During the times of Greek Mythology, a child was born. Hmmmm. I love Greek Mythology. Â Hercules, Zeus, Hera. I loved creating a new goddess, Cat (short for Catlin) and I'm hoping you'll all join in on the fun. This will be a two part challenge. One for this week and one for next week.
Â
The Rules:
Keep in mind, this is a monitored group and there are only a couple of rules, which are:
Make sure you put this (WWE, 1/2/13,Greek Mythology) in your title.
Be sure to tag it with WWE, Gather Writing Essentials, Greek Mythology. Post to Gather Writing Essential.
I ask that you make your submission(s) by next Tuesday afternoon.
There is a limit of three submissions from each member per day. If you’re extremely prolific, spread out your work and post only three submissions per day.
Most important:
Put this challenge statement at the beginning or end of your submission so readers will know what you’re supposed to do and won’t think you’re crazy.
Challenge: Take a known Greek god/goddess or create a new one and tell us the story that created a child. The baby part's very important because next week's challenge will involve this baby. Â The child can be purely mortal, but in some way, a god/goddess should play into the story.

Will he be responding to this challenge? I'm so glad you like it and I'd love to read both your story and his.
A New Year prompt off the finest kind!
How is your wife doing now?
Kidding aside, she is walking without her boot and getting around just fine. I am looking forward to the spring when we can resume our long evening walks. Those walks together are a big part of our life.
This is a great prompt. I won't be able to submit for it this week. I have a new schedule and won't start writing with the WE prompts until middle of January but I will read the submissions.
My computer crashed and I had to get a new one. By the way I hate Windows 8! HATE IT
Don't forget - we're doing Twisted Shorties II. I'll be posting a heads up hopefully on Saturday with the official opening shortly thereafter.
Glad you like the prompt and hope all has settled down for you.
There is no reason why Microsoft can't maintain it's legacy user interfaces. Technically, it is good design to abstract the UI and the cost is minimal.
The only thing that explains it, is arrogance and lousy decision making - both of which have become a hallmark of Microsoft. After thirty years of using their products, I now avoid them like the plague.
IE gained market share, surprisingly in 2012.
I will never use 8.
