I never in a million years would have thought I'd ever write something like this. But I agree with the idea that the more limitations you have, the more creative you become. And I needed a writing prompt for today, anyway. So, when Mia and Reece kept talking about narwhals on Twitter (you will have to ask them what started that, I'm only an outside observer! ;) ), I casually mentioned that someone needed to write them a narwhal flash fiction. Of course that someone ended up being ... View Post
Writing Prompt Wednesday: A snippet from Chapter 20 of "The Good Thing", the WIP novel.
So I worked on the novel seriously today for the first time since about the end of February. Wrote about 1100 words in one sitting. I think that's the most I've written at once since the end of NaNoWriMo in November! Yikes. But to celebrate, I present to you a piece of Chapter 20, a chapter I've been working on since the end of February as well, and have FINALLY, finally finished! HOORAY! As usual, please keep in mind this is unedited, and names of organizations are merely placeholders and ... View Post
Writing Prompt Wednesday: An excerpt from Chapter 20 of "The Good Thing", the WIP novel.
I wasn't really going to post any more snippets of the novel, but I recently had a rather nice request for more, and because I'm a softie, I have relented. Lol. This piece is from Chapter 20, the chapter I am currently writing. However, I actually wrote this back in November, and it's still one of my favorite scenes of the entire project to date. When I went back to reread and decide what to post today, I had to share this one. And honestly, seriously... I don't remember writing this AT ALL! Ha! ... View Post
Writing Prompt Wednesday: 2 paragraphs from page 7!
Yes, today, I am being "lazy". Lazy in that I don't want this particular post to take up too much time, because I've only made my 1000 word/day goal about two days out of fifteen this month, and I plan on making it today! So. I happened to be tagged on Facebook by another author friend (Lisa Kumar, go check her out!) to post two paragraphs from page 7 of my current WIP yesterday, therefore, I've decided those two paragraphs will also be the stars of today's WPW! :) So, without further ado, ...

Writing Prompt Wednesday: an excerpt from "The Good Thing", the NaNo novel.
Last little snippet for the month. Shucks. I was kind of having fun posting these! But I can't give away too much, I guess, right? This piece comes from Chapter 16, and is also unedited. Thanks as always for reading! - JRF *** Vince brought the van to a sliding halt at the much smaller secondary gate along Una Duo’s southern side and jammed it into park, flinging his door open as he turned to Sokolov. “Grab the gun. You see anything coming near us that ain’t me or that guy over there, ... View Post

An itsy bitsy third piece for all of you lovely people! Thanks so much for reading and commenting and liking things around here! I really appreciate it! November's almost over, and then I'll have more interesting (and varied) things to say, promise! ;) In the meantime, enjoy this snippet from Chapter 14... unedited and raw, hopefully not terrible... although I admit I feel kinda cruel for leaving you hanging on this one but, hey, I gotta make you want to read the book, right??
