  • 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

  • Story of the Month Club Continues…

    It is May 17th!! And as usual, I am behind this month! The end of the school year is approaching and the weather has finally turned nice enough to go outside. I admit I am easily distracted when the sun is shining. I spend a lot less time inside by my laptop. Lately I can… Continue reading

  • Unicorns are Really Vampires

    “How did you know?” I asked, not sure I wanted the answer. I thought I had been careful. I thought she would never understand. My mom was not supposed to find out about my hobby. I tried my best to keep it a secret. “They’re evil,” she said as she pointed at the jar of… Continue reading

  • Editing aka BEAST MODE

    For my mid-month check in for April, I want to discuss editing, or what I like to call BEAST MODE. For me, editing is best done by being angry, mean, and pulling things apart (hence the beast mode). I am not talking about editing the small stuff like grammar. How do you edit your longer… Continue reading

  • Quarterly Check In

    It’s April!! And this month I am determined to get things done sooner rather than later. So, with that in mind, here is this month’s short story prompt: “How did you know?” I asked, not sure I wanted the answer. I thought I had been careful. I thought she… If you want to write a… Continue reading

  • Crash Site

    Crash Site

    I’ve lived in this town my whole life, and most of the time that’s fine by me. But in late fall when the sky fills with birds migrating south for the winter, traveling thousands of miles, I get homesick for places I’ve never been. Places like Egypt, Rome, Paris, anywhere but here. In this town,… Continue reading

  • The Weird Tale Inspires

    What influences your writing? I am an avid reader, and I try to read a variety of genres. I have noticed for my short story writing that my leisure reading is definitely influencing my story each month. Last month, my story was about a mage. And no surprise, 3 of the 4 books I read… Continue reading

  • March’s prompt

For those who have been following me, you’ll know I am behind this month. My goal this year is to write a short story every month.… Continue reading
