Comment: Today for my Wednesday writing, I completed 733 words on my current short story WIP, tentatively entitled "The Transference" for the moment, but previously called also "Blackmarket Body". I'm attempting to complete this before June 3rd so I can submit it to the Writer's Digest Writing Competition. Toward that end, wish me luck! :P I have included a small excerpt here for your reading pleasure. Hope you enjoy! *** Dimitrii smiled. His teeth were remarkably straight. “No, they ... View Post
1-800-BETS… ON?! How writing for publication is like gambling.
This post is about gambling. But not the conventional type of gambling... there are no casinos or sports or races in this type of gambling (okay, well maybe you could call parts of it "racing"...!?). THIS particular type of gambling refers to the gamble every individual who calls themselves a writer takes every time they send out something in the hopes of seeing it published somewhere. And recently I have come to the determination that if a person wishes to succeed in any way as a writer ... View Post

Writing Prompt Wednesday: My second foray into Found Poetry…
Comment: I got a little blackout-happy on this one and accidentally blacked out two words I had meant to keep, so I wrote them back in between the lines. Whoops! Again, I found this very fun.

Beyond this regard, I imagined inspiration or leftover odds, disparate parts, in my perspective- my friend, waking life... everyday summer not required. Closer to the ... View Post
Writing Prompt Wednesday: A Venture into "Found Poetry"

Project List for May 2013
I love May. May is my favorite month. It brings back so many wonderful memories, going back to all the school years that ended in May, and all the summers that began in May. Not only this, but for those of you who may not know, I met my husband in May. May 1999, in line for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Yup, that's right. He lined up for five days at the theater and I lined up for three (would have been five, but I had to finish making my Queen Amidala's red throne room dress first!)... ... View Post
