Well that was annoying.
I stayed up late last night perfecting the perfection that was my writer’s workshop post and then I hit publish and everything went to hell in a handbasket. Not only did it not publish. It did not save. And I could not log in to my dashboard or even to my site. I’m thinking something was up with the hosting…maintenance maybe?? And I hit publish at the exact wrong time. If that was the case it would have been nice to get some kind of email letting me know that that was going to be the exact wrong time to publish.
I’ll rework it and post it later and I’ll keep the linky up for two days in case this just screwed up your whole life.
IT’S NOT MY FAULT!
Now it’s your turn!
Choose a prompt, post it on your blog, and come back and sign Mr. Linky. Be sure to sign up with the actual post URL and not just your basic blog URL (click on the title of your post for that URL). For good comment karma try to comment on the three blogs above your name!!
The Prompts:
1.) The heart that just wouldn’t quit.
2.) Relay an entertaining conversation or string of emails you recently had with someone.
3.) Open your picture folders…find a random “February” picture from a past year and tell a story.
4.) Childhood memory time: Write about something you loved to do as a child.
5.) “The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned” ~ Maya Angelou -Now write.

Sorry about the trouble, I hate when that happens!!
By the way No Mr. Linky
It’s up now! :) I hope this isn’t a sign of the kind of day I’m going to have…a comedy of errors kind of day. Oh boy. Maybe I should start drinking now?
Oh no! That stinks! We’ve all had it happen, though, so don’t sweat it. Can’t wait to read it later!!!
This is my first time around! I am so sorry but after linking I realized that I did not link to my direct post. Duh. But it does have the button next to it and its the second one on my front page entitled “Gray Areas”.
No linky but once its available I’ll add it!
Don’tcha just love techy problems! Yuck I’m so computer dumb. Love the prompts this week!
I was trying to get onto your site last night and it wouldn’t open so something was definitely up. Sorry you lost your post. That stinks. I felt kind of weird being the first to link in this morning. I thought about coming back later. Do you think I have issues? (of course I do. we all do–right?)
That sucks! And I’m sure the original was the most witty post you’ve ever created…that’s what I say to myself when stuff like that happens to me!
That sucks! You had me worried for a sec, I had to check multiple calendars because I thought I was going insane, which I probably still am, but at least I know what day it is again!
So sorry!
Don’t you hate it when internet eats you best work????
Glad you got it up and running, I can’t wait to read the post!
I was beginning to get worried! =)
Ok I will be back with what my twisted little mind can come up with.. Lol j/k I am usually not that twisted.. well at least not in public..usually..
Well, that stinks!
My first time doing this one…I had a blast! Thanks Mama Kat!
This was my first time participating as well. :-)
I really enjoyed it! Thanks much. That really stinks you lost your post. :-(
this is my first time participating and i have to tell you that it’s probably the most boring thing I’ve written – LOL! But I will come back for more topics and hopefully get better at this! :) thanks for hosting!
I tend to copy/paste what I write into Word just in case stuff like this happens!
That’s smart but also maybe slightly paranoid.
Hahahahahaha! I’m sad… And untrusting.
Yeah, that kinda sucks. So many of us were waiting on the results of the baby mouse giveaway….NOT!
Don’t you just LOVE it when a post craps out? And they’re always the most loveliest ones. Internet: 1, blogger: 0.
Whew, I’m glad you are all right. I was wondering what happened because I was anxious to link up. Came over to the library to do it at lunch time. I hate when I lose my posts like that! It’s very annoying indeed. I had trouble getting my Firefox browser to open last night. Had to restart my computer three times before it finally came up.
I kept checking and checking and checking because I just knew that Mama Kat had to be here somewhere. Then the momma kicked in and I started worrying if something happened to you. Yes, I’m a freak like that.
I knew that there must be some reason. Hope it’s all okay now!
Heck! Still can’t find the linking gadget!
Hallelujah! Got there in the end!
Boo to technical problems, but the anticipation of reading your post rocks!
Speaking of technical problems, I can’t get your button code to work on Blogger.
Christy
i couldn’t get your button code to work either but I could be doing something wrong…
Oh no! I hate when stuff like that happens. Sometimes when I get really paranoid, I copy and paste and keep it in my clipboard, just in case!
I’m going to be working on my post later tonight. I’ll be back to link up!
MamaKat, seems like I’ve got some button code issues too. Am I doing something wrong? I’m supposed to copy and paste the code in the HTML section of my post, right? Help a sista out, pleeze.
I had serious trouble with blogger last night too. Must have been something in the air.
I think we’ve all had moments like that. So frustrating.
I think I did this correctly although the link on my page back here is not showing up correctly… help! This is the link to mine: http://pegbur7.wordpress.com/2010/02/18/over-the-river-and/
This is my first time and it was so much fun! I look forward to trying again next week.
Okay, that just sucks.
Justine :o )
Glad I wasn’t the only one with ummm issues with the post. I hate it when things like that happen — and yes, I’ve been there. I feel you pain.
By the way, you need to add one last at the end of your code for your widget. Or at least it does when I use it on my site.
My first try at your Writer’s Workshop! I will totally be back for more!
It wasn’t you that screwed me up…it was me….and Blogger lol they went and added pages and I’ve been distracted fixing up all my blogs. But yay! I can write a post tomorrow and you’ll never know that I skipped every blog except mine since yesterday morning hahaha
Happy Friday!!!! Just figured I’d be random. lol. :0)
Sorry you lost your worrk :(. But I LOVED the puppy idea. I caved and let my son get one last year … been the BEST decision ever! (We made that decision 4 times before and ended up giving away said decisions!)
What a pain!! Grr. I probably refreshed your blog 2 dozen times so I could link up before leaving. LOL
I know I’m a bit late, but I just cottoned on to this the other day.
It’s my first time… Be gentle.
