Hi all and happy holiday season. I apologize for disappearing for a bit, but the transition from my time in New Orleans to home in the midst of NaNoWriMo kicked by butt. It was all I could do to get my 50,000 word win, YAY. I still haven’t gotten back into the swing ofContinue reading “New Book: America’s Emerging Writers Anthology”

It’s Writober! Time for some creepy flash fiction and poetry
I had pretty much spaced #Writober3 until this morning. Because I’m in New Orleans and my schedule is out of my hands, I won’t be as on top of my daily writing as I have been the last couple of years, but I’m going to try to do the daily poems for OctPoWriMo and IContinue reading “It’s Writober!

The Leviathan In The Fog
This week, I had fun with Chuck Wendig’s flash fiction challenge over at terribleminds.com blog. He offered a list of ten titles and challenged writers to choose one and write its story. I tried out a few different titles and story ideas, but “The Leviathan In The Fog” triggered a memory of a personal encounter,Continue reading “The Leviathan In The Fog”
Final Days of 2017 Day 23: Yeti Paws
This has been hanging on the inside doorknob of my bedroom door ever since I received it from my Swedish “sister”. God Jul means Merry Christmas in Swedish. I am not sure what the fur is, but I’m going to go ahead and say it was made from Yeti paws. #vss very short story HannahContinue reading “Final Days of 2017 Day 23: Yeti Paws”
Final Days Of 2017 Day 20: Fight For Your Right To Party!
This glittery Santa ornament still lives in its box. I thought about taking it out for the picture, but then he reminded me of The Prospector from Toy Story 2, so I left him in his box. #vss very short story Tears pushed at the corners of the collector’s eyes as he lifted Formalwear SantaContinue reading “Final Days Of 2017 Day 20: Fight For Your Right To Party!”
Christmas In Japan: Final Days of 2017 Day 19
I still haven’t been to Japan. I hope to visit some day. This pretty, colorful kimono seemed like an odd addition to the tree, so I thought I’d spend the day exploring Christmas traditions in Japan. You can read about Christmas traditions in Japan at All Things Christmas, The Culture Trip and Why Christmas? #vssContinue reading “Christmas In Japan: Final Days of 2017 Day 19”
#FD2017 Final Days Of 2017 Day 16: Joy To The World!
Many people put fake, plastic instruments on their Christmas trees. I like real ones. I received this Ocarina in a basket of world instruments as a Christmas gift. It adds gorgeous color to the tree and when the spirit moves, I can grab it and play along with my favorite carol. Or, in all honesty, make horribleContinue reading “#FD2017 Final Days Of 2017 Day 16: Joy To The World!”
Pink Flamingos: Final Days Of 2017 Day 17
I received these at a white elephant gift exchange. I think every tree needs some thoughtful pink flamingos. #vss very short story The reindeer became skittish as they got closer to Florida. A crew of pink flamingos were vying for their jobs and were always trying to show off for Santa. Trying not to kickContinue reading “Pink Flamingos: Final Days Of 2017 Day 17”
Final Days Of 2017 Day 16: Aloha Santa
In the mood for a Hawaiian Christmas? This Santa is. My sweetie and I agree he would know the words to Mele Kalikimaka, so we’re not sure what he’s looking at in this book. If you’d like to listen to the song here’s some Bing Crosby. #vss very short story Santa let his elf takeContinue reading “Final Days Of 2017 Day 16: Aloha Santa”
