Dear Santa, I think I should start out by saying that you and me are going to run into problems if you continue on in this manner. What manner? I think you know. I mean, you have a book that tells you who is naughty and who is nice, so I’m sure somewhere in that [...]

This is part of a part of my second project HERO. The context is a little weird, but hopefully you can follow along. Threw this together as part of my 50,000 words goal. (As of deadline time, I was 2415 away from completion with 3 days to go.) Anyway, here’s a little exchange between the [...]

I’ve been chugging away almost mindlessly these last fifteen days (when I can) to keep up with my 50,000 word goal for NANOWRIMO.

Tried to think of a clever title for it but I can’t say with any certainty that I succeeded. So I finally stopped the monkeying and other such lollygagging and put pen to paper tonight. What is it lately about me not being able to write on the computer? Pretty sure it has something to do [...]

Here’s one I started that never really took off. I still like the premise but I kind of didn’t have a place for it to go. The voice is fun enough for me that I’m keeping it around and posting it here. Maybe I’ll come back to it at some point. From the convenience of [...]

Here’s a story I did for a writing challenge I was part of a couple years ago. ROLL PLAY “No more bets!” Ted squeezed his eyes shut as the ball spun around the wheel. He rubbed the tips of his fingers against his palms which were dripping with sweat. He opened one eye [...]
