Welcome to Free Write Friday! My name is Mark and I am honored this week to be guest hosting #FWF. As a regular contributor to #FWF Kellie has graciously allowed me to step in while she deals with the poignant enormity of life experience.
New here? Read the intro. Everyone else, let’s get started.
Here is your prompt – let’s see what magic the autumn Hunters or Blood Moon conjures up!
VegaStar Carpentier captured this image of a Hunter’s Moon from Paris, France on Oct. 30, 2012 using a Canon EOS 1000D. October’s Full Moon is called the “Hunter’s Moon” or “Blood Moon”. It is the first Full Moon after the Harvest Moon (the Full Moon nearest the Autumnal equinox) and it gets its name from hunters who tracked and killed their prey by autumn moonlight, stockpiling food for the winter ahead and marked hunting season in North America.
Things to remember:

Wow! Is was simply an honor to supply the prompt but the response has been nothing short of phenomenal! Thank you all! Kellie is right this is a very special community we (she) has set in motion that just continues to grow with support and encouragement for each other.
My simple submission is here > http://markschutter.com/2013/10/18/the-blood-moon/ and yes it really was a free write, even though I knew of the prompt before it was posted! 🙂 I am off to read everyone’s post now, wishing everyone a very happy weekend!
Morning everyone. 🙂 Love the prompt Mark! I have to post and run, but I will be back to read the others. Have a great weekend!

What a brilliant FWF Friday – so glad to be back!
Off to create 🙂 -well done Mark for guest hosting.
Thanks for the prompt, Mark, incredible shot of such a moon. Being Spring here, I associated it in a way with a seed moon too, though not directly as I had been wondering sort of ending to use for a short story. Thanks again!

I’m on my way to Nashville as I write this and I wanted to check in and see how everyone was doing. I am both surprised and thrilled at the response to Mark’s prompt. Thanks so much to everyone for keeping fwf alive in my absence and again to Mark for so graciously taking on the role of M.C. for me while I’m away. I am truly pleased to be a part of this community we have created each Friday.
Big hugs and much love to you all.
Kellie
Have a safe trip and it is a pleasure to have taken a part in it. You have a great group of followers. They are very wonderful.
Be safe and know you are in our thoughts and prayers!
Love to you Kellie …. I have been so busy recently that I had to shelve all challenges. I really missed fwf. Then I popped over and found your updates …. Thinking of you. It is great that Mark can MC in your absence.The FWF community is a strong one!
Thanks, Mark. I’m combining this awesome prompt with one from Lillie McFerrin — Malice. Hope it works! Here’s “Under a Blood Moon.” http://athingforwordsjahesch.wordpress.com/2013/10/18/blood-moon/
Great picture, and good to inspire for this month.
Here’s my try.

Thanks Mark for filling in. I think I’ll edit it at some point soon, to include a link to your blog if that’s okay. Here is my contribution. I have a feeling I plagiarized something but can’t remember what.

Hi Kellie
Hi, here is my link http://wp.me/p3dPsw-ph I wanted to say that I was told not to use up all my writing so this is my last shared writing. Thinking of you Kellie. Thank you Mark. I do enjoy them. They are great and very inspiring. I may sneak in the odd one but will try to visit your work nevertheless. It is very fun. Love SLS Oborowsky
It was very nice of you to step in so Kellie can be with her family. The image is amazing. This prompt brings many things to mind.
Congrats Mark!!! Here is my posting for that awesome picture.
