100 words a day. Last month's batch is posted here.

As usual the first person who identifies the one-word theme for January will receive a prize.

i only got as far as the first ten days, but had to get ready for work. I'd say it has to do with light from darkness, both physical and metaphorical?

be well

Dang. I want to use a bunch of words.

But I'll go with "color".

LIGHT.

Light would be mny guess too, although I can't make it work for the entry for the 21st (unless we're supposed to count the use of "light-headed").

Congratulations, Lisa, you are the winner! I don't have your new mailing address, but if you give it to me by email, I will send you a prize! :-)

Oooo, Connor, you were so close I would have given you the prize if someone else hadn't given a more precise answer. The theme you named certainly ran through many of the days, but the word I had in mind throughout the month was light.

Re:

Another good guess, in fact I thought someone might see that one. The correct answer was light, but several times I talked about breaking it down into colours.

I'm a wordsmith, so you can count on me playing with them!

Re:

I didn't want to choose "light" because a) someone already had, and b) I noted that the color-talk seemed to be more consistent throughout the entries.

(Good thing I didn't post my first thought, which was "sanctuary-seeking", a far-too-facile term for what appeared to me to be a yearning toward some form of safe haven against outside forces beyond personal control.)

Re:

January certainly turned into a sanctuary-seeking month. The latter half, spent in Toronto with Danny, felt like a haven. I can see I'm going to have to choose more obscure themes to entertain you. ;-)

Unfortunately I didn't feel any 100-word inspiration to start off February, so it looks like I'll take a break for the month.

Yay! Let me know if you didn't get the address.
