For the month of April, being that it is Camp NaNo month, all Writing Prompt Wednesday posts will be small sections of the part of the novel I am currently writing. For today, please enjoy this little bit of Chapter 12, as of now the first chapter in Act 2. Keep in mind, however, that this *is* still the rough draft, heh. *** She never thought she would wish so hard for the familiar trials of a modern airport - long lines, lots of waiting, lots of procedure, sure… but warm.

"Cutting bait, fishing, and reeling 'em in, all at the same time!"
That's what someone said about what you have to do to make a living as a writer, although just precisely who said it is escaping me at the moment. When I remember, or if you know, please help jog my memory in the comments! It refers to having to write projects, edit projects, and submit projects all at the same time, so that you're not wasting precious time sitting around on your hands doing nothing productive. (Okay, let me rephrase, "doing nothing productive on your writing"... we all know ... View Post
Writing Prompt Wednesday… on Friday! A snippet!

Writing Prompt Wednesday: a poem "Sandstone"
I have decided to start posting something creative every Wednesday, based on prompts found in various places, or maybe sometimes just based on whatever pops into my head at the moment! Today's prompt, though, is thanks to WriteWorld!
