I think it’s a bit snobby to put down blog memes. True, it isn’t a good thing to over use them to the point where that is all you are posting. But, they are good as a way to give you something to write when you are running out of steam. Some of them are especially good and all of them would be glad to have more regular posters/ participants. I don’t think they deserve the reputation they have been given as a blight on blogging. Instead, think of them as very user friendly and try one, or two, now and then.
Manic Monday – No longer running but the list of topical words is still up in the sidebar.
Manic Monday – A different meme with the same name.
Wednesday Weirdness – No recent posts but archives are in place.
Monday Crazy Questions – Meme is on hold until at least Spring next year.
Random Meme – No updates since June, old posts are still available.
Circle of Words – Retired meme but kept in archives by a fan.

Thanks very much for mentioning my Limerick-Offs and for that handy list of writing memes!
A few for photography and drawing too. But they are all ways of getting creative. After all, if a picture is worth a thousand words someone still has to write those words.
Thank you so much for mentioning Poetry Play Thursday! I agree that it’s not a good idea to post a meme every day of the week but they’re definitely good for a creative spark. I know I enjoy giving them a try.
Thank you again!
Thank you so much for including Friday Frustrations.
You’re welcome. Thanks for leaving a note.
