Sporadic fiction despite my attempts otherwise.
Curse my procrastination and my seeming inability to write much unless there's a grade attached in a semester. But hey, I finally wrote/posted a poem. To be honest, I'd be happier to give this one a rewrite, but the motivation for that hasn't happened it a while, so meh. I like the concept, but the … Continue reading The Snow Queen
Basically two months between posts is a good number, right? I've been trying to write through losing interest in novel length pieces instead of losing interest halfway through. It hasn't really been working great, but classes eat up into a lot my staring at a screen and not writing time. But I had an idea … Continue reading Monster in the Attic
Chapter 1: Parting QE 115 Esmerelda stared up at the airship from her perch on the roof of the Allegany Inn, watching the skies as two airships danced nimbly amongst the clouds, playfully chasing each other. Both were resplendent in the maroon of the Royal Aeronauts, both with streamers fluttering behind them longer than … Continue reading Parting
Kalyah woke up on the pile of polycloth scraps that served as her bed. She stretched and yawned to greet the morning, then reached out for her comm device. Her hand froze after touching it, and she pulled away, letting the device sit, and instead she climbed up out of the makeshift bed. … Continue reading Shipwrecked
The police and the corporate goons had done their jobs, and my boss, Mr. Arthur had made it through his keynote speech alive, and he was now walking to his car. He was a vain and pompous man who was as hated as he was cheap. His corporation was worth trillions, but he hired me … Continue reading The Worst Bodyguard Ever
The night sky was as dark as could be, clouds covering the moon and stars, but in the field below was the flickering light of candles arranged in a very particular pattern. The night was eerily calm, and not even a cricket dared to chirp, as if they knew what was about to happen, and … Continue reading Love: the Death of Dreams
Autumn Breena shivered as she grabbed an armload of firewood just outside the tavern. It was a colder than expected night, but winter was just around the corner. It was barely snowing, but the wind whipped it around furiously. Lovely as the view was, this was the time when there was no reprieve from … Continue reading Griffon’s Hill Inn, Part 2
It's become pretty obvious that I've started to use flash fiction sized stories to experiment with writing stories that I wouldn't normally consider. I would bet that is a massively obvious thing to anyone who's reading this, but flash fiction just isn't something that I've ever really considered before. If something felt big enough for … Continue reading Griffon’s Hill Inn
I'm also really enjoying the flash fiction right now. There's something absolutely satisfying about doing these bite size stories. I still crave a bigger overarching story that these can't really provide, but they're fun to do, and can be a nice change of pace. First line was from the generator at https://writingexercises.co.uk/firstlinegenerator.php Photo by eduardo … Continue reading Felicia’s Night Job
I've never been a huge fan flash fiction, mostly because I can get extremely wordy when I'm writing. But, shorter fiction has piqued my interests a lot lately, plus an ad for a paid flash fiction contest is stalking me through social media now, so it sounded like it would be fun. Plus I've been … Continue reading On the rooftop
