Week 1 of this Crazy Adventure

Although it's technically Tuesday now, I'd like to give an update post concerning the first week of NaNoWriMo.  As some of you may know, I was at first quite hesitant to join in on the project.  I had never participated before, and the idea of it was very daunting. Still – I haven't completed a [...]

Start Your Engines

I started preparing at 11:45 PM.  I made sure my headphones were plugged in and ready, pulled up a youtube tab on my browser and selected my 'writing' playlist (including the beautiful Für Katherine by Alex Beard).  I finished typing out my complete outline, printed it and had it setting next to me.  Next, filled [...]

A New Challenge: NaNoWriMo

Last year around this time, I found myself staring down the barrel of November and wondering if I should go for it.  Go for NaNoWriMo, that is.  In the end, I chickened out.  To be fair, I had a lot on my plate.  At that time I was sewing like a madwoman and trying to [...]

Off Topic: I Will Believe

This isn't a story.  It's not some carefully crafted fiction.  I usually save my blog for posts dealing solely with my writing, but here I will veer to another topic.  A personal topic.  Why?  Because I need to.  Because sometimes the words that swirl within are not all stories – they're words about me, about [...]

"What Could Have Been"

I don't know what made me do it, but I decided to cut words out of magazines to turn 'What Could Have Been' into something a little more interesting.  The project took about two hours  Which, honestly, is a little insane.  It didn't come out as beautifully as I had intended, but oh well.  Definitely [...]

"The Atheist's God"

Well, the prompt for this bad boy was simply the word 'luck.'  I got to thinking on it, and it turned into this strange little tale.  Let me know if the story is confusing, I don't give a lot of explanation or back story.  I like to leave it mostly to your imagination or inference.  [...]

"When Heaven Crumbled"

A dark little piece that somehow didn't come out as dark as I'd imagined it.  Might need some reworking. When Heaven Crumbled By Alexis A. Hunter               I stared at the knife too long.  My gaze lingered on its glistening edge, and without meaning to the longing swept over me.  A tingling cry rising [...]
