CCC#64
Welcome to my weekly challenge—open to all—just for FUN, FUN, FUN
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
- An answering photo
- A cartoon
- A joke
- A caption
- An anecdote
- A short story (flash fiction)
- A poem
- A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
- An essay
- A song—the lyrics or the performance
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
- Your creative offering is indeed yours
- Your writing is kept to 150 words or less
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN.

Head into publishing. Plus I had that minor op this afternoon… removal of the blob. Doctor allowed me to see it. Nah, nothing like the blob. But I won’t upset you by describing it. Yet you can be sure, it will appear in my writing somewhere.

I am not even worried.
And oh… now you have my mind wondering just what kind of blob it is, though I shall refrain from prying.

I like this picture, the sculpture, and the colors in the rock wall.
I read the synopsis of your first book. sounds interesting.
Did you write the whole series first before you published. Smart. Better to keep details straight.
I’m doing something similar with my fantasy series. I working on the timeline or rather timelines. Some one erases the original timeline then some one else resets it, which causes a whole new set of problems and a new series.

The story in its entirety (now divided across five boks) was written several yers back. But too word-heavy for a debut writer. So I posted it to blog in instalments. Then two years ago I decided to e-publish. I did a lot more work to the books. Oh, five books… a nightmare to coordinate the publicity and promotion. But I’m not looking to make money. Just to see it out there,
I wish you well with yours. keeping track of timelines is key to a long series.

I looked you up an Amazon. did you know there is a Christina Kemp.
I have the same problem with too many Phyllis Moores. Now I know better.
Make sure to distinguish your self from Christina Kemp. People are easily confused.

I searched for a Christina Kemp… two books come up, neither gives ms kemp as the author; perhaps editor? Anyway, they’re nothing like I write. But thanks for your concern

If you’re referring to the monument and the homage etc, you’re no less informed than me. Okay, I’m aware of the town’s connection with Nelson (difficult to remind ignorant of it) and I’ve know since forever of our Danish connections. But the battle and the monument. Nah. We have a column, erroneously called Nelson’s Column (in fact it’s proper name is Britannia’s Monument) but that;s all

LikeLiked by 1 person
🙂 I think that the ‘difference’ is that some people (you, I) are curious and enjoy discovering and filling up little (or not so little) holes in knowledge, and then there are those who are … um … threatened … by the notion that they don’t know everything “even better than the generals…” (ahem).

I like the discussion… and I have to admit, whoever erected it, put it in a place where few people pass on foot on a daily basis. Yet in fairness, it’s just off the quay where Horatio Nelson moored his warships. So, it’s relevant
