Here's the second … Continue reading Throwback Thursday #27–Novel: The Crowspire Chronicles
I was flipping through an old notebook of mine yesterday and came across this bit of story, which I thought I would share for Throwback Thursday. This was written on the 27th of March 2011. Once upon a time, there was a wizard who fell in love with the beautiful daughter of a rich family … Continue reading Throwback Thursday #24–The Wizard’s Bride
Photo by Clem Onojeghuo on Unsplash Today's Throwback Thursday story is one I wrote about a year ago. I began with the idea that I would submit it to a contest, but I had difficulty figuring out what I wanted to write and thus didn't finish the story in time. I later finished it to submit to an … Continue reading Throwback Thursday #23
Prompt: https://whatpegmansaw.com/blog/ 100 words (I forgot that I could write up to 150 words) The force sucked Andrew through the circle of blue fire and into deep snow. He landed face-first. “Ppptthb!” he gasped, staggering to his feet and brushing snow off his cotton pajamas. Why hadn’t he worn something warmer to bed? And then … Continue reading Into the Snow #whatpegmansaw
Photo by Chanan Greenblatt on Unsplash I realize it's been over a month since I last posted, but I hope to post more frequently beginning today. For starters, here's the next installment of my multiple-part story "A Discovery in the Snow." Part of the idea for this story comes from this prompt. You can read the previous installments … Continue reading A Discovery in the Snow, Part III
Photo by Chanan Greenblatt on Unsplash Four days ago I posted part I of this story. You can read it here: https://eluminoracreations.wordpress.com/2018/07/20/a-discovery-in-the-snow/. Prompt: https://godoggocafe.com/2018/07/24/tuesday-writing-prompt-challenge-july-24-2018/ As he followed Florence into the house, Abel focused on the bird’s faint heartbeat. His own heart thudded with anticipation of what Cassandra might see. Abel’s hunches were rarely wrong. He had spent enough time with…

What happened to it?” Abel slapped her hand away and crouched, coat spreading over the snow as if it were wings itself. He squinted and frowned. It was about the … Continue reading A Discovery in the Snow

Here it is. *** The child hadn’t made a sound in hours, because of the small dose of sedative in his milk. The man was glad of it. Besides the rough snorting of the horse’s breath and the … Continue reading Throwback Thursday #16
Photo by Linn Creutzer from Pexels Today's snippet of story is a fragment I wrote during the holiday break leading into 2013. I had set myself the goal of writing at least 500 words every day, which had some interesting results. In reading back through my work at that time, I can see the improvement … Continue reading Throwback Thursday #15
My brain's all discombobulated at the moment because I just learned that one of my best friends, whom I'm going to visit on Saturday, just got a little dog and I'm SO EXCITED. As in, can-hardly-sit-still excited. I absolutely love dogs. I've had dogs around for sixteen years of my life (at one point I … Continue reading WIP Wednesday
