  • RoW80 Update: April 8th!

    A useless hunk of stone, maybe, but Gilferen picked it up and slipped it into his own pouch after Jaxson had left with a flourish of his long black coat. He gave Locke a weak smile from across the table. ‘Just in case,’ he said. ‘Come on. Let’s see about getting these mugs refilled again.…

  • Flash Fiction Friday! April 6th.

    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…

  • RoW80 Check-In: April 4th.

    ”       ‘Aseteya!‘ she hissed accusingly, staring them down. It was pure fury until concern started to furrow her heavy brow. There was harsh judgement in her glare, but it was being chased by worry as she looked them over. ‘How much of that did the two of you witness?’       ‘Not much,’ Locke assured her.       ‘Too…

  • 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…

  • A Round of Words in 80 Days: Round 2 Goals!

    Those of you who may follow me a bit more closely than others might have noticed I took a little three-day break these last few days. I don’t know what it was, but I was mostly stuck in a rut, and just couldn’t get the motivation to post anything. And that’s okay. Part of me…

  • The Raging Feminist.

    Though it isn’t by any means a recent trend, the cult of the Raging Feminist has come to my attention a lot lately, mostly due to the recent love of A Song of Ice and Fire in my apartment right now. As a series with a good deal of sex, rape, whoring, abuse, etc, etc,…

  • And Let The Editing Begin!

    Now that a few things have settled down, it’s time to sit my butt into my chair and begin the process of editing up the stories I currently have for my collection, Bowlful of Bunnies, as well as maybe adding a few new stories here and there when they come to me. I’m not going…

  • Though a combination of feeling a little off and some bad blood at work has me feeling uninspired this morning, I’m reminding myself of my “write anyway” motto and trying to put together a post for the day. After all, my minimum word count for these things is only 200 words, which is easy enough,…

  • Flash Fiction Friday! March 23rd.

    Have you ever had the feeling that, when you actually have it in you to want to write, it’s like those are the times when you can’t write? I’ve got a lot of that going on right now. I’m pleased to say that I was bitten by a writing bug hard on Wednesday; it was…

  • RoW80: Final Check-In!

    “Whenever he smiled like that, which was often, Locke imagined that each scar was the mark of a different man who hated Jaxson, and he imagined how he would one day leave a mark of his own.” It’s a little difficult to believe that we’re already on the last day of this year’s first Round…
