I didn’t have a fun topic in mind for today’s post. I usually come up with something, whether it’s a photo prompt, talking about my day, etc. Today, I had nada, until I stood in my bathroom, getting myself ready to face my day.

Something in my routine reminded me of a didgeridoo. You know, that Australian wooden instrument that makes that deep, sonorous sound. I’ve included a quick clip from YouTube so you can listen to one being played if you’ve never heard the sound.

Your challenge today is to figure out what thing in my routine could possibly remind me of a didgeridoo. Leave a comment for a chance to win a FREE download of your choice from my backlist!  If you haven’t a clue, have fun with your answer anyway. There is no wrong answer!

Sure, I don’t have a 9 to 5 job anymore, but Fridays are still a special day of the week in the Devlin house! Why?

1. The kids can see the light at the end of the tunnel! They live for Fridays. They wake up with a little more pep in their steps because they know they only have to muddle through one more day of school assignments (all four do online school) and tomorrow they can sleep in!
2. Parents see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just one more day of pushing kids to finish up their assignments, and they can sleep in, too!
3. Friday nights are usually movie nights. We have a dinner everyone enjoys then we settle in on the couches for family fun night.
4. We talk about what kind of fun things we can do over the weekend. Yes, there are chores to catch up on, but we do try to find something fun and safe to do, like make a trip to the open, airy flea market! (That’s my hope for this weekend, anyway.)

What about you? Are Fridays a day where hope springs eternal that you’ll get a chance to relax a bit and do something fun? For a chance to win a free download, let me know whether Friday is a special day of the week for you or just another day? And let me know if you’re doing anything fun this weekend!

Do you need to know anything else about this story? I mean, seriously? Marti Wells is going to have the time of her life climbing this tree! Mmm-hmm.

Have you read my bounty hunter stories? I love getting my guys and girls out into the woods on a chase. It’s like doing your morning constitutional to get your blood going (for me, climbing the stairs—LOL). Yeah, get them into the woods so you can see your heroes in action. The opening of Hardman is no different, and yet, this takedown has a little more spice than usual. I’ve posted the scene on Hardman‘s book page.

Follow the link below and enjoy! Then come back and tell me whether you’ve met any of the other characters in the scene before (which stories have you read)? It’s okay to say you haven’t taken that dumpster dive into pure action-adventure adrenaline, yet. LOL. One commenter will get his or her choice of one of my previous Montana Bounty Hunter books!

I bought this little brainstorming tool years ago at some writers’ conference. “Story Cubes” is (that looks wrong, but I promise it’s not) a brainstorming game. You roll the dice and whatever pictures appear face up are the ones you use to riff off a story.

Here’s the roll…

Do any of these symbols tell you anything? You can pick some or use all of them. Tell me a story, or just a glimmer of an idea, for a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card!  

Psst! Look at yesterday’s blog, too, because there are many open contests! Enter while you still can!
