  • Flash Fiction Friday

    Well, my friends, it’s Friday, so we’re going to take a moment, a break from the tedium of editing, to do a little blurb of Flash Fiction. It’s going to be a relatively short and sweet post today, as my brain is all a flurry with formatting and what have you, as well as my…

  • Today, I find myself vaguely astounded. One of the things that gets me is that it’s already nearly the end of May, and so soon! This year has been flying by in a whirlwind. I’m not sure if that’s just me, and I’m not sure if it’s necessarily a good thing or a bad thing,…

  • So, I was going through some old posts and things like that and ventured onto the awesome Lauralynn Elliott‘s blog to discover that she tagged me for the 7 Lines from the 7th Page Meme ages ago (interestingly enough on my birthday). I’ve been meaning to do this meme for a while now, anyway, so…

  • First off, I want to start out with a few unrelated topics. Number one: Naps are awesome. I woke up yesterday morning feeling like butt and, even though I wanted to get some work done, I decided I’d sleep in a little bit, something I very rarely did. I napped for about half an hour…

  • Fridays here on my blog are always an opportunity not only to share pretty pictures with my readers, but also gives me the chance to hone my writing skills a little and hopefully inspire others to hone theirs in a similar fashion. Sometimes, the pieces flop. Sometimes, I’m pulling for teeth. But other times, the…

  • And, lo and behold, I force myself to take a break from all the fun of prepping my manuscript for beta readers to bring to you another Flash Fiction Friday! I’m hoping that today, in general, is a good day for work. I have the day off from the paying job, and a brief peek…

  • Today’s post is definitely much later than I usually post; this is due to a combination of laziness and adjusting to a switch in my work schedule, which usually has me closing on a Tuesday instead of opening. That’s one thing about my job that’s a bit annoying, the unpredictability of the schedule that wrecks…

  • It’s Friday morning, the sun is pouring through the windows into my little kitchen workspace, and it’s definitely time for another Flash Fiction Friday. Just a little bit of a photo prompt to get the brain working and the inspiration pumping to see what you might come up with. Or what I may come up…

  • Closing Lines Tuesday.

    Last week, I came up with an idea for a writing prompt/challenge based on one of my favorite quotes from Joseph Heller: “I can’t start writing until I have a closing line.” The challenge is simple, really. Every Tuesday, I’ll post a different prompt. Instead of it being meant to inspire you or be used…

  • Closing Lines Challenge.

    On days like today, when I’m used to having a RoW80 check-in and I can’t otherwise think of anything to write about, I go trolling around the Intrawebz to find inspiring, humorous, or thought-inducing quotes from other authors. In this foraging, I came across a quote that I remember approaching at one point and trying…
