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 Prairie Birth (Wednesday Words 8.24.16)

Emotions-5, Daelyn-O
Well I did it. I took the biggest plunge of my life in my writing so far and submitted the short story to the anthology at about 1am on Saturday. (To me it was still Friday but according to the clocks it was Saturday.) I am still terrified. Literally, after setting up the email and attaching … Continue reading Emotions-5, Daelyn-O

This Is It
The moment of truth. The big and scary "holy shit" moment. The "I can't believe I'm actually doing this" moment. If you've paid attention to the past week and a half of my posts, you'll have noticed I've been talking about a submission I've been working on for a Halloween anthology. The deadline for that … Continue reading This Is It

Scarping Versus Scraping
Alright, so I didn't finish writing my short story submission for the anthology by Saturday like I had wanted. I got close, but I was hitting blocks and I was a real cranky bitch for a couple days so not a lot of writing happened. I did write every day, but I didn't finish the … Continue reading Scarping Versus Scraping

Eight Days
Eight days. Eight days left until the deadline for the anthology submission. The little tale I'm writing is coming along quite nicely. It's almost a bittersweet tale to be honest. My main characters decided to really throw me a couple curveballs though in where the story was headed, but it's a good thing I believe. Where … Continue reading Eight Days

Taking A Chance
The yard sale is over. Finally. Thankfully. However, it didn't go as well as I had hoped. After all the stress, hassle, extreme lack of sleep, worry, anger, frustration, and work, I still came home with 90% of the stuff I took down to sell. *Sigh* Somehow it didn't seem worth it now. Since I … Continue reading Taking A Chance
