Now you may be asking, "Hey Sara, what happened to that short story you promised me for Friday? You didn't post at all!" And you are absolutely right, dear reader. See, I said that with the best intentions, and full plans to write Friday night after some more house hunting after work. Those plans went … Continue reading Week 23

Prompts 120-121
Prompt 120. Which do you prefer: sunrise or sunset? Sunrise is often a symbol of rebirth. The dawn of a new day, a new year, a new era, heralded by the light growing on the horizon. It is a symbol of hope. It shines. It invigorates the spirit. It rouses dreamers and calls them to … Continue reading Prompts 120-121
Prompt 119-Lock In
Where would you be pleased to find yourself locked up overnight? I thought I could come up with a story for this one, but the more I thought about it the harder it got to decide on a setting. I’m also working on like 12 hours of sleep since Monday and while most days I … Continue reading Prompt 119-Lock In
Week 22
Oooh, week 22 starts on the 22nd? How exciting! And it's my anniversary! We've survived a year of marriage. The trial period is over, no more returns. I jest, of course. I can return him whenever I want! Ha! Ok, ok, I would never return him. I'd never find someone else to tolerate me for … Continue reading Week 22
Prompt 117-Finish Line Motivation
What is something you just need a kick in the pants to finish? I'm a chronic procrastinator sooo, a lot of things, haha. The big one is probably related to my writing. I never finish my stories before getting sidetracked to a new one that I also never finish. Does not bode well for my … Continue reading Prompt 117-Finish Line Motivation
Prompts 115-116
Prompt 115. Snakes: interesting or creepy? Why? I used to think snakes were creepy. When I was a kid I thought they were all like cobras or anacondas and would either poison me or strangle me. Growing up on a farm I encountered plenty of garden-variety snakes and almost always cried when I did. That … Continue reading Prompts 115-116
Prompt 112-Middle
Write about the middle of something, anything! Dust fell from the ceiling as a thunderous crash sounded far above. The bunker rattled with the force and whimpers rippled among the people sheltering against the storm. Mothers cradled children close, whispering reassurances in their ears, doing their best to quiet them. Their hushing sounded like a … Continue reading Prompt 112-Middle
Week 21
Hello, hello! I hope you all had a lovely weekend! I spent mine house-hunting and watching tennis. This Wimbledon was insane. Serena in a Grand Slam final less than a year after giving birth is inspiration at the highest level. Would have loved for her to have won the trophy, but Kerber was the better … Continue reading Week 21
Prompt 111-Unwanted Task
What do you have to do today that you really would rather not do? Faelurion Amadestia rubbed her temples as she pored over the documents on her desk. Intelligence briefings. Weapons inventory. Status reports. Expenditure logs. Her rebellion was stretched thin, and they were stranded on a foreign world. The local populations were resistant to … Continue reading Prompt 111-Unwanted Task
Prompts 106-107
106. Where do you like to do your journaling? At a desk, in your bed, at the coffee shop? Hahaha, yes. Real talk though, I don’t really “journal.” When I get an idea I jot it down on the nearest piece of paper or, failing that, make a memo in my phone. I try to … Continue reading Prompts 106-107
