    It’s been a while since I posted a writing exercise or prompt, but I’m feeling inspired. I sat down with one of the ladies from my writing group, who mentioned that she was having a hard time coming up with a certain part of the plot of a short piece she was working on. She…

    It’s been a long few months since I’ve had the opportunity to get some good butt-in-seat, words-on-paper writing time. For one thing, I spent the last two months up at my parents’ home in New Jersey, making an attempt to turn over command of my Army Reserve unit in order to focus more on, yes,…

    If you’re procrastinating from writing by writing, it still counts as being productive, right? … um, right? Help me out here… Okay, gotcha. Anyway, I was perusing some of the flash fiction posted up on Chuck Wendig’s challenge from last week, when I accidentally read through his flash fiction challenge for this week. And then…

    Darn Chuck Wendig and his crazy idea-generating flash fiction challenges … After writing a short piece for last week’s challenge, I made the mistake of glancing through this week’s. What can it hurt?, I thought to myself, as I hit the random number generator one more time. As fate would have it, up popped “X-Men” and…

    This week, Chuck Wendig posted an interesting flash fiction challenge on his blog,** in which writers could pick two sub genres using a 20-sided die and write a 1500-max word flash fiction piece therefrom. Being geek-challenged, I used a random number generator and got “Grim Dark/Whodunit.” I had to do some research re: what is…

    Last weekend wrapped up the series of performances of Twelfth Night by the Sweet Tea Shakespeare company. It was a heck of a ride and a fine group of people with whom to explore the creative. The experience shook loose the dust and cobwebs from off my fingers and out between my ears, and I…
