Ugh. So, head’s up – this is probably going to be super random and somewhat ranty, so please don’t feel obligated to read. I’m having a bad week anxiety-wise. Back in August I got a ticket for running a stop sign. It was a new stop sign in an area I know well, but I […]
This month’s flash fiction is called “Towers Fall into the Sea” by Clock and Clouds, who I adore. You can listen to it up above. And since it’s an instrumental, there are no lyrics to link to. But if you like this, I highly encourage you to check out more of their music. […]
The prompt will be bolded in the story. Mallory lugged her backpack and suitcase up seven flights of stairs to the stupidly small apartment she’d agreed to share with her sister, Nina. After a total of three flights and twenty-three hours worth of layovers, all Mallory wanted to do was wash the airport off her, […]
Unless you’re new here, I feel like my answer is going to be super predictable. I want to go on my big Ireland and UK writing retreat. Ideally, I’d like to spend two weeks in each country. Yeah, I know, it’s also not terribly realistic. So, I guess what I’d really love is to hang […]

Of course, Max hadn’t really been paying attention and ran into her, jostling her forward. She turned around and glared at him, but he shook it off. Like that was anything new lately. His gaze was drawn back […]
As usual, these are in no particular order. 10.) Big Sur, California and pretty much anywhere along the northern coast. 9.) Vancouver Island – A.) it’s gorgeous and B.) Norris lives there. 8.) England (in general). 7.) Cornwall (in particular). 6.) Ireland 5.) Norway 4.) Wales 3.) Scotland 2.) Boston (which I’ll be seeing […]
This month’s song fic is inspired by Rob Thomas’ I Think We’d Feel Good Together. Here are the lyrics and the video if you’d like to check them out. When I was listening to this song, this earlier flash fic popped into my head. I don’t often connect flash fic shorts, but this one seems […]
The late afternoon sun turned her hair into a fiery nimbus–a titian halo as she gracefully lifted her arms toward the summer sky, dancing to music only she could hear. Music he’d sent to her in a dream. Music that called to her–louder than the trees and flowers she was meant to tend. Louder than […]
