Ten years is a very long time to do something, at the same time, each and every week. Looking back, I don’t think I have achieved that with anything during my adult life. But I know someone who has… Marie Rebelle with her popular meme Wicked Wednesday.
I was going to look back on my last ten years but really didn’t feel emotionally strong enough to delve into all the ups and downs a post like that would warrant. On a very positive note I did break out of my greenhouse which enabled me to fly a little. Starting this blog in 2017 and finally living more for me, than others.
If you want to know more about my life, you can find lots here on my blog.
Ten to Eleven
So I decided to instead create a tribute to Marie and Wicked Wednesday by asking 10 bloggers/writers, who over the years have all participated in the meme, to list a few words that describe themselves – 10 words actually – and then to each pick one word that they feel represents Marie – so that is another 10 words about Marie.
Here we go…

Impulsive, instinctive, intelligent, individual, inquisitive, intuitive, impatient, independent, improper, intransigent.
When I asked everyone to write ten adjectives describing themselves, I had already written mine. Reading all the others was fascinating. It is not easy to write about yourself in this way. All my words begin with “I” – it just happened. Then, when I received Marsha’s words, I laughed – all hers begin with an “A”.
Congratulations Marie, running a meme for TEN years, every week, at the same time. Hats off to you, an amazing achievement.
And I already have mentioned it isn’t easy to describe yourself in 10 words or 11 🙂 – but Marie does not need to, as each person gave me a word for her, too. Here they are starting with Marsha’s and going down the list above with their chosen adjective for Marie Rebelle (actually there are some nouns thrown in too but that’s OK as I chose the last one). 🙂
Marie Rebelle
Valuable – Intriguing – Diligent – Generous – Mischievous – Prolific – Compassionate – Inspirational – Magnetic – Marvel – Friend.
I was so excited when May asked me to contribute and I’m so happy to read the final work and see it so wonderfully done. Congratulations on 10 years of Wicked Wednesday and look forward to so much more.
I always love your enthusiasm 🙂
You are one of the best storytellers I know, so I am glad I had a hand in you starting to write fiction xox

thanks for dropping by Swirly – all good wishes to you
A lovely idea!
Thanks Feve x
Ha ha! I was happy to participate – Marie is a true friend and very supportive and inspirational, but I was also so interested to read what others wrote. Clever those ones that were all the same letter and quite telling that it is you May making the rules and then bending them for your own purposes … dont you think? Great post, very original
What rule? The ten people? I would have been a little mean to cut someone off 🙂
May, I don’t know what to say. I sit here with tears in my eyes. Thank you for this, and for all who have contributed. You are all so special to me! <3

You are special to me – and to us all! Thank you for making me feel I had a place to go when I started blogging – I would not be writing fiction today if it was not for the smut marathon! So Thank you! xx
What a great tribute and a good highlight of some great authors.
thank u for reading David – always good to see u x
