Tweet Tales Tuesday Week 243 + Happy New Year!
January 4, 2017
Happy New Year! Freya and I both hope your 2017 is off to a wonderful start!
Happy New Year Freya
I know, I know, it’s been too long since I posted. Over three months in fact. Yikes! And my tweet tales have mysteriously disappeared from Twitter. Oops! It’s funny, when I was doing a tweet tale every day, I never missed a day in four years, but when I shifted to once a week, I was often a day or two late until I just … stopped. I guess it’s easier to maintain a habit when it’s an everyday thing.
 
Anyway, I didn’t intend to stop blogging or posting tweet tales. But my September got crazy (all good things – a writing retreat, travelling to visit family, various projects) so I ended up missing a week. And then another week. And then I decided I needed an extra awesome post to make up for those missing posts but didn’t have time to do an extra awesome post. And then as the weeks passed, I thought I needed to do tweet tales for all the missing weeks in one post to break even but that seemed so daunting that I never sat down to do it. Next thing I knew, it was Thanksgiving and all the holiday chaos started. So at that point I decided to quit stressing about it and start with a clean slate in 2017. So here I am! 
 
I got a book from my parents for my birthday called THE WEIRD WORLD OF WORDS (by Mitchell Symons), so I’m pulling words from there for this year’s 15 Minute Tweet Tales. Let’s start off the New Year with:
 
15 Minute Tweet Talesadelaster – meaning ‘unknown star’ in Greek, this is the name given to newly discovered plants awaiting classification by botanists. 
 
1/3 – She clutches the adelaster she found to her chest, certain it'll bring her acclaim. Just funny-looking poison ivy, only brings a rash. 
 
Play along and write tweet tales for the above words. If you’re willing to share, post them on twitter with the hashtag #15tt or add them below in the comments because I’d love to read them. Any thoughts about this week's tweet tales or #15tt words?
