See Pegman’s last post here: Farewell!
It’s the end of an era. No more weekly What Pegman Saw stories, oh no! I’m so sad to see this wonderful writing prompt end, and I’m profoundly grateful to Josh and Karen for keeping it up for as long as they did. Three and a half years went by so fast, somehow!
I’ve been so busy with work lately — not to mention long interruptions due to eye surgeries and recovering from them — that I haven’t had much time to write. Pegman has been my prod and my excuse on a regular basis. Now I’ll have to find another writing prompt family. But not this week. HUGE deadline at work, so me and my whole team are drowning in it practically 24/7.
Hope to see you all again soon. Happy writing, happy reading, and take care!

Despite I’d stopped contributing, it is sad to know it’s the end

I wasn’t able to contribute every week because of work, but I managed most weeks. I will definitely miss it! Once I get out from under this latest crazy deadline, I’ll need to consider what to do next…

I hope so. It will have to be put off for now, given my other obligations…

It’ll come. Be patient. Look at me, I only had to get ill and retire first. But I did find my way eventually 🙂

And good for you, finding a new path! I just hope I can find a pathway to getting more writing done *before* retirement, which is currently scheduled for “never”.

I had to be incapacitated to do it. Then, oh frustrations when I was officially retired and I still was ill.

Being ill is awful. Good on you for finding the silver lining and turning your ordeal into an opportunity to write.

I haven’t had the time to contribute but sad that this is ending. It was a great opportunity to write.

Definitely a great opportunity. Especially for me — it was so perfect, being able to choose any image that was Eneana-friendly, and getting a little touristy tour while I was at it.

So sorry this is ending for you and the others. I always enjoyed what came out of the prompts. But who knows where this will lead? I know Joy that you are bursting with ideas, so you’ll find another way to wake the muse. Until then… good luck to you and your team with completing your work project.

Thanks Louis, we are working away super hard over here, whew! Taking a short break to catch up before diving back in. I’m always bursting with ideas, yes, but I found that having this regular prompt was very motivating to corral those ideas into an orderly format. I’m not sure I’ll find another one that’s so perfectly suited for me, between the timing (Saturday morning!), the wonderful flexibility (and yet guidance) on what images to use, and the relatively small family of contributors (which resulted in “enough” other people reading my story without me having to read “too many” other people’s stories and comment on them every week). Well, we’ll see. The great thing about working on a huge project with a looming deadline is the freedom to put off all the other decisions and tasks. No time now!

Hope you’re well, Joy! This semester really slugged me, but I’m hoping 2021 will be better..especially if the boys can return to school. 🙂

I’m hoping 2021 will be better too — for all of us! I have been trying to catch up on personal stuff (and sleep) after months of nonstop long hours and stress at work. Feeling pretty overwhelmed still, especially knowing all the work (and stress) that’s waiting when we all return to work soon. But I’m hoping to be able to carve out more time for writing and blogging… Given that I’ve been doing basically ZERO, the only way to go is up!

I know just what you mean! Even during this “break,” I’ve had students from last term emailing me about grades while students from next term emailing me about the class. UGH. We all need a better year ahead!
