I
know we've barely gotten over the Jolly Roger good time we had talking like
pirates last fall, but by gum, it’s Talk
Like a Grizzled Old Prospector Day!
Apparently,
a couple of fellers started the fun to mark the day of the first bony fide
nugget in that thar gold rush of Californee.
Right
about now I reckon you’re probably set to wonderin’ just how in tarnation
you’re going to celebrate.
Well,
don’t let the day hornswoggle ye. Purt’ near anybody can do it.
And
it comes in especially handy when cussin’ out editors with flair—
"Consarn
it, that dadburned sidewindin’ varmint done gave my tale the boot!"
But
don’t let a tough day on the claim get you down none.
Just
skedaddle on back to yer blank page and channel yer inner Yosemite Sam, Yukon
Cornelius, or Stinky Pete.
Then
write faster'n a jackrabbit on a hot rock…
And
you’ll be hittin’ pay dirt in no time!
PROMPT: It’s just
another day on the claim when “Eureka!" your prospector discovers…
A
portal to another universe?
An orphaned Sasquatch?
The
importance of bathing?
Dagnabbit,
write on!
