Sunday Double Whammy! Worldbuilding + Flash Fiction

Last week I was crazy tired. I’m not sure why, maybe I’m still just adjusting to being back at work, but blogging in the evenings was just not a thing that was happening at all! So since I missed Worldbuilding Wednesday and Flash Fiction Friday, I’m doing a special post today combining them. Yay! This week I finished the paper Continue reading Sunday Double Whammy! Worldbuilding + Flash Fiction

Flash Fiction Friday – The Pillars

Once again, I almost forgot it was Friday. I think I should get into the habit of picking my prompt card earlier in the day, so I’m not always doing these pieces just before bed. Oh well, next week maybe… Here is today’s card. As usual, all credit to the awesome Dixit illustrators: The Pillars As the pillars sank into Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – The Pillars

Flash Fiction Friday  – The Map

Today’s piece of flash fiction isn’t based on a prompt. It came to me while in the car on the way to a family thing this weekend. My dad asked my to read the map while he drove, which my mom usually does but she was going there view a different route so she wasn’t with us. Here it is: Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday  – The Map

Twice Fortnightly – Last Week of Vacation

That’s right, next week I’m back to work again. I’m a bit nervous. Not about going back to work in and of itself, but about to what extent I’ll be able to keep my non-dayjob days active and productive. I’ve been getting a lot done these past few weeks, without feeling stressed, and I’d love to keep that up. This Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Last Week of Vacation

Flash Fiction Friday – The Ghosts

As you may have noticed, I skipped my Worldbuilding Wednesday this week. I just hadn’t made enough progress with my map this week for it to be worth a post. But never fear, Flash Fiction Friday is here! With a card from Dixit, once again. And once again, credit for the image goes to the Dixit people! Here’s this week’s Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – The Ghosts

Twice Fortnightly – After Camp

I told you already last week, though the month wasn’t over yet, that I won Camp. My total word count came to just shy of 20k, so I was quite happy with that. As I’ve also mentioned I was working on some erotic shorts that I’ll be publishing under a pen name. I should be announcing the name and my Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – After Camp

Flash Fiction – The Wolf

I’m doing another prompt from Seventh Sanctum today, and it’s: she could tell he was howling. She could tell he was howling. She could always tell when he was howling, ever since that first time she visited the wolf sanctuary and the guide let her come into ten enclosure of the pack he’d raised himself since they were just orphaned Continue reading Flash Fiction – The Wolf

Twice Fortnightly – Winner!!

Yesterday, I won Camp NaNo! My goal was only 15k, but even so I’m happy about it. I’ve finished one short, nearly finished a second and have maybe 25% of a third. If I can keep up a decent pace (having already won is surprisingly demotivating), I am hoping I’ll hit 20k and have two finished and one half-finished shorts Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Winner!!

Flash Fiction Friday – The Dollhouse

Hi guys! It’s Flash Fiction Friday! I’ve had the most frustrating day, so I’m gonna get right down to business. Here is today’s Dixit card: Credit, as usual, to the Dixit people and their illustrators for the image. Also, isn’t it adorable? The Dollhouse Mimi always knew her dolls weren’t just dolls. She never saw them move, but she always Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – The Dollhouse

Flash Fiction Friday – the Letter

Let’s pretend that it’s Friday today and I didn’t totally forget the flash fiction prompt yesterday. I am out and about right now so instead of doing a Dixit card prompt, I used a website called Seventh Sanctum. The prompt was this: I have my tomes – now I’m going into hiding. The letter Dear Francine, This may be the Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – the Letter
