If you got to name a new planet, what would you name it and why? “That smells amazing, Mrs. Chang,” Al said, strolling into the galley.

Prompt 358-My TV Love Life
What TV series, cartoon or movie could depict your dating or love life? I swear I was going to work through this prompt last night. I got distracted thinking there was another prompt just like it fairly recently though, and went down a rabbit hole of my old prompts. There is some good stuff on … Continue reading Prompt 358-My TV Love Life
Return to Normalcy?
Salutations! Feels like it's been a year since I had a normal update post. And I guess technically it's still not a normal post because I'm updating on Monday instead of Sunday. The last quarter of 2019 was really insane, huh? The first two weeks of 2020 have been no walk in the park either. … Continue reading Return to Normalcy?
Prompt 357 – Game of Life
Why do you think people sometimes refer to life as a game? Splat. Kay flinched as the rotting flesh exploded on impact. “Whoo! 50 points!” Joel laughed, pressing his foot down on the accelerator of the armored truck and twisting the wheel to aim for another body up the road. “Why must you do that?” … Continue reading Prompt 357 – Game of Life

Prompt 355 – Gut Instincts
Do you follow your gut instincts and if so are they usually right? Thunder echoed in the distance at steady intervals. Todd glanced up at the stars as he picked his way through the woods along an unmarked trail. They were wrong. Up above the Earth, new lights shone and danced among the familiar constellations. … Continue reading Prompt 355 – Gut Instincts
But Wait There’s More!
Hi! I was going to write a prompt tonight but I wanted to use one of my recurring characters and I couldn't decide between Lara, Todd, or the ninja-pirates. So I asked Twitter to help, but then I realized that the character choices probably wouldn't mean anything to anyone without context. So I linked my … Continue reading But Wait There’s More!
State of the Closet: 2020
*rolls backwards into the blog on rollerblades a week late with Starbucks and crazy sunglasses* What is up my fellow writing kids? Happy New Year! Congrats! We survived another trip around the ball of space fire that keeps us alive! *confetti explosion* It has been a weird couple of weeks for me. I have not … Continue reading State of the Closet: 2020
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
Prompt 354 – Refusal
What unrealistic demands or pressures do you refuse to give in to? “Absolutely not.” “Gabe, please!” Julian’s voice cracked with the plea. “You’re the only one left who can!” Gabriel leered down at the pitiable man groveling at his feet. Julian had been strong, once. A leader worth following. He’d thrown all of that away … Continue reading Prompt 354 – Refusal
