Hard Hit

Sometimes story ideas hit you harder when you are least expecting them. You know what I mean, right? Let me paint the picture for you: You’re walking along (or sitting watching television or something else fairly mindless) when BOOM, you have an idea for a story (or poem). And it isn’t just an idea, apparently, [...]

Regressing Progression

It’s Monday, so I’m feeding you an excerpt! Today I’m pulling from a piece I wrote as part of a contest. We were given a handful of prompts and told to use one (or as many as we could) in our piece. I ended up using 4 out of the 5 or 6 prompts. Here [...]

Six Sentence Sunday

Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday!! As promised, this week I am sharing six sentences from my novel-in-progress, Dark Blood. These sentences are from a scene where three of the characters have stumbled upon a group of bandits and have decided to get their loot from them in order to return the goods to their rightful [...]

Wild Card Day- Life Update and More

Hey everyone! First of all, sorry for not posting Thursday and Friday! Thursday I couldn’t think of a list of 13 (shocking, I know) and Friday we had a big storm hit where I live and I got snowed in at a friend’s house without internet. I just wanted you to know I wasn’t going [...]

I Choose You….

It’s Wednesday, which means it is time for a writing prompt! Today I asked a friend for a random topic so she gave me: Pokemon. Random enough for you?  Here’s today’s writing prompt:   Write about one of your pets as though they are a Pokemon and you are a Pokemon master training them.   [...]

Pay Attention to Detail

I recently started reading a book. No surprise there, right? Here’s a big surprise: I stopped reading it after four chapters. The plot was sound, the characters were great and just about everything about it was interesting. The problem? Details. Every new scene had so many details crammed in that it was difficult to recall [...]

Hunter

Sorry this post is so much later than usual. I lost track of my day. Today I am sharing a poem based off from a lifestyle portrayed in one of my favorite shows; Supernatural. If you are familiar with the show, you will know that the profession I speak of is being a Hunter. A [...]

Off Schedule

Today would normally be a Six Sentence Sunday, where I would post six sentences from a short story or novel of mine. I didn’t even post last week, and I am sorry for that. This week I don’t have a Six for you, either. I have to decide what I am doing from now on [...]

Ageless Love?

Today’s post is a bit of a rant, but it is book related, at least. I realized, the other day, that a large percentage of the books I have read, and adore, have a common theme in them. Sure, they all take place in medieval-like times, in strange lands with strange creatures. And sure, there is [...]

Fast Fiction Friday

It’s Fast Fiction Friday!! Today’s TripleF is a little shorter than usual (and less fictional than usual), but I like it.   It started because you were jealous; your best friend had one and you wanted to know what it was like. You stood in the store, staring at all the choices. The colors and [...]
