Phew...

I've posted my Back to Middle Earth Month story to the community ready to be 'unveiled' on March 12th. I think I followed all the instructions...

I think I need a glass of wine after that - posting was almost as difficult as writing it, making sure I followed all the instructions plus making sure the recipe format was OK, and the photo I added... (My prompt was The turning of the year brings feasts and holidays. It's time to enjoy the bounty that was saved for the winter. Create a story or a work of art featuring a Winter seasonal food. Bonus for including a recipe. - but how I answered it will only be made public in another 6 days time!)

And - a small sign of spring, at last!

Figuring out this year's challenge rules is a work of art in itself!

I could just cope with 'pick a prompt and write for it. Post on the right day.' But then it occurred to me that even posting was quite complex, so I decided that posting in advance, for them to uncover it on the day, might be best.

The 'other people can post, too,' bit confused me completely - do you post the other stories only after the date of the prompt? On the day of the prompt? Etc.

You can post the stories any time you wish, but they will not be revealed until the next Saturday. I don't think there is any rule about which prompts come out on which dates, but the whole thing makes my head swim. I admit I prefer a daily prompt to take or leave and a daily banner you could win if you choose the prompt!

I rather liked that the whole month was up well in advance, and I only felt I needed to pick one - the previous versions have all been rather intimidating!

I'm trying to have my cake and eat it by choosing any prompts that appeal to me as they are posted.
