Welcome, javachik! Looking forward to reading your offerings to our deity drabbles.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Hi, javachik. Welcome. In addition to the weekly topic, people sometimes workshop whatever they're working on, but that has happened less, lately.
I tried to find GWW in the LJ communities but it's not coming up.Here's the LJ: [link]

Excellent. I'm all signed up. Officially. I even got the badge.
Bet you didn't know there were badges. And now I await next Monday.
Thanks, everyone.

And now I await next Monday.
You know, you're free to write something on this week's topic, if you like.
But you don't have to.

Welcome, java!
Like Teppy said, you can drabble the topic anytime up till the next one is posted, if you want to. Or you can post other writing. We're easy.

Okay. This is something I'm working on about the day I buried my dog.
The weed-strewn cliff broke right beneath my toes and I peered down into the dancing white caps and thought, this is just right. I shuddered as the wind hit me again, icy fingers at my neck, strangling me. Three layers of clothes and yet the chill penetrated with a force that matched only the sharp pains in my heart.
I took a step back and eyed the landscape. Searocket, curly dock and sea fig dot the plateau, and shrubby willows offer nothing against the wind; they are beaten and worn. Another rush of wind and sand jags me in the eye and I curse. 20 feet from the cliff is about right. The coarse sand gives way to dirt, good to dig in.
