This month’s post was inspired by Bush’s Glycerin. Here are the lyrics and the video. Thanks to Edna and her loathing of maraschino cherries, I rushed into room 406, bright red spots marring my scrubs and far later than I should have for the evening med round. “Hey there, Hector,” I said as I cleared the […]

This winter has been weird, yo. Normally, this is what winter in West Michigan looks like. However, this year, there’s some weird shit going on. We’ve even had 50 degree days in February. This is not normal. This is what it looks like today. Check out the other bloggers’ posts and see what winter is like […]
Prompt: “That’s what happens when you don’t have reliable Wi-Fi.” Caleb squinted at the phone then looked up and did the same at our surroundings. He gestured toward a particularly dense area of forest. “It should be right through there.” “We’ve been walking for hours. Are you sure you put in the right coordinates.” […]
I peered through a broken window in the once spectacular public museum. They were coming. Hooded cloaks and greatcoats hiding their identity as they walked along what had once been the portico to one of the most amazing libraries in the entirety of North America. It was hard to believe that only three years ago […]
It’s time for another Top 10 List! Okay, so like most people, the best way to hook me as a reader is by writing a good book. And when I say a good book, I mean the premise and the actual writing, too–some books are strictly a one or the other kind of thing. I […]
I’ll be honest, I’ve been working my ass off, but I don’t feel like I’m really getting anywhere. I’d planned to have short story finished, a book revised and expanded, and be at least a quarter of the way into a new novella. However, that’s not quite how things worked. An ugly case of anxiety […]
Suggestion: If you’re reading this post and are stressed out by current events, I suggest skipping to the last paragraph where there’s a link to something just weird enough to be distracting and possibly amusing. So, this post…I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and I’ve been having trouble narrowing my focus. Look…I have a […]
I can’t believe this is my 50th flash fiction. I mean, I know there are people out there who write a piece of flash fiction every day. I, however, am not that person, so I’m gonna go ahead and be impressed with and delighted by 50–especially since, when we started doing this, I was so weirded out […]
Prompt: S/he showed up at his/her door, soaking wet, bruised and covered in glitter. Alex stood in line of the grocery store clutching the last bouquet of slightly wilted roses they had and red plastic shopping basket filled to the brim with all of Izzy’s favorites. He set the flowers and everything else on the […]
Okay, I’m gonna be honest here, as relatively easy as top ten posts should be to write, this one is hard mostly because of the same old thing–as women, we’re conditioned not to think too highly of ourselves. Where even saying “thank you” when someone compliments us is seen as bragging. So, I’m just gonna […]
