FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful-Iron Out the Difficulty

Another Thimbleful Thursday post for you! This was meant to be between 450-550 words, and it's just over (sorry, Lyn) but it just grabbed me and wouldn't let go. This is a very very very far sequel-ish to QUEST TO KARANTIRI. We've met Kelina, the princess of the Metadrine elves before. The young man she's … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful-Iron Out the Difficulty

BOOK REVIEW: SONGS OF INSURRECTION by JC Kang

(Full disclosure: I do know the author, but I purchased the book on my own and was not asked to review it--in fact, he told me he was afraid for me to read it! This is my honest review.) I wanted this to come out last week, since the author just released his rebranded version of … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: SONGS OF INSURRECTION by JC Kang

FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful–Shadow of a Doubt

So my good friend Lyn Thorne-Alder (you've seen this name before, I promise) runs a nifty little running blog-thing called Thimbleful Thursday. She posts an idiom (at least usually, I'm not sure if she's using other things yet or not) and then a projected word count. These are flash fiction levels of words, so I … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful–Shadow of a Doubt

FICTION FRIDAY: Origin Story

I've been toying with this idea for a little while, essentially since someone from my past had a whole faux conversation with me about how this might happen and why. I don't remember most (if really any) of our original conversation, and unlike most other correspondence with my friends, this actually happened aloud, so it's … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Origin Story

BOOK REVIEW: THE EIGHTH by Stephanie M. Wytovich

Full disclosure: the author of this book and I are acquaintances through my graduate school. However, I bought my copy of this book of my own accord, and she has not asked me to review it any more than she has anyone else in the world. I haven't had the opportunity to read any of … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE EIGHTH by Stephanie M. Wytovich

I Hear You, Johanna…

(Don't mind me and my geeky Broadway beginning. I can't help myself.) Maybe it's how long I watched anime and the like, maybe it's my own connection to theatre and voice acting...maybe it's just me. But I run into a problem with I'm writing, particularly when I start creating new characters. I start hearing voices. … Continue reading I Hear You, Johanna…

Fiction Friday: Hide and Seek

I've been scouring the Internet for interesting prompts, and this one called out to me for some reason. I've been bouncing around with some ideas for it, but I'm still not sure it's going to evolve past what I have here. I hope it does; I've had fun with it! But I'm just not quite … Continue reading Fiction Friday: Hide and Seek
