“What the fuck am I supposed to do with this?” Kylie demanded. “Manners, Kylie,” he mother said. Hollis rolled her eyes at her cousin.

I’m not sure is this is other bloggers in general or the Wednesday Random bloggers, so I’m going with the Wednesday Random bloggers since they’re some of my very best friends. I’m not using descriptors like kind or caring or supportive or any of those things, because if they weren’t, they wouldn’t be my friends. 🙂 […]
Today’s flash fiction was inspired by Damien Rice’s song, Rootless Tree. No one appreciates my love for depressing music except Jess Jarman, and sadly, she’s on deadline this month. As busy as everyone is with traveling, new babies, and deadline hell, it might just be me this month. But here’s the song if you want […]
So, this week’s blog post prompt was a kind of fill in the blank thing. Then, I thought about going with writer or knitter or sewer, or cross stitcher…but I was having trouble narrowing it down.

No longer the vibrant green of early spring, they looked tired, beaten down by life, ready for autumn and the cooler temperatures. I could relate. All I really wanted to do was […]
It’s the music edition of our favorite things! I can tell you right now that I’m going to have a hard time narrowing this down. No. Really. A super hard time. I’m not even sure how to break this up into anything coherent, because I’m really more of a favorite song kind of person, but […]
