Blogophilia Week 24.14 – Brrrr, It’s Cold Out There!!

This is Ecrits Blogophilia Week 24 of our 14th year!

MARTIAN REQUEST FOR FUTURE POSTINGS – Earthlings, if you are posting your weekly challenge piece directly to Facebook either in a comment or your own post, please add a picture to your write (either the weekly picture or any of your own) so that I can link it directly to your write. Otherwise, the link just posts to my Facebook page, not your write – and we want readers to be able to access your write directly without scrolling all around! 🙂 Thanks!

I really can’t stay – Baby it’s cold outside
I’ve got to go away – Baby it’s cold outside
This evening has been – Been hoping that you’d drop in
So very nice – I’ll hold your hands, they’re just like ice

My mother will start to worry – Beautiful, what’s your hurry?
Father will be pacing the floor – Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I’d better scurry – Beautiful, please don’t hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more – Put some records on while I pour

“Baby It’s Cold Outside” by Dean Martin

ATTENTION BLOGGERS: PLEASE continue to post the link to your blog on either the Facebook Martien Ecrits timeline or the Ecrits Blogophilia group!!!!!! Or post within Facebook if that is what works for you.

Thanks for your cooperation!

Brrr, it is cold outside indeed! At least in my neck of the woods on Mars. Winter is almost officially here, and we at the Marvin house would love to hear your take on winter in this week’s challenge. We are so honored to provide a weekly space for you to let your creativity flow and write!

Thank you from the bottom of our alien hearts for your support, we at the Marvin house can’t wait to read what you’ve got in store this week. Remember, the topic and bonus prompts are provided for inspiration, they are not required since we eliminated the scoring component.

Last week’s topic “It’s A Good Life” was provided by Melissa Fallon! We thank you for that amazing topic that helps remind us to reflect on how good our lives really are!

Last week’s bonus prompts were submitted by Christine Wichman & Kim Herndon (both submitted the Thomas Jefferson quote) and Jessica Brooke Miller!

Last week’s awesome picture was submitted by Stormy Gail Dormire! Thank you for that amazing and soulful picture which provided inspiration!

Remember that you can send in topics, bonus suggestions and pictures to me by direct message at any time. We will save this information and try to use different prompts from all participants. Be sure that the photos submitted are not copyrighted and are royalty free, or you can use photographs that you have personally taken. We will not use any photographs that suggest hate, discrimination, pornography, or other taboo subjects.

Week 24.14 Picture

Ecrits Blogophilia Week 24.14 Topic:

Brrrr, It’s Cold Out There!!

Hard Bonus: Incorporate a lyric by Soundgarden

Easy Bonus: Mention something money can’t buy

Blogs should be submitted on or before Midnight (EST), Saturday, December 17, 2022 at 11 EST!! Please TAG Martien Ecrits by including his name within your blog content. In doing so, your blog will show up on his timeline. You may also post your blog link in the comment section below and/or post your blog link on the group Ecrits Blogophilia page.

There are no longer any guesses for the topic, bonus prompts or picture submissions, nor points awarded for any of these. As stated in our relaunch blog, the Blogophilia challenge has eliminated point scoring, tallying, tracking and awarding jackets. We have moved to a kinder, gentler blogging group that is no longer a competition. Instead, we aim to be inclusive, collaborative and encouraging of writers!!

What are you waiting for? Start Writing!!!
