Trying to get back in the habit of this again while I hurriedly fix the manuscript I’m working on… This week’s Six comes from a WIP I have on the back-burner at the moment. While the idea is something I really love I’m still trying to get the age-range right; I’m suspecting that to get … More SSS: WIP: Green
So this week the prompt was Trees and my mind went into a very offbeat holiday mode. This is actually part of a longer story I just cranked out in a fit of inspiration so we’ll see what happens with that! *** The folks had kept a patch of land reserved for pine trees since I … More Tuesday Tales: Trees
I’m working like mad on edits/reworks for In the Red so this will be a short update! This is definitely one of those manuscripts that has a backstory as long as the actual story!

If it’s Sunday there’d better be six! This week’s six sentences come from a WIP about two small town sisters. One just happens to be the mayor and the other is the resident masked hero.

So today we are visiting my short essay on a project you can do with everyone in your life. In fact, I highly suggest … More The Lost Manuscripts: Here’s an idea for Mother’s Day!
It’s good to be back after being out of things for a couple of weeks. This week’s prompt was finger and admittedly it took me a few attempts to find something to work with. I got inspired by randomly remembering the Zen riddle about the monk being chased to the edge of a cliff by … More Tuesday Tales: I’m back!
So I’ve been paging through the book Monsters in the Movies by John Landis over the past couple weeks. While I find the title a little bit of a misnomer – it covers everything from the typical booga-booga style monsters, but also movie serial killers and faeries/mythological creatures – I really love this book. It’s … More Monster Madness
This week is another picture prompt! We were given the choice between ladies and cowboys and although I appreciate the cowboys much more, but my muse gravitated to the women. So here’s the picture and here’s the story it inspired! The Jinn’s Daughters They were formed from nothing. The lithe bodies, the long limbs, the … More Tuesday Tales – Picture Prompt!

I know – I’m a slacker. I’m hoping to get back to Six Sentence Sunday and Tuesday Tales after this week, but I’m still getting used to being back at The Dayjob (number 256) and finishing some edits and other stuff. Truly now I’m really finding that balance (and still trying to get a few … More Taking the bogeymen to lunch
