This short story came to me in the middle of the night one night. I couldn’t sleep and my mind was racing. I had to get up and write something and this is what came out of my fingertips 🙂 Enjoy!
Continue readingShort Story #5 – The Candy Shop
This weeks prompt was “Your character is in a store full of candy machines that all seem normal, except for one. What is odd about it? Do they dare put a quarter in?” I tried to do more fantasy/dystopian this time. Not sure it 100% went that way…but enjoy!
Continue readingShort Story #4 – The Decision
This weeks’ prompt was: “Write a scene or a story in which a character is dealing with an approaching deadline – is it a personal or work deadline? What obstacles do they need to overcome to meet the deadline?” I had fun with this one. Tried to put myself back in my teen years and write from a non-adult perspective. I hope you enjoy!

The prompt from this weeks’ writers group was “Write a story that includes a character who is behaving under the influence of someone or something.” I wasn’t super wild about what I came up with, and of course after I was done with the group I thought of all the other ways I could have gone with the prompt. But still wanted to post it. Enjoy!

As part of my commitment to write more I’ve started attending a Writer’s Group at my local public library. I attended my first one a few weeks ago. We are given a prompt and then 20 minutes to write whatever we want about the prompt. I have no clue if this is any good, but for accountability I wanted to post it anyway.

When asked on a Collective Trauma webinar in February to share my experience with the pandemic, I paused. Literally where do I start. And how do I condense it into just a few sentences to share in the zoom comment box? I couldn’t reduce it to just that. But I had to write it out – so fair warning tl/dr!

In January, Apple launched their new workout platform Fitness+. I’ve worked out using the Nike Training App for years, (see this blog post) I was ready for something new. I wasn’t QUITE ready to pay for it, but Apple is giving everyone a free 30-day trial, so I thought – why not?

On Feb. 3 Netflix released Firefly Lane, based on a book by Kristin Hannah. I’m a purist when it comes to my favorite books emerging onto the screen. I loved the Firefly Lane book. Like sat in my room and cried, love. I have liked all the Kristin Hannah books. Although they are often so long I find myself begging her to get on with it about 75% of the way through! I REALLY wanted to love the show.
