Heyyyy friends! Happy Thursday! This week is our final Five Minute Friday link-up of 2021 before I take a two-week break, and my final "official" time hosting the #fmfparty Twitter party after years and years spending my Thursday evenings here. :-) How are you this week?

Writers . . . As we near the end of the year, I'd love to know: What did you learn about yourself as a writer this past year? #fmfparty #writingcommunity

#fmfparty friends: What are your favorite Christmas treats to bake?

Here's another "favorite" question for #fmfparty: What's your favorite children's Christmas book?

Well, for those of you who haven't heard, I've decided to discontinue hosting the weekly #fmfparty Twitter party on Thursday nights, but will be continuing the regular weekly FMF link-ups. It has been a joy gathering with you every week in this space for the last several years!

I'll be sharing this week's FMF writing prompt in my next tweet. We *will* have a link-up this week, then I'll be taking a two-week break (no link-up 12/24 or 12/31). Lord willing, our first link-up of 2022 will be January 7th. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! #fmfparty

Our final Five Minute Friday writing prompt for 2021 is: ANNOUNCE . . . Come join us for a fun, five-minute freewriting exercise! Link-up goes live at 10pm EST at fiveminutefriday.com and stays open all week! No excuses. ;-) #fmfparty #writingprompt #announce

Hi friends! I've been absent from Twitter for a long time, mostly because I forgot my password and was too stubborn to reset it. (Just realized my condundrum was unintentionally related to this week's FMF writing prompt.) ;-) Join the link-up here: fiveminutefriday.com/2022/08/11/fmf… #forget
