One slow step after the next, he carved a circle around the mammoth oddity. Looking it up and down he could not place where he'd seen it before. Here, at the center of town, the giant stone overlooked every aspect of the villagers lives. They shop...

In regard to my new little experiment 'a paragraph a day' it only took my first attempt for me to realise it wasn't going to work as I'd hoped. You see, I'm the creative type who always feels a need to create, but I am unfortunately not the type t...

The man tread slowly through her garden, pausing every once in a while to inspect a leaf of one of her plants. She grew uncommon things here; things with many names, most of which were long forgotten. Plants with purpose; plants with uses seldom s...

The prompt: He was fond of a lass and fond of a glass, and fond of a ran-dan His glass bubbled over with frothy perfection, and the ring box was bulging in his pocket. Nothing could ruin this perfect night, he thought, as he spied her in the corne...

Well, it's been one full week since NaNoWriMo. I have thoroughly enjoyed the vacation from churning out two or three thousand words of fiction every single day. And I was fully intending to continue work on my unfinished NaNo book in January after...

NaNo update #10: I did it!

2009-11-30T17:45:38Z

Woohoo! Why yes, Virginia, I can write 50,000 words worth of fiction in thirty days. However crappy those words may be, they are mine all mine. Of course, I may only be a third of the way through the book. And I am certainly ready for a vacation ...

Eek! It's the final day, and I'm behind! Stupid Thanksgiving. I've been trying to catch up for the last couple days, but I have the attention span of a peanut. Seriously. One or two sentences and I'm off piddling away on the internet or - get this...

NaNo update #6

2009-11-09T08:27:59Z

Whew! I caught up (13,407 words)! [hoorah! hoorah! - the crowd of one in my apartment goes wild!] And I just barely made it. Okay, I sort of cheated, but not really. I'd written a couple hundred words in Michigan on the first day, but decided I d...
