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
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

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
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
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
