Sooooooo this one is a solid like...100 words over where the TTH prompt wanted me but I GOT CARRIED AWAY I'M SORRY. I'm still really pleased with this, though, and it's started to give me some ideas for a book I've been wanting to write for years now. I'll let you be the judge of … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful Thursday – Labor of Love
Category: Writing
These two went together too well, so I had to put them together. (Sorry Lyn, I'm bending your rules!) One had a 100 word limit and the other 200, so my goal is to stay within 10% of 300 words. Here goes! This is in the world of OFF THE RECORD, probably pretty late in … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful – Keep at Arm’s Length/Just For the Record
These two were short (200 and 300) prompts, so I figured I'd mush them together! Again, these are taken from the Thimbleful Thursday page, run by my dear friend and beloved author Lyn Thorne-Alder, who I heartily recommend you check out. (Both her stuff, and of course the TTH page. Because it's fun! And good. … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful – Have a Blast/Rose Colored Glasses
Literally had never heard the turn of phrase that way, but a quick Wiki search tells me it's another form of "highway robbery"! Neato. So today I'm delving back into one of my few published worlds, because I miss these characters and they deserve more page time. Soren Avalon, digital supervillain, and his significant other, … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful – Daylight Robbery
Any time I get a chance to speak to a published author, whether they be traditionally published or not, I always have a tendency to ask the same question. I ask because I still haven't really gotten a good answer, and it's an important one to me. Particularly since it's likely that I'm going to … Continue reading Read My Book, Please
Apologies if this is choppy and not as up to par as usual. Part of that is the emotion of the scene, I think, making Alistair's narrative less flowing for me than it usually is. He wasn't good about keeping focus. The other part is that while I was writing, the website I was using … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: St. Patrick’s Day
Oh, I got going about this the other day. This got me going so much that I'm going to move blog posts around so that I can have this come out closer to what time it actually is. Oh boy. Here we go. So it's no secret, if you look back through the archives here … Continue reading Money vs. Dreams
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
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
There is a strange tendency of mine to go onto the Kindle store and see what all is being offered for free on the store. I'm almost never impressed with anything that I find, but I keep hoping that something will change. That I'll find a diamond in the rough somewhere, and find a good … Continue reading Get What You Pay For
