Words for Wednesday Prompts - Feb 18, 2026

This February, I am the host for Words for Wednesday. Words for Wednesday is started by Delores and continued by Elephant's Child who sadly passed away. River at Drifting through life is our new coordinator but the prompts are provided and hosted by various people and hosted on various blogs. The aim of Words for Wednesday is to encourage us to write using some or all of the prompts.

This week's prompts are: 
1. kerplunk
2. erase
3. meek
4. plead
5. tenacious

Charlotte's color for February is Electric Rose (#f00699) which you can see it better here.

You may write your piece in the comments or post it on your blog. If posting on your blog, please leave a direct link to the post so we can all visit you. Have fun writing!

  6. I know I've commented before but never looked into it in detail.
    So, if I understand this right, we get the words on the Wednesday and then create something with it and post it. Do we post it on the same day or do we have a couple of days. Or are the words available before.

    1. Marianne: Usually the words/prompts are posted on Wednesdays but I post them on Tuesdays because other people are a day ahead with different time zones. You can post your writing on Wednesday or any day after but before the next prompt is posted. I hope that explains it.

      Thank you for dropping by. Have a lovely day.

    2. Thanks for that information, Lissa. I am not always the fastest, depending on my health and appointments but I will try to check out your page on Tuesdays.
