Eh, it’s summer, let’s have some fun. I haven’t done a lost manuscripts post in forever (you’re heartbroken, I know). Thankully I found a giant box of stuff to go through during The Culling last year, so I’ll have material for a long time. For those not in the loop, this is where I dig … More The Lost Manuscripts: The Tooth Who Didn’t Want to be Cleaned
What can I say – I’m back from vacation this week and the wireless has been cutting out on me. At any rate, I wanted to do a second look at this post, because I think it warrants it. It’s probably the only serious post I’ll ever do under the Lost Manuscripts tag (usually reserved … More 2nd Look: Dropping the Mask and Exposing the Spirit
Typically The Lost Manuscripts is my tongue-in-cheek time where I share old childhood stories with terrible drawings, bits of the odd angst journal, something to that effect. This time, though, I’m actually going to be serious. I know, right? I mentioned in yesterday’s post the anthology project I had to do for my high school … More The Lost Manuscripts: Dropping the Mask and Exposing the Spirit
Yeah, sorry. What can I say, I find all sorts of stuff when I’m digging through The Vaults. And since it’s not looking that I’ll have a white Christmas, I’ll just let me grade school past self wax poetic about snow. Jan the snow lady is cold and eats carrots. She is big and … More The Lost Manuscripts: Jan the Snow Lady
And you thought you’d escaped this! As I’ve been trying to get organized (ha) and attempting to clean (bwaha), I’ve unearthed some fabulous artifacts from my early writing life So of course the only option for this is to use it to humiliate myself, obviously. For those who aren’t familiar, every once in a while … More The Lost Manuscripts: Tom the Turkey
Today Herika R. Raymer is back, and talking about all sorts of awesome things! Inspiration, genre writing, editing, and the fabulous cooperative Imagicopter – it’s all here! I’m in awe of all the things Herika is involved in (and does so very well at), and I can add from experience that if you are a … More Guest Post: Herika R. Raymer
HA! You thought you were safe…well I’ve saved this horrifying tale for the scariest day of the year! This may be one of the most beautiful things my young self ever wrote, so take heed, grab someone for safety and moral support, and dare to read my chilling tale. This little gem came from an … More The Lost Manuscripts: Halloween Edition
Another poetry edition. I forget how old I was when I did this one, but I know it was elementary school. My mother is the grand-high guru of crafty holiday home decorating, and she had come up with a way to make a mummy doll out of tights, stuffing, and muslin. The thing was nearly … More The Lost Manuscripts: Marvin Mummy
That’s right. You’re getting two of these in a row! Mwahahahaha…(watches stats plummet). Today’s piece is from my prolific fantasy computer lab period in 1990. (I know I had more than this. I’m really sad I threw out as much as I did while cleaning. I could’ve had material forever.) And I’m sorry, it’s another … More The Lost Manuscripts: The Ocean Fairy
I have no idea when I wrote this, but my guess is probably around third or fourth grade. I’ll have to get my scanner working because some of these have illustrations that are just priceless. Anyway, proof that even at an early age I was trying to expand my horizons…into poetry! (watches as everyone flees … More The Lost Manuscripts – Poetry Edition! A Strange Day
