Part 1
New theme for April 2022:
A huge TY to my Twitter pals, Tuittu The Murkpunker, Briarpatchdude, RavenAngel888, and Maoubhao, for this month’s theme. Another fun one with lots of places to go!
We did have one special request from Tazreen Tasnim for a Vlad Daddy story. I think he def can fit the bill for this theme.

As I’m sure you can understand, some days the passion is hotter and other days I dig to find it. Sadly, the other days feel heavier to bear!

Gosh, I didn’t realize how long this challenge has been going on, but that is awesome! Congrats. Kuddos to you for all the hard work, time, and energy you put into this. I’ve sorely missed participating. RL threw me some pretty nasty curves that made my 2021 be the worst year I’d ever had. This year is MUCH better though, thank goodness. Plus, I got super disgusted with the forums a couple years ago and simply didn’t want anything to do with them. But I do want to get back into participating in this challenge, at least, so I’ll see what my muse has to offer for April.
Good luck to everyone and can’t wait to read your entries. 🙂
