds …For me it seems nearly always the dodgems,
Yes, the carousel stops and starts, sometimes we’re on it, muse permitting, sometimes we’re not. C’est la vie!
That is so true, my carousel needs halls extra strong menthol, to drive the cobwebs out of the generator
Dear Michael,
I really like what you did there. Wonderful use of the prompt. The writing muse is a fickle friend, isn’t she?
Shalom,
Rochelle
Fickle indeed Rochelle, tomorrow I am going to buy some Halls menthol in an attempt to drive the cobwebs out of my mind
a clever take on the prompt, well done.
The credit is all Brenda’s, her prompt photo drove the cobwebs out of my mind, allowing me to write.
Dear Fictioneer,
we understand! But let me tell you this: I love your comments, even if they are just two words.
🙂
That is kind of you,
Michael, that was brilliant. I usually find something to say in a comment, but it often feels like nothing more than a repeat of what has already been said.
Every week, I faithfully fill in my nam, email, and website, then check the little box to save it.
But every week I have to do it again. Sigh.
Linda, I am so grateful
I like what you did with the prompt. I’m unable to connect with the pic too.
Reena, thank you,.. at the moment my muse is full of cobwebs, I need a good long walk, but I have a cold,
Glad I’m not the only one who’s been absent for a while, though for different reasons, I hope?
Elizabeth, challenges define us, perhaps sometimes that helps us to write. I wish you well
Well said. Thanks for sharing your story.
Thank you Bill, I do enjoy responding to the Fictioneer prompts,
Michael,
We’re all glad you’re along for the ride! Great use of the prompt by the way. :>)
pax,
dora
Dora, you are so kind, but I thank Brenda for her prompt, it challenged me, which is good
A very neat use of the prompt.
Keep writing!
Thank you Penny,
Ride is fun when we have friends along.
Thanks for sharing & being a part of our journey.
What a great comment, thank you Anita
Applause, applause. Hope the Halls Menthol work. (Though the cobwebs seem swept already) My husband swears by the cherry ones. Hope
Thank you Lorraine, and I will try the cherry ones.
Michael your honesty is appreciated. No worries from this Fictioneer.
Sometimes there is nothing to say.
That is true Tannille, and sometime I can’t relate, but I have found that interpretive commenting is sometimes not my thing.
Writing about writing, a clever take indeed! I admit, I often rely on others’ comments to help explain what on earth I’ve just read, and to give me a clue as to what I should write in my comment. And I dread being the first to comment! Nice one.
Keith I do dread being the first to comment, for sometimes commenting needs a sharper thinker than me
I also struggle with the words to comment. Like Linda said, I usually say what someone else has already said. But, that’s okay. Very clever response to the photo. =)
Brenda, I guess to comment needs a difference skill set, it is a skill set which often eludes me.
Well done and you are forgiven 😉
Dale, I am now wondering about forgiveness in fiction.
Very ingenious prompt!
Thank you Neel
Nice take on the prompt, Michael.
Thank you AB
