This is a continuation of a flash fiction I wrote at the beginning of the year. You can find part one here, but I think this will also stand alone. I used to keep track of time since the day the Overlords came to earth. I stopped 267 days into the fifth year. I stopped counting the day […]
Before I get to the actual post, I just wanted to say we’ve got a new blogger in our lineup! Torrance Sené has joined us! Yay, Torrance, and welcome! As I mentioned in an earlier post, this year has been rough writing-wise, but things are starting to pick up a little, and in a month […]
First off, I want to thank J of the Tumbling Words blog for this lovely blogging award. And I apologize for taking so long to put up my post. I’ll be posting the rules and nominating some people after I answer the questions from Tumbling Words. Who is your favourite book character and why? This […]
It’s time for another Nostalgic Notes post, and this time it’s movies. There are a ton of movies that I have massive nostalgia for. And nearly everyone of these is quoted regularly around our house. Unless you’re new here, you had to know this one would be at the top of the list. Yes, I […]
So the song that was chosen for this month’s song fic is Angel by Theory of a Deadman. The lyrics are here, and the video is here if you want to have a go at it. Shoulders and arms aching, Angelica lugged the buckets filled with the thick, sloppy mud she’d spent the morning digging out of the […]
Prompt: This would normally be where the story ends, if this were a story; the world has been saved, the prince has found his bride, and there’s nothing left to do. Only this isn’t a story and the loose ends that are left belong to people that aren’t the prince, or the dragon, or the […]
It seemed far too warm for the chick in black to be, well, entirely dressed in black. Black boots. Black leggings. Black jacket. Even her phone case was black. To be honest, she looked a little creepy dressed like a Hot Topic reject in the middle of summer. But what did I know? I was lucky […]
There are so many things that are going on in the world today that fill me with anger and rage, and those emotions quickly spiral into despair. I honestly can’t take much more without curling into a ball and weeping in a corner. So you know what? I’m not going that route today. I’m going for more […]
So, this month’s flash fiction is Sky High Honey by Matt Nathanson. I’d never heard before we went on our writers retreat, but Jonesie played it for me. Anyway, here are the lyrics and the video. “Hey…you okay, Tess? Tessa?” She didn’t answer him. But he hadn’t really expected her to. She wouldn’t even look […]
My stress levels, so far this year, have been a bit on the high side, so I really, really needed this year’s writing retreat. Honestly, I think we’ve all been in super high stress mode. We all needed this break. I didn’t get as much written as I would have liked, but I did get some written […]
