  • RoW80 Update: May 16th.

    ”     ‘Anything you were going to say to him, you can say to me. Sorry if you were hoping to make an appeal to his cock, but brains have to factor into this, too.’      Something flashed in her eyes as she narrowed them. ‘I was actually hoping to appeal to someone with heart,’ she…

  • Flash Fiction Friday! April 27th.

    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…

  • RoW80 Update: April 25th!

    “‘You are being followed,’ she whispered. She lifted her eyes, holding Gilferen’s gaze for a long, warning moment, and he knew she was fighting to glance toward the person she knew was hidden behind them in the shadows.” This morning (and all day tomorrow) are finally the days this week where I can actually get…

  • RoW80 Check-In: April 22nd!

    “…’Are you sure that’s a good idea? What if he’s down there, waiting for you? He wasn’t exactly in a pleasant mood when he stormed off, naked and booted out of bed, you know.’” This RoW80 update is going up much later than usual today, thanks to a variety of factors. The biggest one is…

  • RoW80 Check-In: April 18th!

    “But Gilferen stopped himself, as the door opened again and he had a chance to see exactly how the woman looked. At first, all he saw were colors, bright and loud, with no sense of order or pattern. Then he saw the long, glistening black hair. Her body, the first thing Gilferen was likely to…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Row80 Check-In: February 29th!

    “Then something moved, causing the laughter to halt and seize his throat tightly. He stiffened, reaching for the dagger on his belt, and he slowly turned. There was a figure with him in the alley, tall and slim, and Locke was prepared to shove the dagger into its gut when a voice rang out. ‘Locke,…

  • RoW80 Check-In: February 8th!

    “He had to be out of this place, no only to make up for bringing them there in the first place, but also out of pure selfish desire to finally be free of it.” It’s hard to believe it’s Wednesday already, but here it is, and it’s time for another Round of Words in 80…
