Still Working on My Novel

Current status: editing and drafting novel #6!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • A Mage Like Any Other

    Perhaps it was a dream, she thought. Perhaps if she pinched herself, she would wake up. But she didn’t want to wake up. She wanted to stay in this dream world where she is a mage. Females don’t get to be mages. Only men are born with the ability to wield magic. Nora wasn’t supposed… Continue reading

  • February’s Prompt

    Today is February (you probably know that by now). What that means is it is time for a new writing prompt. Again, I am taking my prompt from a book that one of my lovely sisters bought me titled Complete the Story.  This month’s prompt is: Perhaps it was a dream, she thought. Perhaps if… Continue reading

  • We Found Oil

    At first, we thought the black liquid was oil, that we’d struck it rich and that we’d be able to retire and live in leisure. We actually started writing down all the ways we’d spend the money. Our first choice was a private island. Actually, that was my first choice, my husband and daughter wanted… Continue reading
