There is just too much fun to be had to stick to a single category! So get ready to start your day off with a bang 🙂 We will be whooping it up with Fun Friday Foto, Straight From The Editor #3, the Thanksgiving Contest!!!, and a secret!!!!! (I’m not going to manage Warm Fuzzies this week – I’m afraid of scaring you away with too much reading – but feel free to check out the other Warm Fuzzies :))
So let’s get comfy. This morning I am in the mood for something besides donuts so, in keeping with the season, we will be having pumpkin muffins hot out of the oven. Please help yourselves 🙂

I hope at least one of those gives you a story inspiration! If it does, please share 🙂 Now hop on over to Catherine’s and Stacy’s and see their hibernation photos, and then if you’d like to post one (remember, kid-friendly) you can put your link in the comments and everyone will come visit you.
I definitely want to read this! I am intrigued. The only advice I can offer is to break it up into two sentences like this: 13-year-old boy finds his voice as the new advice columnist for the school newspaper. But he discovers that some problems don¹t have easy solutions when he gets a letter from a kid who threatens to kill himself if the gay bashing doesn¹t stop. It makes it easier to read -- not such a run-on sentence -- and gives it slightly more punch.

Pumpkin muffins! YUM!
And those pictures are adorable.
Okay – I am currently searching for my planner to write about the Thanksgiving contest. With finals getting so close, I will never keep it in my head if I don't write it down. 🙂 FUN!
Pumpkin muffins sound and look delicious. Did you make them and if you did are you going to share the recipe? My favourite picture is the cure fox peeping out of the log. I keep meaning to join in with this photo posting but forget. Maybe next week!
I love those pictures. I also love that pitch, perfect or not. Sounds like a great read!
Oh you are mean keeping us in suspenders! I think we deserve real muffins delivered to our doors for that lol. They sure are making me hungry. Love your Thanksgiving competition. You're getting really good at comps 🙂 Is the linky list thing easy? Do you think I could manage it lol 😛
Love the feedback on that pitch. The same words were just stiwtched around and what a difference, very helpful!
Cute photos too 🙂 HAGW!
Ok, I love that squirrel picture, it's just too cute! Your Thanksgiving contest sounds fun..I'm going to have think about that one! And thanks so much for your super nice comments over at my site–you are so sweet Susanna!
Have a great weekend!!
Sounds fun, I can't wait to get started on the contest!
I also thought it was interesting that many of us were hung up on the age of the advice columnist and the subject matter. Erin didn't mention it. I really enjoy this process.
Love the hibernation photos. Sorry my turned into such a downer. Next time I'll try to fun it up.
Oh, another contest and a twist. Love this too.
Muffins, cute furry critters, a contest and a secret – is it legal to pack this much fun into one blog post??
Abby – I hope you found the planner – I'm looking forward to your entry!
Rosalind – well, I did make them, sort of… I confess I used a box mix. Yes. I am that cook.
Cynthia – so glad you enjoyed 🙂
Catherine – you might not want the muffins now that I've confessed I made them from a box 🙂 And yes, the linky thing is easy and you could do it – email me!
Coleen – he is cute, isn't he 🙂 I hope you'll think up an idea for the Thanksgiving Contest and enter! (and you're welcome :))
Jodi – welcome! And yay! Can't wait to read your entry 🙂
Stacy – yes, I thought that was interesting too. Looking forward to you entry 🙂
Cathy – no it is not legal, so don't tell! 🙂
LOVE the chipmunk! And your Thanksgiving contest prompt is great – can't wait!
I love your chipmink picture, and now I'm craving a pumpkin muffin! I love your Fun Friday Foto idea. Just posted mine. (Actually several-too difficult to choose!)
Julie – I love the chipmunk too – a critter after my own heart 🙂 I can't wait to see your contest entry! 🙂
Kelly – we're starting a chipmunk appreciation club here 🙂 Have a pumpkin muffin on me. I'm coming over to see your foto(s)!
Love pumpkin muffins, box mix or no box *wink*.
Loved the photos especially the chipmunk.
Would love to have a go at the Thanksgiving day story even though we don't celebrate it down here, but hey what a lovely way to keep up the writing skills and have fun.
Diane – I'm so glad you like my cooking 🙂 And definitely do the contest – it'll be fun and educational 🙂
With surgeries next week for both of us. I may not get the entry into the Thanksgiving contest. But I definitely will try. Love the contest. I found a hibernation photo but didn't rmrmber to post it. Life got in the way.
The chipmonk is my fav, too.
The pumpkin muffins look delish. Are they made with whole wheat flour? Can we have the recipe please?
New Follower.
Stopping by to have a look around. Great blog.

Such adorable photos! And congratulations Kim! Will have a think about the story contest. Not much of a kid's writer (as you know, a lot of my work is pretty grim) but will see if I come up with anything!
Clar – that doesn't sound good! I hope you're OK!
Elizabeth – welcome! and thanks so much! Alas, I don't have recipe for pumpkin muffins – these were made from a mix – I know! I know! Tsk tsk!
J.C. – I know kids' writing isn't really your thing… but it's always good to stretch 🙂
