Hi, folks! It’s February, and time for the WEP’s first challenge of the year - brought to you by the original imaginings of Nilanjana Bose, the creativity of Olga Godim, and your hosts, Denise Covey and Yolanda Renée! This month, let's go to the...
BACK OF THE DRAWER!
Just the thought that you could
open a drawer and find a letter, a deed, a lottery ticket - sparks the
imagination! What twist can you give this amazing prompt? Maybe you find a
hidden door and open it to find a room full of priceless art? This is the basis of novels on the Paris apartment where exactly this happened. Here's one here!
It does happen! Just recently a man decided to spend a snow day cleaning house. He found a million dollar lottery ticket!

Woo hoo. So excited to be on the way again! Come on! Let's join this one!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this! Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you Debbie!
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI have so many things in the back of my drawer that I'm going to have a hard time choosing from which direction I want to write something about.
Thanks for all the hard work your team puts into this. I look forward to it every time, even when I don't participate.
Shalom aleichem,
Pat
And we look forward to it every time Pat!
DeletePat, I tried three or four times to comment on your blog but each time, it ate the words. I liked your story a lot, but couldn't break through the comment wall.
DeleteGreat prompt--lots of ways to go with it.
ReplyDeleteBodies, can we find bodies 'in the back of the drawer, cause I've got a good one.
ReplyDeleteGuess I'm gonna just have to share it and see what everybody thinks. This is a great prompt. Open for all kind of interpretations. Looking forward to reading these, ss much as writing mine.
I don't see why not! I'd be intrigued for one! Bring it on!
DeleteI realized I forgot to comment when I signed up! I'll blame my loopiness on the sinus infection I've got going on right now.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great challenge. The drawers around my house have proven time and again that you never know what you'll find in them. I can't wait!
Hope your sinuses are improving LG! Can't wait either!
DeleteI'm excited to take part. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteIdeas are flowing.

Late to the signup party, but decided to give it a go. I may be twisting the rules a bit to fit the prompt, but it is based on a true story in part.
ReplyDeleteYou know what we think of rules here DG. Go for it!
DeleteThis back of the drawer challenge has been at the back of my mind since I read about it but I've only just gotten around to signing up. I've written. Now I have to edit and polish. Looking forward to reading some fabulous writing.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to have you on board!
DeleteI too am looking forward to all the entries!
Jen, it's so exciting to have you again !
ReplyDeleteJust posted my story!
ReplyDeleteIt's always a delight to see a new challenge from you ladies! I just need to do a better job of keeping up with them...
Cool, can't wait to read it!
DeleteBette late than never. I'm in.
ReplyDeleteOh and my link is a DL. Should be live, 6am ET.
DeleteDone! See you in the morning! :)
DeleteSorry, I forgot to submit my intention to post earlier. I have now posted my story.
ReplyDeleteWe're just happy you're here! We've missed you!
DeleteThanks for putting the DL on my post, I forgot to comment here about that. Finished posting it late. Looks like lots of good reading. I have an appointment but will be back to continue reading all the entries.
ReplyDeleteNo problem. We try to keep up with what's happening!
DeleteI've tried to share each post on the different social media sites, if I've missed anyone, my apologies.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is, Damn! it's going to be near impossible to choose a winner! So many wonderful stories!
Job well done, all of you!
Yes, I see them coming up on FB. Well done Yolanda and the others who shared on social media.
DeleteI just posted, hope it's not too late, it's still the 15th here!
ReplyDeleteThrilled that you made it a priority! Thanks!
DeleteJust here to apologise for forgetting to add the DL - thanks Denise, Yolanda for adding mine, and sharing. Thanks for all the work!!
ReplyDeleteJust blown away by the stories, so varied and so good. A-ma-zing!
Cdn't comment over at Pat Gracia's though, made several attempts. Just thought I'd pop in here and say that I loved your heartwarming Valentine story, Pat, if you're reading. Particularly loved the contrast in the POV's of the two characters, and that without actually believing in keepsakes, he still panders to her need for them and leaves her something more of himself to hang onto. Joyous and beautiful.
Yes Nila it did take. There's no message when you publish but it does come up later. I just went by to check. Pat says she's working on getting a message up.
DeleteMy story is up, Sorry it's late, family issues. I'll be making the rounds but maybe a little late since I also have a lot of critiquing to do and a meeting.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy.
Nancy
No problem, we're just glad you're here! Love your piece!
DeleteDenise, My comment didn't take at Pat Garcia's last night and I tried 3-4 times. Perhaps she has some restriction on who is allowed to comment. I'm not on FB or Twitter and only on Blogger. It's frustrating reading an entry and trying that many times to comment. If it wasn't WEP, I wouldn't have kept trying. Pat's is the only blog I've had a problem with.
ReplyDeleteI went over and checked. There's a lot of comments from us (me included) saying our comment didn't take, but they did. Yours, however, is nowhere to be seen. I'll tell Pat. She's trying to fix her comment system.
DeleteYou're right. This sort of thing is a time waster. I hate when it happens. Hopefully Pat will get it right.
Tried three times to leave a comment for Toi Thomas. I accepted the privacy policy, but it still won't accept my comment. Story about that Toi. I try to visit everybody. I thought your story was great, a very different twist on this prompt. Creative, imaginative, and even a little bit gruesome.
ReplyDeleteYes, FAE, sometimes there's a problem with comments and there's no reason why that we understand. I'll let Toi know...
DeleteYour comment took at Pat's...
Thanks Denise, after reading some of the other comments I went back to Pat's site to check and my comment DID show up there with no problem, go figure.
DeleteWow, What a Excellent post. I really found this to much informatics. It is what i was searching for.I would like to suggest you that please keep sharing such type of info.Thanks Viking Barbecue Repair in Los Angeles
