I love when my call for 100 word stories inspires happy and positive stories! Helps to counterbalance my own morbid ones, for sure! I also have a notebook in preparation for October, though it’s nothing like you’ve just described. I feel I must up my journal game! lol
Thanks Erica! And I have been sooo inspired this week, having written a 100 word story every morning! Not all published here mind you, but written all the same! Maybe I'll get round to posting them soon... 🤔
I adore maps ... with so much electronic navigation available to us, we seem to have lost the art of using them. It makes me think that JoJo and I should try a bike route using just maps and our noses! Love that opening "A musty, earthy smell arises as I unfold, my paper crackling with the unfurling. My fold lines are delicate from years of creasing."
Ooh Debs, I am obsessed by maps… I literally have to avoid picking one up unless I know I have time to lose. Your words are giving me such an urge to pull out my box… xx

Every day is a fantastic effort! I am very tempted I must say 😊

So glad the idea struck a chord
I *much* prefer paper maps over digital ones - as you can probably tell! I'd love to hear of your adventure with a paper map!
Your idea did strike a chord, and I've written a story every day since you suggested if. Just not posted here! So thank you!
I am going to make a point of finding some local maps. We'll be sure to write up the trip when we do it.
Sometimes, writing for ourselves is THE most important writing. So pleased the words are flowing for you. And the joy!

Well now. Now that your guests have left, why don't you go and get your box now, and indulge yourself in some mappy stuff? 😊 🗺️
Don’t tempt me Debs..! 😂
