I’m totally not gonna comment on how dead my blog’s been lately. Nope. Not gonna do it. Here’s today’s Dixit card that I’m using for a flash fiction prompt: And here’s what I came up with: The scissor was heavy in her hand. She ran a fingertip along the blade, felt the bite of it’s sharpness. There’d be no going Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Changes
Look at me, actually remembering that it’s Friday before I’ve fallen asleep! Tonight, I don’t feel like using my beloved Dixit deck for a writing prompt, so instead I used Seventh Sanctum’s What-If-Inator and got the following prompt: What if Joan of Arc had access to CGI? And this is what I wrote: Jeanne smiled as she watched the writhing image Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Martyr-making
This blog isn’t dead, wooh! I’ve been both horribly disorganized and sort of unmotivated for a few weeks. Earlier this week I finally got my phone working again (thank you, Kunal!), and by that I also got my productivity/planning apps left and boy have I missed them. I suddenly feel like I know what’s going on again! I can plan Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Waiting
It’s been a while since I did Flash Fiction Friday! Feels good to be back to it. No Dixit card tonight, instead I bring you a random scene. It was inspired by a dream I had the other night, just a short scene that gave me an idea for a detail to add to a culture in my worldbuilding. Here, Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Games
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
I almost forgot it was Friday! I’m already in bed and don’t feel like getting back up, but I still want to do my flash fiction piece. So I pressed the “random article” button on Wikipedia a few times until one, an article about a cyclist, gave me an idea. Here goes nothing: The Chain The bike had been good Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – The Chain
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
