Odd Prompts: Corn Palace
Ok, this was an odd one this week, and I think I folded, spindled, and mutilated the prompt to make it fit in what I needed to write. Enjoy! **** The coven’s reach isn’t as long as they would like, but it’s pretty wide in a radius around Eugene.” “That’s why you routed us around…

Undocking
Heck with it. Chatty nonsense posts are better than no posts at all. Besides which, things are going… I hesitate to say well. They are going. Like life usually is, it’s complicated. I have faith, though, and that’s gotten me through worse places. I’m safe, warm (ok, Texas in summer. Cool! I’m cool!), and dry.…

Bibliophilia: Startling Experiences!
I’m sure there are startling experiences in books, in having them and loving them? Maybe not so much. Neither is the inspiration for the title, though. No, this is named for the book I’m highlighting in this post. One in my collection, which I will admit readily I have not yet read, it caught the…

Odd Prompts: Corvina’s Introduction
This is the opening of a short story I’m working on. Set in the Witchward series, it follows on from Child of Crows, which can be found in the anthology Supernatural Streets (and later this year, likely in a standalone setting). *** Amaya walked into the big kitchen and paused. Her hostess was nowhere in…

Fragmentary
My life feels a bit fragmented right now. I was going to talk about my writing – I’ve been having the dickens of a time writing at all, and when it do it’s random stuff that doesn’t seem to fit into any of my working worlds. I have all these story fragments and I don’t…

Sweet Potato Pie
I yam what I yam. Sorry, couldn’t pass up the old chestnut. Really, this started when I had a can of yams in the pantry, and I was talking to my Mom about some of the oddball foods that made the move to TX with us. It wasn’t supposed to be this way… but that’s…

Odd Prompts: It’s Never Espionage
A little something fun from today’s prompt, which I decided to play straight. *** “It was a normal day until the penguins attacked.” This was delivered in such a lugubrious tone that I turned to fully look at the speaker. “Is that the beginning of a wild story, or the world’s lamest passphrase?” He looked…

Butterfly Garden
There is more to the Texas Discovery Gardens than the butterfly house, but oh my that is an amazing place to visit. Worth the round trip that passes me through downtown Dallas, even. Tucked into the Texas State Fairgrounds, this small garden is a jewel, and very kid-friendly. Even on a hot day, there is…

The Case of the Missing Sheet
And other silliness at my house. I mean, losing socks in the wash? Happens to all of us. A whole fitted sheet with extra deep pockets for a tall full sized bed? How did I manage that one!? It’s not like I have a house, and multiple blanket chests, and closets, and space to loose…

Odd Prompts: Commonly Believed to be Ming
Today’s prompt is a bit of something longer, which I won’t put entirely in public… I have plans for this story! **** She propped her elbows on the kitchen island, her eyes sleepy. Joe pushed a mug of coffee closer to her, and she blinked. “What did I do last night?” She asked, pulling the…

A Walk in the Garden
One of the perks to living in the city? Access to the arts. Museums, parks… and the botanical gardens. It’s high summer here in Texas, which means it’s hot, and the flowers are past their peak, but I didn’t care. I finally had the time and the energy to go walk in the garden. It’s…

Odd Prompts: Jack the Golden
So it took about twenty-four hours for me to get the writing brain online. Which really, isn’t bad all things considering. Also, I created a new writing spot in the apartment and tried it out… Ok, I didn’t need a spot. I found a chair and couldn’t pass it up, so it came home with…
