The Last Six Sentences

Posted on December 2nd, 2012

These are the last six sentences I wrote during NaNoWriMo.  This is a continuation of my 2010 project, still unfinished.  I added about 32 000 words to this story (to the 80 000 I wrote during NaNoWriMo 2010 and 5-10K since).  It’s still not finished yet…  “What were you doing at the mall?”  She asked, [...]

NaNoWriMo 2012

Posted on December 1st, 2012

As I begin to write this, it’s 23:47 on 30 November.  Thirteen minutes left of the annual month of insanity that is NaNoWriMo. Coming at the tail end of a year seemingly devoid of all creativity, I was not looking forward to the challenge this year.  I thought and thought and thought about what to write. [...]

Excerpt from “The Mystery”

Posted on November 25th, 2012

Excerpt from “The Mystery”; a NaNoWriMo 2012 project… Doris Willoughway was crazy: certifiably, effing, no one could deny it, crazy.  I mean, what else can you think when all she does all day, everyday, is walk up and down the street – and, you gotta realize, it’s a short damn street.  Up and down; north [...]

Excerpt from “The Bench”

Posted on November 18th, 2012

Excerpt from “The Bench”; a NaNoWriMo 2012 project… “How do you think the clouds move like that?” “That’s easy,” she said, jumping off the bench and flopping down beside him, shoving his legs out of the way.  ”God blows on them.  Everyone knows that!” “Yeah, I guess, but isn’t He kind of busy for that?” [...]

Excerpt from “The Cliff”

Posted on November 4th, 2012

Excerpt from “The Cliff”; a NaNoWriMo 2012 project… Turning away from the happy tourists making their way back to the car with the Massachusetts license plates – probably to continue on to the next snapshot, the next Kodak moment – she picked up an apple that sat closest to her. It was definitely not edible [...]

No, I’m not dead

Posted on November 27th, 2011

As the post title says… No, I’m not dead (though you probably DID figure that out for yourself, what with the occasional 100 words post).  I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what my priorities are, including this blog.  I’m still not really sure what the answer is to that.  I need to find a [...]

Freedom

Posted on November 17th, 2011

I should be writing my NaNoWriMo story and not working on this blog post.  I’ve written exactly 500 words in the last week.  That is, until now.  I used Velvet’s prompt to get out another 500 words just now… which I’ve of course had to cut to 100 so forgive me if it’s a bit [...]

Anchovies

Posted on December 2nd, 2010

I’ve decided that all my 100 word postings to the end of November will be related to my NaNoWriMo project, a vampire story.  Each drabble will be a short character sketch focusing on one of my characters.  Hopefully the prompts will work! This drabble is the last in the series and is from Ian’s POV, my FMC’s fiance. [...]
