Revenge Writing
Writers get revenge in writing. Every day we run into people that we just want to strangle, slap some sense into, hit with a door, have a meeting with the floor -- or a fist... For us writers that simply just stew in fury inside, there's a much more satisfying way to take that anger … Continue reading Revenge Writing
Beauty Decays (Wednesday Words 2.24.16)
Welcome to a piece of Wednesday Word’s flash fiction on Darkling Dreams! A good friend of mine, P.T. Wyant, is doing a blog post every Wednesday called Wednesday Words with a new prompt for a bit of flash fiction writing, just to get in the habit of writing something, anything. (Even if said flash fiction is complete … Continue reading Beauty Decays (Wednesday Words 2.24.16)
Grinding to a Halt
That pretty much sums up how things have been going for me since a week ago. Between work and other things going on last week I had no time to do anything, then I ended up sick a day later and got screwed over even more on that piling to do list I have. It wouldn't have … Continue reading Grinding to a Halt

One for the Memories
Alright, so this isn't going to be my standard writing related blog post. I am going off on a completely unrelated topic tonight. (Actually, if I really wanted to, I could turn this into a half related writing post...) Anyways, on Wednesday, I had the chance to go to my first concert ever, courtesy of … Continue reading One for the Memories

A Concordance and a Mishap of Notes
It's been a few up and down days as of late. The weather has sucked, tempers have been flaring, and one thing after another just seems to be going south. My mood has been going up and down right along with the roller coaster, and not in a very positive way. Which also means I haven't … Continue reading A Concordance and a Mishap of Notes

What’s in a Name?
Here's something that just about all authors either hate or love. Okay, maybe it's more like a love-hate relationship with it. Like a see-saw, back and forth, up and down... I have the love-hate relationship with names. I hate trying to come up with the perfect names for characters, places, creatures, chapters, novels, series... Naming … Continue reading What’s in a Name?
