The Sweet Escape

I’ve uploaded my current piece that I am trying to enter into a short story archive. Thoughts would be much appreciated!
Try To Say No
I forgot to mention this is a rewrite of a piece I did last year called Calm Waves and Smooth Moon, so if it sounds familiar, it is. :)
I have submitted this [...]

Update 2: Geez. What’s a person have to do to find a critique group full of writers (good ones) that are adults? And, sorry, aren’t from the UK? The terminology and style are so different… I can’t write like a Brit and they can’t write like Americans.
I joined My Writer’s Circle, finally. Read a couple [...]

Update 2: UGH. Putting it away for a bit, again. Driving me crazy. I keep changing things Protagonize seems like a great site but upon further review, seems more for collaborative writing.  And for the most part a lot of 15 yr olds with angst, at least that’s what I’m finding. Read a couple of [...]

I do not suck. I do not suck. I do not suck. I do not suck.
I may never be published but I do not suck.

Words are beginning to swim before my eyes. Working on editing the piece I referenced earlier for possible entry to a short story archive. I think it’s a good piece but… maybe I’m just tired. It’s a little boring, to me. Little intrigue or reason to keep reading.

Today is the 31st, which marks the last day of the first month of Get Your Words Out, a totally insane writing challenge for 2010. My challenge goal is 300,000 words in 2010. I’m positive I can do that… last year I missed the cut-off so I decided to do it on my own and [...]

Lazy Sunday. I’m experiencing another lazy weekend morning. I woke up, on my own, around 7am. Hasn’t happened in awhile.  I remember when I used to wake up at 5 am, easily.
I used the peace and quiet to edit a prompt I had entered into a contest. I wasn’t going to edit it, but I [...]

The Assignment:
You’re out having a picnic and suddenly, you feel an incredible calm.  You look up to the sky and the clouds are shifting in a menacing way.  What’s going on? Who were you with?  What happens now?
Give us 100 words (or more, if you like) and be sure to share if you [...]

I recently updated my Writers Write page to indicate the current projects I am working on.  One of them is something  I started last year but I simply wasn’t ready to jump into an original longform piece. SO I kept writing and kept it around and since 2009 was such a good writing year, I [...]
