Prompt: “Wow. Can we just pretend, for one second, that you’re not a complete douchebag?” So this prompt fits a story that I’m working on really well, so I’m just going to throw it at these characters and see what happens. Eliza spotted her charge in one of the glass elevators, descending from the twenty-seventh […]
Once upon a time, I finished every book I started. Then, I realized that my time is more precious than that. And once I drop an author mid-book, with very few exceptions, I don’t usually pick them back up again. But here are some ways to lose me as a reader of romance. I’m focusing specifically on […]
Octavia turned up the flame in the gas lantern mounted on the wall of the subterranean workshop. There was barely enough light to see, but she couldn’t risk bringing her work upstairs. If the guild realized what she was attempting to do, they’d stop her. And she couldn’t let that happen–not when she was […]
Welp…apparently, I was a little over ambitious in terms of what I thought I could get done this month. Well…that’s not exactly true. I did get a lot done. It’s just that most of the finished items weren’t the things I mentioned in last month’s blog. Let’s review, shall we?. This was my list: Finish revising […]
I feel like the “why” of this title can best be summed up by potential chapter headings comprised of things I’ve said in text messages. 1.) If I don’t answer for a bit, it’s because I’m driving home from the motherfucking store. 2.) I’d run away and join the circus, but I have no marketable circus […]
Prompt: Three more days of this. I looked at the calendar. January 17th, 2021. Three more days of this. Just three more days, and the nightmare would be over. That’s it for me this time–short and sweet. Be sure sure read the other bloggers stories. Jess, Deelylah, Jessica, and Kris.
It’s time for another photo flash fiction, and I have a feeling this one is going to be pretty short–partially because of the idea I have, and partially because of the million and twelve things I need to accomplish today because I’ll be out of town all day on Sunday when I usually start writing […]
I think we all have things we avoid in life–at least, as much as we’re able. Here are a few of mine. 10.) Clowns. (I feel like this is pretty self-explanatory. They’re creepy AF.) 9.) Wet paper. (I don’t know why, but it makes me gag.) 8.) Large warehouse stores like Home Depot, Best […]
I can’t believe it’s the end of February. Though, I probably said that at the end of last month, too. Sigh. Okay, so last month, I said that I wanted to: Continue with whatever’s next on the Organized Home Challenge (Yep.) Finish revising and expanding Mist and Stone. (Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.) Progress on DN & EP (Nope.) Finish 5 more pussyhats (I […]
Putting me and the idea of organization together in the same sentence is optimistic at best. However, I’ve been trying to do better. If you’ve been here for any length of time, you know I’m not a plotter. At all. That’s just not the way my brain works. And I’m also a very visual person. Pinterest […]
