Word for Wednesday is a challenge that was started a long time ago. Now it has turned into a movable event with Elephant's Child as our coordinator; and the Words provided by a number of people.
But now no longer. Never again will she give us the prompts with a gentle reminder about remembering to have fun, correct my errors, praise my tales and ask for more. Elephant's Child is the main reason I ever made it this far with my tales about Susan, and if I ever get to publish them, she'll be having a honourable mentioning in the book!
Today the Words, provided by Sean Jeatings, should have been on her blog. But they are not.
If they show up somewhere, a story might be written, but so far - emptiness.
Elephant's Child's death leaves a big, empty space in the Blogosphere and in our lives.
UPDATE
River has, since I wrote this post, published Sean Jeatings words on her blog. They are:
Hear
Modern
Influenza
Physical
Organs
Original
Pea
Human
Rather
Size
Let me see if any writing will happen

October 1 question - What is the most favourite thing you have written, published or not? And why?My answer - This is a question that for me is impossible to answer. I never published anything and what I like to read - written by others or by myself - depends on my mood. But right now, still discombobulated after Elephant's Child's demise, and some private matters (non-lethal, just a royal P.I.T.A) I'd go with the piece about the naming of the dragons.
My heart is aching, too. Even if there are no words, I'm going to say a few words about Sue on my post tomorrow.
SvarSletNo words often turn into many words after crying has been done. Beuatiful tribute.
SletI don't know what to think but I'm blanking out a bit by Elephant's Child's passing. Seeing those lovely tribute to Elephant's Child means she was someone we will all missed even those like me who never even met her.
SvarSletWhatever you posted on your blog is considered published at least to a lot of people so considered your tales of Susan published even in this somewhat blog format.
I think it's hard to say what you have written as a favorite because you are biased of your own creation, am I right? I know I'm biased but maybe it's my ego talking.
Have a lovely day.
Biased ... we all are, but as I said on your blog it is dependant on both the distance in time from what you wrote, and on your state of mind in the moment.
SletPublished, I always take to mean on paper ;) I'm oldfashioned theat way.
I'm glad you said something! I didn't know she'd passed. *sigh* (I only hit the blogosphere once a month.) She was one of the great one.
SvarSletShe was one of the great ones, so true.
SletOh, gosh! I didn't know Sue died. I'm so, so sorry. I participated in Words for Wednesday occasionally, usually when it was on her blog, and it was always fun.
SvarSletI'm sad to bring you the news. But as we continue the Words for Wednesday, I hope you're going to participate at least occasionally.
SletI have several favourites among pieces I have written, but nothing has ever been published.
SvarSletAs Lissa says blog-publishing counts too, and some of your W4W stories are good!
