E is for Endless
For
this year’s A to Z Challenge, I’m writing drabbles based on words I got from a
random word generator. A drabble is a
short piece of fiction of exactly 100 words.
Enjoy!

Amy shook her head, her face disgustingly smug. “

“Almost finished,” Corey

This was meant to be a
compliment.

My husband cast me a

Celebrate the Small Things-March 31, 2017
It's Friday! Let's Celebrate the Small Things with Lexa Cain. Tonja Drecker and I are her co-hosts.
I submitted a short story this week. That makes three submissions since the start of the year. One per month. I'm pretty happy about that.
I also started writing a novel. This novel idea has been kicking around inside my head for about two years, and I'm happy to be getting it

The boys had a movie night at the school last night. They watched The BFG and had pizza, popcorn, and pop. They had a great time.

It's Friday! Let's Celebrate the Small Things with Lexa Cain! Tonja Drecker and I are her co-hosts.
The boys have been off school for spring break this week. As much as I love spending time with them, it does make it difficult to get much done. Oh well. We've had a nice relaxing week, and I'm okay with that.
Of course, it didn't feel like we're anywhere near spring this week. We
