Heh, I’ve sort of disappeared lately. I promise there’ll be a picture post and some sort of recipe soon. BUT for now, we have a short story based off of a song for a contest. And it’s actually not Blank Mastermind centered, so that’s a change from the norm. Exactly 2,000 words, told from the… Read More Ten Tiny Fingers: Short Story
So I’ve done this sort of prompt thing a couple of times. Y’know, the whole “shuffle the iPod and write a story based on the song that comes up” thing. This is the second time I’ve gotten a WWII song. Hey, I’m not complaining… The obvious thing would be to write this from the point… Read More The Company Bugle // Short Story
Short story time! Another one of the song-shuffle variety, if you remember my Optimist PHD story a while back. Once again, a bit of a sidestep from the plotting and editing I should actually be doing. But I needed to find a distraction after finishing the sequel to Masterminds and Gathering Blue. Cliffhangers everywhere, guys…… Read More Fifteen
I have a few pictures I’d taken that I thought would make good character prompts (or character based story prompts). So, today, since this is a writing blog after all, I thought I’d share them with you guys! This is going to be a little weird since I usually explain the pictures in the captions, but… Read More People & Character/Writing Prompts

Either way, this is indeed a picture prompt post. So here are two, 250-word pieces I wrote to go with them. Enjoy. 🙂 This first… Read More Boarding A Horse & Mixed Messages

Agent 89 There was a thud on the grass as a shadow jumped off the brick wall surrounding Smidgen’s Nob. The shadow looked… Read More Agent 89 & Harold the Butterfly
Hey, guys! Last night, SprinkleSquink and I did a little writing exercise/picture prompt thing. It was really fun and we liked how they turned out, so we thought we’d share! Here was the picture prompt: And here is my writing bit (we had a 250 word limit): Wormhole My wormhole experiment took a little bit… Read More The Wormhole & Extraterrestrial Hairball
Prompt: What are examples of books you’ve thrown across the room? Why did you throw them? Ah. A chance to rant. *rubs hands* Let’s go. Dead End This ending. Why. So, the whole rest of the series is completely awesome. I loved all the other Red Rock Mysteries, but this book epically failed… Read More Books I Have Chucked & Why
Hey, everyone! Another post in the category of “Story Starters” today. These are all words that exist, but until recently, I had no idea of. So have fun, guys! 😀 The Challenge: Write a story or poem using, or centering around, one of these words. The Advanced Challenge: Write a story or poem with two or more… Read More Story Starters: Unusual Words
