Welcome to Mayhem & Madness.
This event happens every Monday. It’s when you dedicate the entire day strictly to writing fiction. Try to turn off email, social media–anything that distracts you and just write.
The time can be spent outlining characters, plots, scenes, etc. or let your characters, plots and schemes run amuck and enjoy the Mayhem & Madness.
The focus is devote the day to your favorite work of fiction in progress.
Enjoy and share your progress throughout the day in comments.
Be sure to visit the Free Reports page. I recently added a
Freelance Success Report for you to download. Enjoy! :)
Check out More Writing Recommendations by me.

Okay Lois, you may be the only attendee for awhile until we get this promoted. I'm sure Maria will drop in too.
I'm not the early bird lately, but hopefully people will find this eventually.
Patti: I'd sure love to use that photo (above) as a writing prompt! :D

Lois, feel free. It's a free photo from sxc.hu. :)
Oh, cool! :D I need to sign up with them again. I don't have my membership info anymore. :(

I don't know. It couldn't hurt, but you can borrow this image for now. I don't even remember which search criteria I used to find it. LOL
I have a membership with them, I just don't have the info anymore. I don't mind signing up again. They have some awesome photos! :D
And now I think I can finally go offline and do some W.R.I.T.I.N.G.! LOL
By the way, a friend of mine just read my short story, “Indebted,” and he LOVED IT! :D

I'm here but not working on fiction today, although I do have my notes on Lois' story emailing to her. :)
I got your notes, but haven't read it yet. I'll answer after I'm done writing for the day. :)
Because of our situation (the job loss), I can't devote the entire day to fiction, but I can spend some time on it. I'm shooting for 1,500 words, and if I can write more, I'll be ecstatic. ;)
Good luck, all! :D

Good luck Lois! I know you can do it when you set your mind to it. :)
Thanks, Maria. I'm getting a later start than I thought, but soon…very soon… ;)
I got a very late start, and wanted to do some light editing (thanks to Maria's notes :)), and I'm proud to say that I've edited in 2,269 important words! :D I'm done writing for the day, but I'll be writing more tomorrow…starting where I left off. ;)

I think the comments are backwards. I wonder if I can change the order of them? They do not fall in line with the order they came in. LOL.
Congrats Lois! Hopefully we can get more people involved in Mayhem & Madness.
That would be cool! :)
