I don’t know about you, as a writer, but I love to start new stories about three to four pages in and then it sort of sits there. I’m struggling still with my second novel idea. I quit working on my third novel idea. I got inspiration from a few books I’m sporadically reading and…
I ask myself questions not periodically but every day. The way my day started was no surprise. I was woken up by kids yelling and carrying on outside. I looked out my window. I saw the neighborhood creep sitting under an umbrella. He was doing what he always does. He watches the women in their…
I laid down to fall asleep. It took a while but once asleep, I was deep in dream land. I found myself in a place I didn’t want to be and frankly, I felt tricked. Someone had lured me into a truck, promising me a great reward. He said it was a great adventure with…
My dad had been dead for less than a year. I missed him like the next person. The last time I went downstairs into his work area in the basement, I saw a photo of myself from high school. Why did he still have that up? I was sixteen at the time and only a…
Snow doesn’t fall in the summertime as rain rarely falls in the wintertime when there is snow on the ground. The trees are heavy with the whiteness. The powder turns yellow over time from dogs and a black from car exhaust. By springtime, I wish it didn’t snow at all. The pristine image of fresh…
How funny I wrote this a while back. It was in 2021. I was going to include it into a short story or novella of some kind. I guess for now it will hang out as flash fiction. Enjoy. This whole thing started with the never-ending mint in his mouth and the theme song to…
I ditched my second novel idea (although I’m coming back to it eventually) and working on another novel idea that is radically different from my first novel. In the meantime, here is a flash fiction story not written by me but well worth the short read. ************************************************************************************************************** C: \> System Boot C: \> System Check…
I’ve struggled too much trying to write my second novel. I think I’m going to honor my yearning and vision inside of me and start writing a different kind of novel. It’s a different kind of idea I’ve had rummaging around my brain for some time. The idea is nothing new, but I’m sick of…
This is based on a few dreams I had and my thoughts about reincarnation. I have wandered these halls, back and forth, for hours, not sure what door to open next. I have been roaming these white halls as if was some kind of punishment for what I have done in past lives. All the…
When they try to run me off the road, my car inches over and the edge next to the cliff, far down, gets closer and closer. I dare not peek anymore. I know I’m not closer to my death because I don’t fear death the way others do. I am not afraid to die because…
I’m not even touching my second novel until the new year so enjoy this FF because it’s based on a dream I recently had, which seems to be my inspiration lately because I’m not getting it anywhere else. As I watched from a distance the long semitruck back up within a tight space, I was…
I thought of this idea as a short story or something I’d like to incorporate into a novel idea. I’ve been floating this around my head for some time and while it never really came out the way I liked on paper, one that made it understandable, I decided to post it anyway. It’s sort…
