100 Words on…

February 01st, 2010 | Category: 100 Words

Just a super quick post because I know you’re all checking back and you’re all, “Where in the world is VV?”.  Buried under a mountain of deadlines and caught in the cogwheels of a huge family scheduling transition.  I’ll be back later today with your new word, and then I’ll edit this post on Wednesday or Thursday with the roundup.  Hey, I have an idea!  Is anyone currently reading something they would like to pull a word from?  If so, leave it in the comments and I’ll check back this evening.  Muah!  Gotta run, bye!Update: Ok, new challenge from Tara:

Darkness

    I’m reading The Ode Less Travelled: Unlocking the Poet Within by Stephen Fry, and I got the word “response”.

    Hm.

    I’m reading ‘The Gates’ by John Connolly, and from there offer the word… ‘darkness.’

    Mine is here. Entitled, “Sarah’s Smile”.

    Ironic that my ‘captcha’ is: ‘have fallout’. Yes, I do.

    Hello Velvet,

    I just was searching around and found your blog, and I wanted to tell you that I really like the whole 100 words concept. I’ve enjoyed reading some of your posts.

    I was thinking that since you are into style and crafts, I could send you a mask from my company (we make handmade masquerade masks) free of charge, nothing expected in return. We have really nice designs, and since I am a former blogger myself, I like to give them away sometimes to the people on the internet who really enjoy them.

    I would have emailed you directly but could not find a contact section. Just email me at the address that I left if you are interested.

    Have a good day, great blog once again! :)

    All the best,

    Conrad

    Hi Conrad,

    I would be delighted. I’ll send you an email.

    “Getting wrathed” from Metagame.
    I’m new here. Not sure I understand the 100 words thing.
    Doh. :)

    What a cool idea! I’m trying to blog, but I’m finding it hard to get started. This is a great way to get me writing–thank you VV!

    It’s been a while since I’ve participated. I’ve been having a hard time finding my writing mojo lately. Here’s my entry:

    Ok folks, thanks for keeping this going. I’ve been having a crazy couple of weeks. And, I indulged and watched the Superbowl tonight and had some much needed shouting and fussing. New round ups will go up tonight (Monday).

    Hi, I’m new to this writing adventure, but have posted my offering for Darkness here:

    Only it doesn’t seem to go purple like the other people’s do! Help!

    Oops! The link went purple when I posted it! And I forgot to say what an excellent idea this is to keep one in touch with creative writing. Thanks for taking the time to make this site.
