• “Deep in her chest she felt a horrible loneliness and hugged herself against the realization that she was alone in the world. That as much as she loved her family and her friends, and as much as that love was returned, she was alone. For the first time in her life she understood the word…

  • Flash Fiction Friday!

    Ugh, what a weird week, guys. I’ve been in an unprecedented funk since Tuesday; I think I’m starting to come out of it, which is good, but there’s still a little bit of the bad feelings and lack of motivation lingering around. Last night ended with a spark of inspiration, and I hope it manages…

  • Row80 Update: February 1st!

    She heard Kadue screaming, shouting, and the heat of a fireball hit her like a wave. His attempt to scorch Tenenshe’ean, however, was much too late. There was an echo of her name, a desperate cry, ringing in her ears. And then there was nothing. Nothing at all. Hello, and welcome to another exciting RoW80…

  • When in Doubt….

    The idea of fear preventing us, especially as writers, from accomplishing what we dream is not something that has often effected me. If anything is my downfall, it’s sheer laziness, but the tables have turned a little. I’m still struggling with the beginning of the reboot to Serpent in a Cage, standing at the threshold…

    “‘I should have remembered the first rule of hunting,’ he said, so low he may as well have been whispering in Auferrix’s ear.

  • So, a flash fiction prompt didn’t go up yesterday because I’m a spaz and, while I completely knew it was Friday (Friday being my only day off this week), I completely forgot about the Triple F. I don’t see any reason why we can’t have Flash Fiction Friday on Saturday, though, especially since it’s just…

  • Novels with Friends.

    I am constantly looking for new ways to be inspired. I probably shouldn’t be; what I should be doing is focusing more on the projects that have already been inspired into creation, but there’s a part of me that always wants to be working on something else new and interesting. I find challenges or games…

  • Insert Title Here.

    I’m going to make today’s post pretty short and sweet, as I have to go off and get ready for work soon, but there was a topic that’s been dancing around my mind for a while. Not much of a topic, though, so that makes it perfect for a day like today. And that topic…

  • RoW80 Update: January 25th!

    “Lookie here.” There was a grin lurking deep in the shadows of his helmet. “I caught myself a little snake.” But snakes were known to bite. Thanks to a coworker with a bad rash (another consequence of which was my inability to keep from making jokes about herpes), I wound up without my usual Monday…
