Prelude to Round Two (Masturbation Monday #214 , Wicked Wednesday #332 , & Friday Flash #26)

This post is mostly inspired by this week's Friday Flash prompt with a little Wicked Wednesday thrown in. But I'm also linking it to Masturbation Monday, because it's still Monday and it does involve masturbation of a sort. I know the post doesn't have to fit the prompt, but I think it's more fun that way. Never fear, though, I have a paranormal post in the works that I can hopefully make fit next week's prompt—or not. Anyway, hope you enjoy it. Please click on the badges below to read all th...

Her Only Master (Friday Flash #25)

Oh, you had to know I wouldn't be able to resist this week's Friday Flash challenge by Beatrix B.! I really did try for fifty-five, but I just couldn't do what I wanted in so few words. But I did manage to get it done in only a hundred. I bow down to anyone who did manage it in fifty-five words.

Why I Didn't Tell

I wasn't planning to link this to any of the weekly writing prompts, because it didn't seem appropriate. However, when I saw the Wicked Wednesday prompt was "Heal," I thought this might fit nicely.
Before I go any further, I'm not writing this because I'm angling for sympathy. I'm not. Seriously. Many women have experienced so much worse than I have. I'm writing this because I'm sick and tired of ignorant idiots—of both genders—saying women should report sexual assault immediately when it happ...

True Love (Masturbation Monday #208, Wicked Wednesday #326, & Friday Flash #20)

As I implied in "Midnight Blue," I thrive on challenges. So much so that I sometimes challenge myself to keep things interesting. When I noticed other writers combining several writing prompts into one post, I thought that was an awesome idea. This week, I challenged myself to come up with a story using the Masturbation Monday, Wicked Wednesday, and Friday Flash prompts.

On the Rocks (Friday Flash #19)

I should be working on other things (bad Ria!), but I just couldn't resist this week's Friday Flash prompt. You can see the gorgeous sculpture here. Many thanks to F. Leonora Solomon for hosting Friday Flash and Dr. J for the inspiring picture. The resulting story is a bit of a departure for me, but I hope you enjoy it!

Sweet Revenge (Friday Flash #18)

This is my first time participating in F. Leonora Solomon's Friday Flash. It's been a while since I've written flash fiction. It's a great way to learn how to tighten your writing. Of course, back then, I only had one hundred words to work with. I like this roomy five-hundred word count limit. You can get in much more naughtiness!

Midnight Blue (Wicked Wednesday #323)

I'm a little late, but this week's Wicked Wednesday "Passenger" prompt ultimately resulted in the story below after some meandering associations in my brain. When I saw "passenger," I thought "naughty road trip." And of course, that road trip would have to be in a classic Mustang. I'm dating myself here, but in my youth, I was fortunate enough to have a 1990 midnight blue Mustang convertible. So that lead me to the song "Midnight Blue" by Lou Gramm. Of course, the car in the video below is a...

Welcome to the Neighborhood (Wicked Wednesday #321)

Two stories in as many weeks. Shocking, I know, but I couldn't resist this week's Wicked Wednesday "Lust" prompt. The premise for this one came to me one morning when the sound of one of my neighbors mowing their yard woke me up. I've been playing with the idea for a while and actually started plotting it as a longer work—different from this version. Don't be surprised if you see this "through the glass" idea come up again sometime in the future. And no, sadly, there is no hunky neighbor. Mor...

His...Again (Masturbation Monday: Week 202)

This is my first Masturbation Monday offering. I know, it's an egregious oversight on my part. This week's prompt inspired me to write the short story below. As much as I love the image, it isn't Facebook friendly, so I made up my own appropriate meme using a free-use picture. Many thanks to the always awesome Kayla Lords for hosting Masturbation Monday and Kilted Wookie (Zen Nudist) for the beautiful picture, which you can see here. To read all the other Masturbation Monday offerings, just c...

The Hottest Moment in the Fifty Shades Freed Movie

After my last rather heavy and serious post, I thought I'd lighten things up around here. I was trying to think of a suitable topic and happened to be watching the unrated version of Fifty Shade Freed. Then the perfect subject hit me: what I considered the hottest moment in the movie. I think many people might be surprised. And no, it's not when they get frisky with Ben & Jerry's.
First off, I am an unabashed Fifty Shadesfan—the books, not the movies. And those of you that are groaning or...
