Congrats on the weight loss!
I really the the one you have above your post.
PS: I'm a follower--haven't you
seen me? :) Melinda

And now, how about a new giveaway?

How about the new Weight Watchers Entertaining book containing 135 recipes, ideas, tips and menus for healthy and happy Celebrations? Any comments to this post, the Saturday Centus post or Sundays post will count toward the giveaway.

I'll pick a winner on Monday and get it right out to you!

Geez. My fingers are getting tired. I bet your eyes are exhausted about now!

Can I just talk about Saturday Centus for a moment?

I'm not sure exactly how this will work, or if it will work at all but there was definitely interest in the idea and I think we should try it...if you're game.

Here's how I perceive it working.

Each Saturday I will post a prompt sentence and then you finish the story in 100 words or less. It doesn't have to be exactly 100 words. Just under 100 words to make it easy for us to read. The post should not be illustrated...your words are your descriptions.

The Link for each weeks Saturday Centus will be live for the whole week...until the next Saturdays prompt sentence.

You can visit the link (through the easy Saturday Centus tab at the top of the blog) and I would encourage you to read all the links.

Who knows. Maybe no-one will do it and there might only be mine linked there.

I like the idea of this to challenge our writing. To make us start from a different point to a different destination then we might usually.

The only thing I really want to limit here is language. You can be as dark as you want...cheeriness not required, but I really request sincerely that you limit your use of profanity.

And that is your only guideline.

I am going to put up the first Saturday Centus now.

And hopefully you can be patient with me while we figure out how to make this run smoothly and be a writers inspiration each week.

And please be sure to link back with the button.

And be sure to link your story URL in Linky and not just your main blog URL. I can help you with this if you are confused.

OK.

I think I'm done.

I will be gone almost all day today so if you send me a question don't worry if I don't get right back to you!

Thanks for toughing this long blog out!

Good luck on the giveaway.
