Without doubt 2017 has been the worst year of my life, so I am certainly going to try to put the mirabilis back into 2018.<br /><br />I have had a busy December, which has found me quite out of the loop in terms of my writing. Your prompt provides much needed motivation.<br /><br />Thank you for hosting on the final day of the year.Kerry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720862912375945249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-49425442755593595572017-12-30T20:50:55.347-06:002017-12-30T20:50:55.347-06:00I am submitting a "manifesto" I wrote fo...I am submitting a "manifesto" I wrote for another prompt site after an ugly contretemps with one of the so-called "poets" who posted on that site.
