    Why I Love Shark Movies

      Per usual for my second post of the month, I am not writing about writing. Instead, I want to take a moment to write about why I freaking love shark movies. Before I get into it, let me say that I respect creatures great and small. I understand that shark movies vilify sharks and… Continue reading

  • August’s Prompt

    I am running behind this month (like usual). However, I am really looking forward to everything going on this month. Mainly, school starts again. I love my daughter, but she is an only child and I think she’s bored with me by this point in the summer. Trying to find ways to entertain her can… Continue reading

  • Life Happens

    Disclaimer: This month’s prompt and I did not get along. I tried to write two different stories with it, but nothing clicked for me. However, this was actually the better of the two. SIGH. Happy reading and writing!  *********** The yellow lines on the highway sped by in a blur, and we flew through the… Continue reading

  • Brains are Awesome

    This month has been crazy! I have been participating in my first ever Camp Nanowrimo challenge. If you don’t know what it is, you should check it out. A few times a year, people actually commit to writing an entire novel in a month. My personal goal was to write 50,000 words in July. I… Continue reading

  • July’s Prompt

    So, this month I am actually trying and succeeding at getting things done when I mean to. Starting with getting my short story prompt posted early. Without further ado, here is July’s prompt: “The yellow lines on the highway sped by in a blur, and we flew through the night, and we felt free. But… Continue reading

  • Crime Scene

    Reporters are trained to develop a sixth sense, a nose for when a story smells fishy. And something about this one wasn’t right. First of all, Captain Evers was too eager to share. He was never willing to parlay with the press unless pressured. Additionally, the cops were giving us the “it was a gas… Continue reading

  • Book review: Altered Carbon

    It’s time for my mid-month (or slightly later in this case) check-in. I am working on several projects this month. I am writing the short story of the month, prepping for “Writing Camp” in July which I am doing with one of my sisters, so I am super excited, and I am starting a letter… Continue reading

  • June’s Prompt

    ACKKKKKK! That’s honestly how I feel right now. So, every month it seems like I get later and later with my first post for the month. However, this month has been the worst so far. I am not happy about it, and I will endeavor to do better. All I can say is that LIFE… Continue reading

  • Family Road Trip

    “Bobby was sleeping on the snow wrapped in his cloak. The wind whispered through the dark, empty trees like a warning in a foreign language. Winter was coming, and with winter…” “Stop it!” I yelled at Bobby again for what felt like the fifteenth time. We were in the back seat of our parent’s car… Continue reading

  • The Heat is Getting to Me

    So this month writing has been a struggle. Mostly because everything else is too distracting. It’s nice outside and school is out. Plus, my husband is leaving soon and will be gone for quite a while, so we have been doing family events as much as possible. That being said, the other problem for me… Continue reading
