As per usual, my Wordless Wednesday has words. Just a few. There are a lot of things that make me sad. A fuck of a lot, really. But this pretty much makes me the saddest. This picture was taken around the autumn/winter of 1997. On the left is my nephew, Zane. On the right is […]
Prompt: Person A: “I thought I’d made it clear we have a no abduction policy.” Person B: “She wasn’t cooperating. What did you expect me to do?” Welp…this was a surprise… But hey, these writing exercises are meant to get us thinking outside the box. This is way outside. Izzy stared open-mouthed at the struggling, […]
Claudia pulled into her sister’s driveway and parked behind Addie’s beat-up volvo that was in dire need of a wash. She was obviously home if her car was here. Claudia’s fury simmered beneath her skin. And if Addie was here, she could damn well answer her phone. Over a week of calls going to voicemail, […]
People of the World, It is I, your great, and somewhat benevolent, ruler, Loki. My foolish human, Bronwyn, wandered away from her computer and left her blog logged in, which means the time has come for my message to be heard. As your great, and somewhat benevolent, ruler, I have a list of demands that […]
I don’t know why I thought this would be an easy blog post. I mean, sure there are a lot of reasons that I write, but trying to condense it is trickier than I thought. I write because I’m really not great at working in an environment that involves cubicles. I write because I don’t […]
Nostalgic Notes is a new feature we’ve decided to try out. Basically, every other month, we’ll be blogging about random things we’re nostalgic about. This month, it’s songs. I love music. There are so many songs that bring back a sense of nostalgia. My mom used to sing us to sleep at night. My brother […]
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 […]
Just a few of the things that make me happy. Breaking the rules (as usual) with a few captions. One of my awesome nieces enjoying a rainy day in the best way possible. This was taken a few years ago, but whenever it rains in the summer, I think of M, and it makes me […]
We’re trying something knew this year. The flash fiction has been really helpful with keeping our creativity flowing that we thought we’d add some writing prompts to the mix. Here’s the prompt: Some choices are easy, like fudge ripple or butter pecan, some choices aren’t. Can you guess which one this was? Here’s what I came […]
