Odd Prompts: Haunted
The mouse fitted into his hand poorly, the size of it subtly wrong, the arc leaving too much room for his palm, so he had to tense muscles he shouldn’t to manipulate it. It was just one more droplet into the pool of rage growing within him. He clicked on the tiny x to close…

Odd Prompts: Never
Never say never I prompted myself. I’ve been feeling like I’ll never be able to write again. These last two years have played merry havoc with my ability to write. There are days I say to myself ‘never again.’ I should just hang it all up. And then… then I see a lovely review on…

Morning Mist: Oddly Prompted
I haven’t written for a week. This is… not good. In an attempt to at least muddle through some of my routines and commitments and regain my momentum, I’ve gone ahead with a MidJourney image for the prompt last week. “The morning mist kissed the flower petals.” And also, a ‘remastered’ version of the initial…

Odd Prompts: Special Delivery
This is part of the ongoing WIP, which I really ought to link up I suppose, or not and you’ll have to buy it when I’m done! *** There were lamps. Lamps, and candles, and Bonnie knelt next to the chest, looking up at John with her hands full of slightly honey-scented tapers. “We could…

Odd Prompts: The Dark Room
A snippet of a work in progress, since I’ve had trouble finding time for writing around con prep. I’ll be at FenCon this weekend. Here’s my Schedule if you will be as well! *** The cat stopped, his tail switching angrily. Nella stopped, too, doing her best to become one with the shadows. Luka crouched,…

Odd Prompts: Gravel Drive
This is another snip of the WIP I’m calling Special Delivery for now. *** John drove slowly up the winding drive, peering ahead of them with more than strictly necessary attention. The road wasn’t paved, but the center greenery had been neatly cut down, and recently, too. He steered around a puddle with a frown. …

Odd Prompts: Bioluminescence

I prompted Leigh Kimmel with “The un-rescued princess” You can read the prompt responses over at More Odds Than Ends. sorry mine is not text this week.…

Odd Prompts: Homeward Bound
A bit more of the sweet romance I’ve been writing. Which may or may not have some magic in it. First bit is here. *** “Well, it’s obvious you’re not from around here.” She beamed up at them. “Who else would it be?” “We are on our way home.” Bonnie was smiling and shaking her…

Odd Prompts: The Garden
Same characters and timeline as last week, just a bit further along. I don’t know yet what, if anything, I’m doing with this story. *** “John?” Bonnie paused at the foot of the stairs, looking up into the darkness. Their joy in arriving at their new home, and being on their honeymoon, had been tempered…

Odd Prompts: Special Delivery
A snip of something for the prompt, don’t know if there is more. *** “We should have turned back there.” He announced, squinting through the windshield. “I’m pretty sure we’ve come too far.” “I think you’re right.” Bonnie twisted around to look behind them. The wet ribbon of the road twisted out of sight. She…

Odd Prompts: Titanium Princess
This one’s a complete short story. Enjoy! **** “When did he die?” She asked. Niz grunted. He was focused on getting the lock open, and it was never easy. The fact that the shop was locked at all made him uneasy. It wasn’t until he’d managed to practically pry open the padlock with his key…

Odd Prompts: The Gavotte
Sadly, I’ve never learned to dance, much less the intricate dances nearly lost to history now. But the springs and prances that occasionally enliven a gavotte seem to suit this peculiar pair as they court. My prompt this week was “The red dragon danced with the white unicorn.” from AC Young. I simply had to…
