Blogophilia Week 1.15 – Only In America

Celebrate!! It’s almost July 4, let the fireworks begin! Also, today we begin YEAR 15 of Blogophilia! W00t! W00t!

Can you believe we have been writing together for FIFTEEN YEARS!?!?! Mind blown! Thank you for hanging around and writing with the Blogophilia group since we came back from extended hiatus last fall! We at The Marvin House are SO GRATEFUL for you and for your participation! This writing group is open to all, and you have the choice to use the prompts – or not! Whatever floats your boat is fine by us. We invite you to join in the fun!

We want to feature different writers’ prompts in Year 15, and our supply of archived prompts is running low. Please send The Marvin House a direct message with your creative topics, bonus suggestions and royalty-free pictures! Remember to send prompts that will inspire our writers. Until next week…. ENJOY and Happy Writing!

Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I’m hoping it’s going to come true
But there’s not a lot I can do

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear?
They gotta have ’em in Texas
‘Cause everyone’s a millionaire
I’m a winner, I’m a sinner
Do you want my autograph?
I’m a loser, what a joker
I’m playing my jokes upon you
While there’s nothing better to do, hey!

“Breakfast in America” by Supertramp

Ecrits Blogophilia Week 1.15 – Only In America

Hard Bonus: Incorporate the word “funicular”

Easy Bonus: Mention a hero

Blogs should be submitted on or before Midnight (EST), Saturday, July 8, 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!!

So what are you waiting for? Start Writing!!!
