Welcome to Sunday's Whirligig, a place for you and your muse to find inspiration, while The Sunday Whirl is on hiatus. Each Wednesday I will post 12 words with which you may create a poem, a short story, or some other piece of writing.
You may link your writing to this site beginning at midnight (Pacific Time) each Sunday. Please do NOT leave your link in the comments, but use the linking button, which will "magically" appear at midnight (Pacific Time) Sunday. The Inlinkz button will remain operable for two weeks. (If you leave your link in the comments, there it will stay, unless you come back and add the link yourself, using the InLinkz button.) Enjoy!
