Odd Prompts: Reed Dragons
A bit of something, with more planned, perhaps. **** ‘The reed dragon is one of the smallest species of dragon. Its natural habitat is reed beds. It is flightless and wingless, and very rarely breathes fire. It has excellent camouflage, is extremely stealthy and has excellent acceleration from rest, making it a highly-skilled stealth…

Odd Prompts: A Ghast
This is a bit of what will eventually be “The Groundskeeper: Hoodoo You Do” when I’m finished with it. The joke is all on the First Reader! **** Chloe put her hands on her hips. Her purple hair, now with blue tips, was slipping out of her messy bun and tickling her forehead, where…

Odd Prompts: Come Home for Dinner
This is a flash piece, just something playing around the concept the prompt gave me. Come Home for Dinner “I’m telling you, an elf was stalking me!” I looked down at my brother. He was lying at my feet, having covered himself in a heap of dead, dried up old brown leaves. I had…

Odd Prompt: Elvish
“There’s a squatter.” She looked up from the plans spread out on the living room floor. “What?” Serena asked in confusion. Her father loomed over her, and she tipped her head way back, laughing. “I feel like a kid again.” He grinned down at her. “You look like a kid. Playing building blocks.” “I’m…

Odd Prompts: Wonderland Snip
This is the last of this year’s prompted writing. I’m going to have a heck of a time going back and stitching this story together. Like a patchwork quilt, or maybe Frankenstein’s Monster when it is done. Snip “Baby girl, come look at this.” The old woman stood slowly, shedding her blanket onto the…

Odd Prompts: Dragon Infestation
This is actually a snippet of a much longer WIP, and roughly from the middle. So if it seems like you’re missing context, I’m afraid that is because you are! Suffice it to say that a bunch of soldiers wind up with small dragons in the local ecology where there would be housecats elsewhere. …

Odd Prompts: Wonderland Snippet
So! I have about 3000 words written on this story this week. It set up the bit you’re about to read, and wrapped up the scene in the Red Queen’s house. You don’t get to read that just now. The thing is, I’ve been dictating, and the transcription is beyond a hot mess into…

Wonderland: Part 3
More prompted writing serial, which I started here, and continued here. I may need to go re-read Alice in Wonderland before I write more of this, or I may just massively abridge the conceptual bits I remember into this weird story. And no, it is not a fantasy. At most I’ll do a little…

Prompt Challenge Week 41
The Case of the Perambulating Hatrack may have come to a close, but I still have the rest of the year… holy heck, is that only eleven more weeks? We can do this! We’re so close! Anyway, I have still got weekly prompt challenges to respond to. Maybe not with another novel (no, not…

The Prompt Challenge
This begins week 18 of the Odd Prompts challenge. I’ve been having a ton of fun with it, as any of you who have been enjoying the Case of the Perambulating Hatrack along with me can attest. But I’m not the only one working on that challenge and blog. I’ve been aided and abetted…
