The first one is: http://caroleschatter.blogspot.co.nz/2012/01/cryptic-crosswords-solving-hints-1.html<br />It has now evolved into a daily series. I find it great fun - much better than ordinary crosswords.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985978221627051493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573858483799418922.post-26439794665473783572012-03-22T18:25:25.222-07:002012-03-22T18:25:25.222-07:00Hey J.L. - nice to 'meet' you as well!

Both are wonderful ways to limber up the mind and the fingers. You (the writer) never knows where they will end up with a prompt. I started my first book with a free write that kept going and going. I realized at page fifty, it was a story.brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480258485472568272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573858483799418922.post-73249507436695379702012-03-22T12:27:52.682-07:002012-03-22T12:27:52.682-07:00Your blog is going on my daily read.
