Ho, boy! I do not feel like someone on vacation. Technically I’ve been off since Friday but the weekend, including Friday and today have been super busy, both with day job things and other things. Still, tomorrow I should get the last of the urgent day job stuff and some cleaning out of the way, and then I’ll be able to settle Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – My Vacation Starts When?
I’m on vacation! I still have some work stuff I need to finish this weekend, but I’m officially out of the office until January 11th which feels awesome! Today I’ve had a slow day, bit hungover after an office X-mas party that turned into bar hopping. Had a great time! Tonight I’ve reached into my trusty Dixit deck for some writing Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Resignation
Flash Fiction Friday is back, yay! A soft start this time, not a prompt but just a… piece. Tomorrow I’m helping mom at a Christmas market, and thinking of that made me think of a lady I’ve seen at that market who looked like she was going through some rought times but, last year, seemed much improved. I’m not happy Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Improvements
It’s a miracle! A piece of flash fiction whose title isn’t a definite noun. Bet you didn’t expect that to happen, huh? This time, the title is an adjective. Yay, adjectives! Here’s the picture: Hopeful She loves me. I just know it! Every night I fly by her house at the same time, and every night she comes out, just Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Hopeful
I had never really noticed this card before I pulled it out of my Dixit-game tonight. Isn’t it delightful? All credit to Dixit and their fantastic illustrators, as usual. The Terranaut Telq pushed himself, and his bulky suit, the last little distance out of the water. As he sat up and looked around, he was taken aback by the lack Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – The Terranaut
Normally I like to forget that it’s Wednesday and end up doing my worldbuilding post on a Thursday, but this week I thought I’d mix it up a bit by forgetting it was Monday and doing my weekly update on a Tuesday. Yay, variation! So what have I been up to? Well, I have: Poked my MS. It has poked Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Whoops, Tuesday!
I almost forgot it’s Friday! But then I remembered, so here is some sleepy flash fiction for you all! Here’s tonight’s Dixit card: Cool, no? I’ve always liked this card. Credits to Dixit’s illustrators as usual. Here’s the piece: The Devil in the Dice The dialog box flashed on the screen. “Double bet to $500?” it said and, below, the Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – The Devil in the Dice
Wow, for once I’m aware of what day of the week it is and at my computer and not too sleepy to blog. I feel like I’ve been missing my scheduled posts a lot lately, especially on Wednesdays but also on Fridays. But maybe I haven’t. To be honest, it feels like this week has been three weeks long so maybe that’s why I Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – The Breakup
Today I’m in Gothenburg, which means I’m away from my trusty Dixit cards so I won’t be doing an image prompt. Actually, I won’t be doing a prompt at all. My head is full of magic. I am currently reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in Arabic (a marvelous experience I will eventually blog about) and this has brought Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Almost not flash
This week didn’t go quite as planned. I got, apparently, an unexpected case of sleepyitis. I kept thinking I’d do this or the other thing in the evening and then there I was, eyelids drooping way earlier than normal. This hampered my productivity a bit, especially on the day when I was at my day job during my non-sleepy hours. Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – A Case of Sleepyitis
