Alaskan Adventures

Hey everyone,

Sorry this message was late in coming but I’m out of town for ten days in Alaska. I meant to let people know there wouldn’t be any new stories before I left and just ran out of time. Posting will resume at the end of this week.

In the meantime, in celebration of my trip, the next themed prompt will be Frontier. Interpret it as you will, but stories should have something to do with the edge of civilization, wilderness, or being out of bounds.

I’m excited to see your stories. Submissions for this theme will be open until the end of August and I’ll be posting them in September.

Assuming I make it back at all! So far I’ve been face to face with a black bear and a moose (not at the same time) with more adventures still to come.

That is all.
