Oh hey, Flash Fiction Friday is back. (Shut up, it’s still Friday until I go to bed, whatever the clock says! :P). Tonight I’m posting a short peice about a NPC from my D&D homebrew campaign setting, who I’ve rather fallen for: The Baronessa The baronessa finished reading the letter. Running her fingers over her youngest daughter’s brisk script, she Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – The Baronessa
Okay, technically we’re not halfway through NaNo until tomorrow, but oh well. At the halfway mark, the official goal is 25k. I will not be there, but that’s okay: I wasn’t intending to be. I’ll be, instead, somewhere just shy of 19k as my current word count is 16666 (hehe) and I haven’t started writing for today yet. However, tomorrow Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Halfway Through NaNo
Today, I used Seventh Sanctum‘s writing challenge generator and this line caught my eye: “During the story, a character eats something that disagrees with them.”. I find the ambiguity of the word disagree amusing, and at first I thought of talking cookies, but then, with what’s going on right now in politics, it made me think of this instead: Mansplaining “Well, Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Mansplaining
We’re a week into NaNo, and so far so good. I’ve been reaching my own daily goals, which are lower than the official ones but I am intentionally keeping them low in the beginning of the month while I finish my thesis. Then I can sprint at the end of the month. This week, me and my boyfriend are staying Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Gonna be an odd week
I actually wrote this yeterday but I was having some net connectivity problems and couldn’t post it before bed. So here it is now! I did something a bit different with this flash fiction piece. My boyfriend suggested that instead of using one of my regular methods of prompt generation (like Dixit cards or random generators online) I should use Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – The Offering
Just 40 minutes left before NaNoWriMo 2016 starts. As usual, I’m staying up til just past midnight to write my first 100 or so words. It’s tradition at this point! I’ve had a good week, productivity-wise. I’ve made good strides with my thesis and although it smarts a bit to see another month pass without having finished it, I feel Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Nearly NaNo
Evenin’ guys! Check me out, I remembered to post this on Friday this week. Tonight, I went to the house warming party of my next door neighbor, who happen to have moved into the apartment of the parents of someone I was best friends with basically up until I hit my teens. So since I couldn’t think of anything else Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Different, Familiar
It’s funny, I recently (about two-three months ago) started using an organizational system called bullet journaling (I will be blogging a bit about it eventually) and it’s been incredibly helpful to me when it comes to organizing my time and planing and motivating myself. So much so that, apparently, if I forget to write TF (for Twice Fortnightly) in my Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Or well, at least occasionally on Mondays
Another busy week, another day late flash fiction piece. No matter, at least I remembered. This one was inspired by a prompt from Seventh Sanctum’s prompt generator and written… um, in The next minute or so, on the subway. She Died She died for love, they said. The blades fell upon her for the unbridled passion that lived in her. I Continue reading Flash Fiction F-Saturday – She Died
Hi guys! Time for flash fiction Friday. Tonight I’m doing a piece based on a Dixit card again! It’s been a while, so it was fun to do it. Here we go: He hurried between the trees, crouched low. Moving with barely more than a swish, he dodged around shrubs and over roots following the tracks without the slightest hesitation. Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – The Feather
