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

These two were short (200 and 300) prompts, so I figured I'd mush them together!

Give me an idea for a short that … Continue reading Prompt Call July 2016 – “Independence”
Yeah, I'm good with these titles today. So I only got one response to my blog last week, who said they were in favor of seeing Hunter's escapades as long as I wasn't entirely burning myself out.
