Come out, come out, wherever you are...

Here it is, the middle of the work week and... oh wait, most of us aren't working.

What are you doing during this hiatus?  I'm trying to stay creative, and I really need to do some writing.  We have a Song Story prompt up, the weekly Short Affair and, I think Once Upon A Time is back.  Chime in on your challenges please, I'm probably not completely up to date.

If you're not writing, what are you reading?  Do we need some additional links for stories that haven't been seen in a while?  Let me know, we have archives, the Way Back Machine has stories that go back decades.

Let's check in.

I'm still here! I finally got an idea for my own challenge so I will be working on it today with my eye on publishing tomorrow.

That's terrific. I'll be getting to it as well, I haven't written anything for weeks.

I ventured out into the world yesterday. By ventured I mean, my Dad drove me to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription. He didn't get out of the car and I was out of it for all of two minutes. It was the first time I've had shoes on for three and a half weeks and it felt odd. I noted down the sensation in the hope that I can use it when I finally manage to write something; hopefully soon.

I've been out every day either for exercise or to buy food. The weather has been beautiful - though my garden is now suffering from drought - and all the blossom is out. I come home and sneeze and cough for the rest of the day with hayfever, but it's worth it.

As for reading material, I'm on my way to finishing the recently published final volume in Hilary Mantel's trilogy about Thomas Cromwell and Henry VIII called 'The mirror and the light'. In between I'm also reading 'La peste', and some of Dorothy Sayers detective novels. And of course some favourites in the MFU genre - writers like Paper-Crane-Song, Azdak, Eponymous Rose, to name but a few. I've also started a story of my own - first time in weeks. Not sure whether it'll achieve completion.

Hope everyone is keeping well.
