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

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

Fiction Friday: Even Broken Hearts

So I'm a little early for Valentine's day, but the post you'll read on Monday got me inspired, so here's a little FF treat for you. It's the same characters as from the romance chapter from last Friday, just at a different point in their lives. I'm a sucker for an HEA, so I doubt … Continue reading Fiction Friday: Even Broken Hearts

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: 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

The Beast, Dripping in Red

Remember how I talked about the Editor, and all his nasty tricks we were keeping locked away in November? And then in December, we might let him out, but we were letting that project rest at least for a little while? It's January now. And the editing beast, snarling and slathering, is ready to drip … Continue reading The Beast, Dripping in Red

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
