Chapter 1 – Experiment

So I'm writing a romance novel, slowly but surely. I'll likely publish it under a different name (because...reasons) but I'll share the first chapter of it with you here. Maybe you'll find it on your shelves someday... We meet our male protagonist here: Nathan. He's got a long history of being in my head, and … Continue reading Chapter 1 – Experiment

FICTION FRIDAY: Just One Look

So in deciding to write these to prompts I found, I'm rapidly realizing that I don't have nearly the amount of prompts I thought I did...and the ones I do have aren't as good as I remember. This is irksome, and I'm going to be on a quest to fix it. BUT! For now, I've … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Just One Look

FICTION FRIDAY: Prompt – Invasion

I love fiction prompts. I don't work with them nearly enough, but some of my favorite things have come out of prompts I had in workshops. And since I've been struggling to figure out what to share here on Fridays, I figured hey! I've got some books with prompts in them. Why not pick some … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Prompt – Invasion

FICTION FRIDAY: Next Door Neighbor

So I'm still in flashback mode for now, but since it's Friday the 13th, I had to share this particular piece with you. I'm not one to write a lot of horror, though I'd love to try some day, and this is likely the closest I've gotten. But I still like this, and I wish … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Next Door Neighbor

FICTION FRIDAY:Look Into the Past

So since most of my writing lately is self-indulgent fanfic that would make little to no sense to anyone reading this blog, I figured I'd go find something I'd written before to share. I enjoyed going through and finding the old story with the soldier and the child, and figured I had to have something … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY:Look Into the Past

FICTION FRIDAY: Game Script-ish

So in order to get to know my characters a bit better for the "dating sim" game I'm working on writing, I've been taking scenes that could potentially happen much later in the game, and just writing them out full story style. A lot of these are pretty far into the romance line of the … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Game Script-ish

Fiction Friday: Old Projects and New

So I never did end up sharing with all of you any/much of my NaNo project, but I can at least fill you in on what I did this November! I took on a bit of a challenge--I think I've mentioned this before--and wrote a project in which there were only two characters, and one … Continue reading Fiction Friday: Old Projects and New

NANO FICTION FRIDAY: The War Veteran and the Child

So this is actually a piece from my first residency in grad school, so it's just shy of four years old at this point. I haven't edited it at all (save for one word I added in just before posting it, because I'm not sure why it wasn't there to begin with) and so I … Continue reading NANO FICTION FRIDAY: The War Veteran and the Child

NANO FICTION FRIDAY: Paint the Picture

So I've been working on a little bit of an idea for a new project--not my NaNo project, but a more long-term slow-build one--and I've been in need of a setting. Since we all know how well I do with planning, I'm going to see if I can take the few threads I've come up … Continue reading NANO FICTION FRIDAY: Paint the Picture

NANO FICTION FRIDAY: Dana Cantrell

So let's take the character from Monday's adventure, and start throwing him into some mess, shall we? You'll see as I start to write this how quickly the rest of the world begins to form around him, how setting and character and plot start to get all jumbled up together. I've tried to keep this … Continue reading NANO FICTION FRIDAY: Dana Cantrell
