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! 😀 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…

A Writer’s Best Friend

A writer’s best friend is her thesaurus. She never goes anywhere without it. She needs it too much. She clings to it.

The writer…

One Minute to Midnight

What do you do when you’re lost and you’re stuck staring at a blank page? How do you find inspiration? What do you do when there’s one minute to midnight and you have nothing left to give? Do you admit defeat? Or do you sing Hunger at the top of your lungs? Do you stall,…

Gone

I’ve been having trouble expressing my thoughts today. I seem to have misplaced my words and all my ideas have gone missing. I’ve been working on a post that I’m really excited about, but it’s just not working. Everything’s all muddled and misshapen, nothing is clear. I get frustrated, because I know what I want…

Flash Fiction #4: Wait

This piece of flash fiction wasn’t inspired by The Magicians, but it definitely makes me think of it. It’s weird and wild. Plus, you know how much I love to add a hint of magic. HAPPY READING! 😀 See you tomorrow! For more Kim the FanGirl follow the blog on Twitter @kimthefangirl and on Facebook

Blog Challenge Update (February)

I’m doing a cheesy celebration dance right now and I’m glad you can’t see it. It’s totally embarrassing, but I had to break out my cool moves. I’ve, officially, written a blog post every day for a month! I’ve already used all the confetti and colorful, paper streamers to celebrate this milestone. In all honestly,…

When You’re A Writer

When you’re a writer . . . People look at you like you’re crazy. Any coworker, acquaintance, or stranger you tell your predilection to gets this strange look in their eye. Their brain has trouble processing. They don’t get it. They stare at you, blank. “Oh. Do you make money from that?” “Not really.” “Why…
