Content Warning: Domestic Violence Here’s this week’s prompt: “This is where you make up some stupid excuse to leave early and stop returning my calls.” He leaned back in his chair with a sigh. I sat down in the worn, velveteen chair next to the hospital bed that was set up in the living room. The […]
I’m pretty easy to please, really. If it’s an at-home kind of a date, bring me some of this, cwtch* up on the couch with me to watch a movie, and I’m your girl. If it’s a going-out-where-there-are-people-and-I-have-to-wear-shoes kind of a date, I’m good with not going anyplace fancy. I’m not really big into dressing up, […]
I stared at this picture for a long time trying to figure out what to write, and I kept coming back to a secondary character from a novella I wrote called Finding You. So…here’s Jake’s story. Or, at least, some of it. I don’t know why I still came down here every summer. The […]

So, I’ve been thinking about this blog post and trying to decide which, from all the awesome memories of last year, I should pick for this post. Then, I got overwhelmed and decided that maybe the best way to go about picking best memories would be to peruse last year’s blog posts to try to […]
It’s time for another year of flash fiction! The sun on our faces as it shone through the leaves was so warm. We laid back on the forest floor, and for once, I didn’t worry about sunscreen or homework or even curfews. I was content resting my head on Ethan’s shoulder listening to his […]
Yes, I used this picture in my goals post last year. No, I don’t care. Because it’s awesome. Also? Fisher Price Little People! The original ones! *ahem* Anyway, goals… No, wait. First off, I want to say that I’m pretty damn pleased with how I did this year. I didn’t miss a single blog post. […]
