This is Ecrits Blogophilia Week 34 of our 14th year!
Guess what? It’s Writer’s Choice week! We at the Marvin house have provided the topic and picture for this week. But you can choose your own hard and easy bonuses for the week. For that matter, you can make up your own topic and picture if you like. It’s freedom of choice – whatever inspires you!
Stumped and need prompts? You can always go back and pick your favorite ones from the past if you need inspiration!
WANTED: Creative topics, bonus suggestions (like lyrics, quotes, something unique but easy to integrate into a write) and fun/inspirational pictures! We need some fresh new ideas – thank you in advance!
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.
************************************
A victim of collision on the open sea
Nobody ever said that life was free
Sank, swam, go down with the ship
But use your freedom of choice
I’ll say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Your freedom of choice
In ancient Rome
There was a poem
About a dog
Who found two bones
He picked at one
He licked the other
He went in circles
He dropped dead
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice!
Is what you want!
“Freedom of Choice” by Devo

It’s Valentine’s week, Earthlings! Wishing you a week filled with love, candy and roses (or not)! Remember, the topic, picture and bonus prompts are provided for inspiration, they are not required since we eliminated the scoring component. The question remaining is… will you go for a romantic write, or the exact opposite? I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Last week’s topic “Don’t Bring Me Roses” was provided by the our angel in heaven Bettie Davis!! We miss you dearly and hope you are surrounded by love walking the streets of gold in heaven!
Last week’s bonus prompts were submitted by another of our dearly departed angel Barbara Kausteklis and also by Rebecca Grusendorf! Thank you for your contributions last week! We know that Barbara is watching over us from the heavenly clouds!
Last week’s fun picture was submitted by Violeta Falo Tiumalu! Such a perfect picture for Valentine’s Day week! Thank you!

Ecrits Blogophilia Week 34.14 Topic: Freedom of Choice
Hard Bonus: Writer’s Choice!
Easy Bonus: Writer’s Choice!
Blogs should be submitted on or before Midnight (EST), Saturday, February 25, 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 based on points. Instead, we aim to be inclusive, collaborative and encouraging of writers!!
What are you waiting for? Start Writing!!!

I love this week’s picture! I added an appropriate quote under the pic, as well as dedicated a song to it at the end.
Anyway, I am up!
