Here we are again, another Friday. Where has this year gone? Well, looking at the calendar it is now late November, and the Americans are heading toward Thanksgiving. (Sorry, the Canadians have already had theirs and I don't mean to slight them, but I am horrible keeping up with everyone's holidays.) However, no matter where you might be it's getting close to the holidays and time with family. With that in mind you might have a reason to be thankful, for the close-knit ties, or maybe for not being with yours. Anyway on to the prompts. Prompt 280 – Creative Tag – Giving Thanks The holidays have rolled around again and you are back once more with your family. What are the things you give thanks for? Prompt 281 – Creative Tag – List of Words Use the following words in a story – turkey leg, cranberries, crushed flower, torn coat, and a football. Now because I decided to focus on longer stories that had begun as prompts I now have two weeks worth of prompts to choose from. There were some really wild stories that people should take a moment to read, but I do like to try and show new talent now and then. So this week's prompt comes to you from Daemok. She has woven together a new and interesting world. Have a peek. It was based off prompt 278 where the first line was - “Please, I can explain.” So what else happens between Six Fingers and Officer Thorin? Don't you want to know? Of course you do, so go read it here - http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/37944-prompt-278-creative/ Don't forget our other prompts which can be found here - http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/37945-prompt-279-creative/ - Really, read Mann's story at your risk. And then those tales of prompt 276 - http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/37908-prompt-276-creative/ - There are some sweet romantic tales. So there are plenty of new stories to read that came out of the prompts. Hopefully one of this week's will appeal to you and get you writing. Remember to always link your work if you post it on your own page. So my fellow GA members, please remember to write, read, and respond to these and other works on the site. 'Til next time, enjoy. - Wayne

Well no one can say you didn't take that idea and run with it. I'm not sure I would have wanted to ride on that but I think I would have paid good money to see the people who did.

Aww. That was sweet. I love a little romance now and then.

Hmm. Don't think that one will hit the recipe book.

My friends for their support, my father for surviving his surgery, and the rest of my family for being there. What are you thankful for?

Congrats. Mine vary depending on what is happening in my life, good, bad or just outright strange. So happy for you.

Tease! Damn it Cia, I want more. I growl at a few authors who usually don't like to write, but you have dozens of tales on your plate, however, it looks like you just gave yourself another. So curious.

Life has a way of going forward, even when we might be frozen and not paying attention. Please forgive me for being a bit out of it lately. I try my best not to let my daily life keep from doing the things I love or the things that are important to me. However, sometimes the daily life overwhelms everything else. I'll start with my father. Tuesday he went in for surgery on two aneurysms that have been growing for over ten years. His doctor stated that most people who have this happen within two years of their discovery have the surgery. Not my father. In fact, they discovered that these were ripe when he was sent for a bone density test. Anyway while in for the surgery they ran a number of tests and instead of relieving him of worry, added a few new facts for him to deal with. So it was discovered he has two more aneurysms, one in his stomach above the two he had, one in his leg, gall stones, and kidney stones. He finally came home today and is going to drive me insane. My back doesn't seem to be getting any better. If anything, it might be getting worse. I'm finding myself in pain more often. Guess that is something I am going to have to look into. My job has announced that they are joining the rest of the idiots and opening up on Thanksgiving evening. While the store opens at 6pm, employees will have to be there by four, which means leaving home by shortly after three. So no Thanksgiving meal for me if I get the opening shift. Funny but as a kid I can remember there wasn't even a thought of Christmas until you seen Santa on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Now there are Christmas decorations and sales in September. Halloween is still fighting to keep its day, but Thanksgiving is an afterthought. Even heard a few politicians say they want to end it as a national holiday because of how much money the government could save and it would guarantee that the parents would have baby sitters because the kids would still have school, and then they could go out to shop. Thanks, but I think they missed the whole meaning and the complaints. Anyway, I have tried to keep up with the prompts and the anthologies. With my various friends and team members falling apart, and my own situation a bit screwed up, my apologies for not getting my own work out on time. Hope you can all forgive me.

Dae, the prompts never close. Some weeks I have dozens of takers and others none at all. The old prompts offer a lot of variety. KC, only you would have read it that way. Trust me, I know there are more stories out there (I have two of my own but didn't think I should list them) so if an author wants to add to the prompt list of longer works let me know. And thank you Miy and Never. Nice to know I will have choices for next week.
