#WeeklyWritables ♥ Word Reveal
It’s time to reveal the word for this week’s #WeeklyWritables! I’m on a mission this week to keep my Thursday’s submission much shorter than I’ve been doing so far. Last week’s results took me deep into my old ‘story idea’ archives and churned out a much longer excerpt than I’d been planning for, but I […]

#WeeklyWritables ♥ Word Reveal
It’s time for week two of the new writing challenge, #WeeklyWritables, hosted by yours truly. Last week was a huge success for me, because I ended up with a bonus scene I’d never planned on writing for my new semi-psycho-taboo-thriller WIP (I have no clue what the genre really is, but that sums it up). […]

#WeeklyWritables ♥ Deal With the Devil
Deal With the Devil Twilight didn’t fall in the city. It crept up from the gutters, hovering just below the streetlamps long before it touched the sky. Perpetuated by the shadows of looming buildings hungry for everyone’s personal space. Dahlia had always dreamed of rising above them, to see the monster in its entirety. Preferably […]

I find joy in simplicity, the way most find passion in vomiting excessively flounced-up adjectives. I’m too lazy to wade through the […]

What Did You Say?
Time to confess: tell us about a time when you used a word whose meaning you didn’t actually know (or were very wrong about, in retrospect). Alright, I confess that I have most definitely probably misused words a time or two. However, I didn’t keep track of them over the years, so I can only […]

AWOOoooOO….
Isn’t that the exact thing Hermione Granger howled in order to save Harry from the wolf version of Professor Lupin? I mean, honestly, his name should have given him away, not Snape’s insistence on learning about the dangerous creatures. Anyway, can you tell that my kids and I have been having a Harry Potter movie […]

Wild Words Wednesday
I’m extraordinarily excited that it’s the 1st of October! Perhaps, because this month signifies the Fall Season far more nostalgically than September or November for me. Or perhaps, because it is now officially one month until the release of The Zen Lounge. Either way, I’m brimming with energy this morning. To add even more zest […]
