Do you like to write? There are probably hundreds of themed writing blogs. Here are a couple. Willow's Magpie Tales blog. Willow posts a photo, you write a story based on the photo. Link via Mr. Linky. You can see the photo for next week's story now. Story submission deadline: 8:00 a.m. EST Tuesday.
On the blog Two Writers Daily I learned about Microfiction Monday hosted by the Stony River blog which I can't seem to link to. Again a picture is posted and you write a story of 140 characters or less. Find a link at Two Writers Daily.
Also Tales on Tuesday where the challenge is to write a story of 500 words or less based on the week's theme. See this blog for instructions.
Every now and again KJ posts a snippet she calls A Novel in a Paragraph which she will later gather with other snippets into a whole novel. This is not a join in challenge, but take a gander at KJ's writing here.
I'm not good a joining in themed posts just because I am not a consistent person, at least where blogging is concerned, but am contemplating throwing out a little bit of writing now and again. We'll see. My brain is such mush I am not sure I can even write 140 characters worth. LOL
Here is what Liza Doolittle has to say about WORDS.

Oh I loved Audrey Hepburn. Wish I could write. I used to do little things in notebooks but nothing for public.
LUV "Eliza"! What a wonderful musical.
You, m' dear, CAN WRITE!
Join a few of these people....you don't have to do it 100% of the time... I know you wouldn't want to write out of obligation... but, it will stimulate the "leetle gray cells"...as Monsieur Poirot says.
Cheerio, luvy!
Hugs,

Go to Elspeths' blog http://nowiswowtoo.blogspot.com/ and sign up for her snippets of writing (Daisy Chain)...it's wonderful short pieces she too is going to put into a larger novel I believe. I LOVE her humor and style of writing.
Oh to have had/or have Audrey Hepburn's body and that costume is to die for!!!! Loved seeing that piece/song! What fun! Thanks.
Happy Writing!
I would love to read some of your writings!!! This looks like a really neat concept...a photo a week to write about. FUN.
You can contribute whenever you want...you don't have to be regular...that is the beauty of Mr. Linky!!!
Audrey rocks!!!
Boy, I'm with you! I always feel like I have a book in me somewhere, but I can never get it out onto paper. The most writing I do is in my journal, and that's usually just griping!
I haven't written for ages and would love to do some more. Time might be hard to find, still I love writing from a picture prompt, so may have a go at it!
Would love to see your efforts Suki, I love your writing here. I used to belong to the 'Writer's Island' blog. It has closed down now sadly. It was so much fun...
Loved Audrey Hepburn!
being a visual artist who can't write-- I am the appreciator of poets and writers- and I love to find good blogs by poets and writers too.
Steviewren writes those Magpie posts. I love to read her stories. Amazing what she can say with so few words.
I've done a couple of "themed" posts--specifically a series on colors, which was fun.
Note to Cris (comment above): you wrote "I wish I could write," so clearly your wish has come true...
i also loved audrey hepburn and the original liza minnelli- younger, and bette davis and joan crawford and katherine hepburn, and specially sophia loren- she was one of the most beautiful women ever! thanks for the memories.
awww, suki, thanks for the mention and for your support! i hope you write more and more. there is a process that heals and raises when the words come from inside to outside.
i am loving my snippets. it's fun to take time to wordsmith like this, to try to paint emotions into a story.
i will read anything you write!!
love
kj
Great post linking to these writing sites. I have enjoyed reading the writing from the Magpie prompts. Reminds me of Natalie Goldbergs suggestions in her writing books.
Your sidebar reports sunshine...enjoy your weekend!
Susan and readers,
For a most interesting book, check out Felix Feneon's "NOVELS IN THREE LINES." (1861-1944)
example:
As she left a Bordeaux hotel with M. Anizan, Leontine Cagnat was shot by the wife of that engineer.
