Blogophilia Week 31.14 – Dragon Hunter

Posted on January 29, 2023 by Marvin's Blogophilia

This is Ecrits Blogophilia Week 31 of our 14th year!

MARTIAN REQUEST FOR FUTURE POSTINGS:

1. Please tag Marvin by posting the link to your WordPress/Blogger blog either on Marvin’s Facebook profile or on the weekly challenge Facebook posts. These can be found both in the Ecrits Blogophilia group page or on Marvin’s profile and are pinned to the top of each. I have nearly missed some posts recently!

2. 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 will not go directly to your specific post, the reader will be taken to either my Facebook page or the Blogophilia group. Then they have to scroll to find your write, which you do not want.

3. Please send topics, bonus and picture prompts if you haven’t already!!! The Marvin house is still utilizing prompts that were sent by participants over the past 8 years. Let’s freshen things up and get some creativity flowing. You can send at any time via direct message to Martien Ecrits. Thanks!

You Earthlings rock – thanks so much!

************************************

Something’s wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren’t of Snow White

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon’s fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to Never, Neverland

“Enter Sandman” by Metallica

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!

Time for something completely different – this week’s selection of prompts may inspire some funny or adventurous writes. Great job, Blogophilians! 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 “Hope Springs Eternal” was provided by Dahlia Ramone! Thank you for the beautiful topic. Was that the name of a famous movie – this Martian doesn’t keep up with that? Your topic inspired some creative writes!

Last week’s bonus prompts were submitted by Linda Thurmond and Trevor Clower! Thank you for your contributions last week! We miss you both and hope you’ll rejoin with your awesome writes!

Last week’s awesome picture was submitted by Irene Melgoza! Thank you for that beautiful photo that matched the topic perfectly! Second week in a row that has happened, and again – a picture that creates a sense of serenity!

A huge welcome back to Dave Coon aka Nissmech! We have missed our blue friend’s writing and it is good to read his work again!

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.

Ecrits Blogophilia Week 31.14 Topic:
Dragon Hunter

Hard Bonus: Incorporate a lyric by The Clash

Easy Bonus: Include your favorite childhood toy

Blogs should be submitted on or before Midnight (EST), Saturday, February 4, 2023 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!!!
