Writing Butterflies
My creative writing teachers in college always used to say there was no such thing as writer’s block. They said as long as you sat down to write something would end up on the page eventually. I usually don’t have this issue because I have a cast of characters who will comment on anything from ... - Home & GardenEnvironmentHealth & WellnessParenting & FamilySelf-Help & RelationshipsMemoir & Autobiographies
Fake Friend Or True Friend
Recently, a fellow co-writer wrote an article about a so-called friend that completely judged her and said some very cruel things. She left the girl’s name out of her article but included the mean-spirited message she had received. It stirred something in me. This co-writer is an unbelievably kind, giving, and talented writer and editor, ... Hallows Hotel – Part 1
Jenna and Deedee stood in front of the aged castle-like hotel, looking upward toward the turrets. The building dated back to the 1800s and held a disturbing history. Until fifty years ago, it served as an insane asylum with many reported deaths. The repurposing and remodeling of the old structure had seemingly carried some of ...The Best Things About Writing

Nor am I trying to deceive by telling a tale that is blown out of proportions. I mean that literally, everything exploded. One minute, I was sipping iced ...The Intruder: A 300 Word Thriller
Bllrrrrt! Blrrt! Cruuncchh! I jolted awake. My eyes sprang open, and I scanned my lake house bedroom. An apparent power outage obliterated all lighting, leaving me shrouded in darkness. My heart raced, and I struggled to determine the source of the noise that jarred me from my slumber. I reached down and patted the bed ...Cascade Falls – Part Five
Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four Trigger warning: graphic sexual content and violence Morning light trickled through leaves and dispersed what was left of the night. Wierna and her guards crouched low, spying on a clearing just ahead of them. Large bushes concealed them from sight. Bandits camped here, their fires low and ...The Box (A Poem)
Do you see the box over there? With its four walls, plus bottom and top Do you question why it is there? Possibly? Probably? Maybe? I have seen the many forms I have taste the many textures Colors galore have met my vision Beating me down until I am weak I’ve stood on the edge ...
