  • Quiet

    Present Day — St. Louis  It flashed through the sky and then was gone. Lucy was sure she had seen a UFO and was equally sure aliens were here to secretly make contact with a human being. Maybe they would choose her. Maybe she would get to visit their ship. Maybe she would finally get… Continue reading

  • Wild and Carefree Writing!

      My writing this month has been more of an uphill climb than a graceful ice dance. I feel like I am forcing myself to be creative. And most of my problem is stemming from a voice in my head that keeps telling me I can’t write something. As in, “you can’t have a character… Continue reading

      Looking back, it could have gone either way. It didn’t work out, which makes it look like fate, or a stupid decision, or both. But at the time, I did have a few things in my favor. I had …. my freedom and what I thought was a bright future ahead of me. Instead… Continue reading

    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.

  • 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
