The exercise:
I'm going to interrupt Christmas Week to bring Out of The Woods to its conclusion, rather than wait for next week.
So. Let us see how things conclude.

The exercise:
With November heading out the door, let's get to Out of the Woods for the penultimate time, shall we?

The exercise:
A whole day earlier than the last possible day of the month to do it, let us return to Out of the Woods.
Managed to get my course assignment completed and submitted this evening, after spending a couple hours on it yesterday morning and three more this afternoon. I went into the office to do it, for ease of concentration and lack of child-sized distractions.
Looking forward to not being in the middle of elections the next time I have a major assignment coming due.

The exercise:
Once again on the last possible day of the month, we return to getting Out of the Woods.
I mean, our heroes are literally out of the woods now, but I think it's safe to say they are nowhere near being idiomatically out of the woods.

The exercise:
It is time for another last day of the month attempt to get: Out of the Woods.
Sunday July 31st, 2022
The exercise:
Let us celebrate Kat's and my 12th wedding anniversary by finally getting to July's installment of Out of the Woods.
Had intended to get to the yearlong story on Thursday but then it slipped my mind until after I'd posted something else. So, here we are!
(I'm actually scheduling this on Friday night before we leave Comox because I'm quite convinced I'll forget again and then we'll be in August)

The exercise:
Before I forget again, let us return to getting Out of the Woods.

The exercise:
Let's get the yearlong prompt into the middle section of the month, shall we?
It's time to get Out of the Woods.
Thursday March 31st, 2022
The exercise:
Another end of the month entry into the yearlong tale. Still nothing like a deadline to get me writing.
Time to get back to Out of the Woods.
And a happiest of birthdays to Kat. I made salmon and salad for dinner and we had a chocolate berry cashew cheesecake (which I most certainly did not make) for dessert and it was delicious.

The exercise:
Let us continue the yearlong prompt, and not a moment too soon. Let us continue our journey Out of the Woods.
Monday January 24th, 2022
The exercise:
We've been doing yearlong prompts since 2013, so the list of stories has grown too long to summarize as I usually do at the onset of the new prompt. Suffice it to say that between myself, Greg, and Morganna we have come up with nine story starters of a rather impressive variety. So what shall we do to keep things interesting this year?
How about some Daily Writing Practice nepotism?
I have asked my eldest sister Nicky (I have two older sisters. Sue is the middle child and I never, ever know how to refer to her - my younger older sister? Not that Nicky is likely a fan of being called the eldest. Or Nicky, for that matter. You should probably call her Nicole. I'm incapable of doing so, as I've called her Nicky my entire life and I'm not about to stop now.) to... okay, I got pretty wildly off track there. Allow me to try that again.
I have asked my sister Nicky to provide our opening for 2022. She has kindly accepted this dubious honor and has provided the below to get us started. So, without further ado or blathering or what not, let us get: Out of the Woods.
Nicky's:
My feet ached and my shoulders were rubbed raw but I could not stop a grin from spreading across my face. We had done it, we'd finally done the multi mountain traverse - so many miles, so much climbing, but we. Were. Done. My buddy was speeding up, as always, as we neared the trailhead parking lot. Both of us were more than ready for the clean clothes than we left in the car and to drop our packs. Getting our muddy boots off would be a nice bonus. I gave a short laugh and called forward.
"So, do you think the zombie apocalypse finally happened while we were off the grid this time?"
His laughter trailed behind him at my usual question as his steps led him faster and faster toward his truck. We'd find out soon enough, but I was always certain that I could handle anything after carrying everything I needed to survive on my back for days. The trail flattened out and I could see something glinting through the trees.
