Flash Fiction #9: Ceremonials

Weirdly enough, this haunting ghost story was inspired by a quote from the musical Top Hat with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers. Don’t ask me how I revamped a jovial line from a film into a downhearted tale. Honestly, I don’t know. It’s one of my many talents, I suppose. HAPPY READING! πŸ˜€ See you…

Flash Poetry: Photo Challenge #1

In case you missed it, HERE is my first flash fiction photo challenge. I thought I would attempt to write a poem this time. HAPPY READING! πŸ˜€ I reached up to touch a star while my feet were still on the ground. It faltered and fell, a pinch of fire landed in my eyes. From…

Blog Challenge Update (April)

March was not a good month for multiple and obvious reasons. I haven’t completed any of the goals I had set for myself during my last challenge update. I did, after years of hesitation, finally make the time to upload all of my blog photos to WordPress and delete my Photobucket account; but that’s about…

Magic

I’ve always been enthralled with magic. From a young age I sought it out, looked for it in every book that I had read and in every face that I had known. Captivated by tales of enchantment, I continually searched for stories about monsters, myths, and legends. I’ve always identified with the homely heroine who…

The Creator

I am a world builder and a daydreamer. I am a storyteller. I am a writer. I am the designer of a million lovely landscapes. I am the author of a million ambitious scenes. I am the creator of a million imaginary situations, places where my heart and my characters live and breathe.

From You the Flowers Grow

Whether you’re an artist, a writer, or creative mind, it can be difficult at times to find illumination in a world overflowing with darkness. We look for inspiration in a word, in a thought, an image, or in a song. We search for it everywhere, underneath every hiding spot, even in the oddest of places….

Flash Fiction: Photo Challenge #1

I wanted to try something new today, so I thought I would challenge myself to write a story inspired by a picture, a single image. I had so much fun, I know this will be something I’ll attempt again and again. HAPPY READING! πŸ˜€ I stubbornly smoothed the wrinkles out of my ruffled, taffeta dress…

Tired

I’m sitting here, at my desk, cursing myself for thinking I could write a post after I got home late from work. I don’t understand why I continue to think that I can make words magically appear, that I can craft and create, that I can write a few sentences down in haste. That’s not…

Blog Challenge Update (March)

Oh, man. I am exhausted. February was a rough one. I managed to make it through, but obtaining inspiration was definitely a problem last month. Instead of planning ahead, choosing topics beforehand, I decided to write about whatever themes were calling out to me that day. On the plus side, this allowed me to blog…
