Fire

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach.
​The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours. 
― Ayn Rand

It's winding down to a quiet end of the year for me, especially compared to the hustle of several months ago. I expect that December will continue to be calm and everything will roar to a start in January of 2019 so I'm relishing these last bits of quiet.

And of course I'm writing this post and realizing that it's the first Sunday of December and that means it's a prompt week for Sinful Sunday. True to form, I've not checked in on that prompt at all and I'm completely unprepared. It's far too late to do something about that now and as Molly points out, this prompt is hard to do with a camera phone tho I would have enjoyed trying.

The monthly Sunday prompts are a really fascinating way to push photography skills and I think I'll make it a 2019 resolution to follow all of them. My camera skills could use a work out and I'm sure they would only improve from the exercises Molly creates, much like my writing skills benefitted from the smut marathon. 

But despite my absent careless ways, Molly published her list of top 100 sex blogs of 2018 this week and I'm on it! I can hardly believe it. I'm in the extraordinary company of so many incredible writers and photographers, several of whom were in the final round of the smut marathon this week! Go read their stories and check out their blogs and marvel, as I always do, at the breadth and richness of human sexuality.

I wish everyone a glorious December and I hope you all find ways to celebrate the end of 2018.
