I hate writing. That's how I was feeling for a while this afternoon. Even as I was feeling it, I knew it wasn't true, but still there's a lingering frustration in me that I need to vent about. Because writing is my outlet, and even though I hate it today, overall I know I love … Continue reading Writing Is Dumb

Twitter and the #WritingCommunity
This is a post I've been thinking about writing off and on for the better part of a month, but every time I sit down to write it, I can't make up my mind which direction I want to take it. Each time I've let my mind wander off with it, it's taken a different … Continue reading Twitter and the #WritingCommunity
2019 Reading List
Hey there! Another night, another post. This one will be a bit different. As writers, we tend to spend a lot of time in our own worlds, but it's necessary to step out of them once in a while and refill the well. I do not read nearly as much or as often as I … Continue reading 2019 Reading List

The Stars’ Favored Son: An Excerpt
This year's NaNo project was (is) a sci-fi, gender-bent retelling of Snow White, with flavors of Treasure Planet thrown in for good measure, complete with an evil stepmother, a wild treasure hunt, and space pirates! It's very much a zero draft and there's still a lot of story to write, but doing some minor edits … Continue reading The Stars’ Favored Son: An Excerpt
Prompt 319-Belief
Do you believe in something most people don’t? What keeps you believing? You can say I’m crazy. You can call me a loon. I know what I saw and I’m telling you, Clark Kent is Superman. Hear me out! Even if you don’t believe me when I say I saw Clark duck into a phone … Continue reading Prompt 319-Belief
June Special: Coping Mechanism
Grief is weird. They say time heals all wounds, and to an extent, they’re not wrong. Bones mend, cuts scar, bruises fade. Even heartache lessens over time. But grief can strike when you least expect it, even decades after the loss. You wake to a brilliant sun in the most cerulean of skies, the emerald … Continue reading June Special: Coping Mechanism
Prompt 275-Mythical Life
What would life be like if unicorns and dragons existed? I think my answer changes based on how long these mythical creatures have existed in this hypothetical. Have they always existed or did they just materialize one day? The world would be two very different places depending on when unicorns and dragons existed in human … Continue reading Prompt 275-Mythical Life
Prompt 274-Animal Attack
Have you ever been attacked by an animal? Janna’s bare feet struck the soft dirt as she ran, zigzagging through the trees, their skeletal branches stretching over her head, pointing to nothing. A more foolish girl might have believed they pointed to safety, but Janna was no such fool. There was nothing deeper in these … Continue reading Prompt 274-Animal Attack
Prompt 273-Recipes
What kind of recipes do you gravitate towards (e.g. desserts, casseroles, drinks)? I like to cook. I prefer simple recipes though. I don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen when I make food things. I’m a big fan of one pot or one pan recipes especially. I used to love casseroles but I … Continue reading Prompt 273-Recipes
