Prompt #198: Zombie
Because my life is incredibly busy, I make sure that I have some kind of planning to get all my reading and writing (and editing!) done. I start reading Wicked Wednesday posts on Monday evening, but last week Monday there was no post linked. On Tuesday evening, I checked again and there still were no posts to read. I was shocked. Only then I realized that I haven’t been tweeting about the prompt. I immediately scheduled several tweets for the prompt, but this made me wonder… do you rely a lot on the tweets to remind you about the prompt, or were you all just late to write and link your posts? Are you subscribed (see sidebar) to new Wicked Wednesday posts? I would love to hear your answers to these questions…
But, for now, the top 3…
Top 3
Pineapple, anyone by Lord Raven
Have you ever looked for specific signs while doing your shopping? Signs of someone who wants to make contact? Read this. You will never look at a pineapple in the same way again!
Seven Days Ago by Measha Stone
When I started reading this, I was looking for something weird, but go so caught up in the story that I forgot about the prompt. Frequently you read a story and see the twist coming. In this case, I didn’t see it until it happened. Great story, go read!
A darker shade of subspace by The Wank of the Day
Chloë writes a raw and open post about how her desires have progressed during her pregnancy, about what she craves, what she wants. The sheer honesty in her words makes this an outstanding post.
Prompt
Are you a fan of zombie movies? If yes, why? If no, why not? Share your thoughts on zombies and for those of you who love to write zombie erotica… this is the moment to dazzle everyone!

Hey there,
To answer your questions above, I tend to procrastinate way too long on all my writing deadlines. Wednesday is a built-in writing day in my work week, so I tend to wait until the day-of to whip up my WW posts. All this to say, I don’t use twitter for meme reminders.
I’m so sorry you had a shock last week! I love WW & am so grateful to you for hosting! xoxx M
Thanks hun, I love to hear how others do it, how and when they write 🙂
Love that you join in every week xox
No prompts from twitter but my new writing life of 2106 is orderly. When Saturday arrives, I check your prompt. Then, I open a word document and type the prompt on the top with due date. It stays open on the computer as my invitation to write. Sometimes inspiration happens fast, sometimes a walk on the beach prompts an idea to grow, and other times nothing sprouts. It feels organic and WW is part of my new routine, reading and writing. Thanks for all your efforts. 🙂 d.
Thank you for sharing your process 😀
I only remember to check my E40 gmail about once every 2 weeks so subscribing wouldn’t help me – I definitely rely on your tweets to see the prompts. xx
Thank you hun! I suspect that more people rely on the tweets and will make sure that I schedule them in time for every one to see 🙂 xox
I get your email on Saturday, and head over to check the top 3 and the new prompt. I write it sometime before Wednesday afternoon, and link it when I get it up on Wednesday.
WW is awesome 🙂
Thank you for your feedback, Sammi, and thanks for always participating in WW 🙂 xox
Wicked Wednesday is part of my publishing calendar, so if I have something to say and it fits the prompt, I make sure its published on Wednesday (I know I don’t have to use the prompt, but my Type A self can’t help it). Because I don’t publish a WW post until Wednesday (local time, lol), I don’t link to it until then. But the subscription or tweets don’t matter because it’s in my schedule and on my radar already. I know that every week has a Wednesday and that means it has a Wicked Wednesday. No reminders needed, at least not for me. 🙂
But I understand the shock. I’m used to posts going up for Masturbation Monday by Sunday, and I’ve reached Monday morning with only 1 or 2 before which surprised me. Thankfully, by the end of the day, more people had joined.
Thank you for your view on this and sharing how you do it. I too have a planning I follow. Without it I would not even know where to start…
