I’ve read Pride & Prejudice and was smitten. All Cassandra Clare books? Fell like a sucker. I watch The Vampire Diaries and am a hardcore Delena shipper. I openly admit that watching A Walk to Remember still makes me ugly sob. So what is it about the romance genre label that keeps me at bay?Continue reading “Finding the Right Romance Novel: Tales From a Reluctant Romantic”

The End
Finally! I’ve reached the end of the 52 week writing challenge. Naturally, the prompt was “a story titled the end.” It’s been a challenge indeed to keep up doing this the whole year through, but it’s been worthwhile. I hadn’t realized how many stories I was capable of creating on the fly. This last pieceContinue reading “The End”
Toad and Mole
This week’s 52 week writing challenge prompt is “a story set at Christmas,” and with this, I am officially caught up on my challenge! It’s a Christmas miracle! Merry Christmas, Noche Buena, and happy holidays all around to my readers. Next week will be the final prompt for the challenge. Enjoy! Heel to toe, heelContinue reading “Toad and Mole”
Nubile
This is for last week’s prompt for the 52 week writing challenge, “a creation myth.” It got a little poetic, but I like it. Enjoy! She set her fingers to work, diligent and earnest in her desire to make companions for her blue blanket above the heads of mortals. Oh sweet, sensitive sky, don’t beContinue reading “Nubile”
Grudges Come Back to Haunt Us
This is for last week’s prompt to the 52 week writing challenge, “a story about justice being done.” I’d struggled with this at first because I felt like justice was such a loaded and complicated term, but I think I captured that feeling pretty well here. Warning: there is profanity and violence in this story.Continue reading “Grudges Come Back to Haunt Us”
Christmas Lights in the Middle of August
Almost done catching up on the 52 week writing challenge. This one’s for the prompt “a story set in a strange small town.” Inspired by the season. Enjoy! The sunbaked clay road seemed to go on forever, but finally I found civilization. At least, I thought I had. The small town had a few scatteredContinue reading “Christmas Lights in the Middle of August”
But I’m Only Human
Still playing catch up on my 52 week writing challenge, and seeing as the year is quickly coming to an end, I need to get on that. Here’s a story I wrote for the prompt “a story about anger.” I do warn there is violence and references to abuse in this story, so proceed atContinue reading “But I’m Only Human”
Wild Ride
So for this prompt from my 52 week writing challenge, a story about a near death experience, I decided to go with an incident that actually happened to me about a month ago. Enjoy! Driving down the 95 is hell on a good day, but at night in a sports car with terrible blind spotsContinue reading “Wild Ride”

Day of Birth
For this 52 week writing challenge prompt, “a story that takes place the year you were born,” I decided to tell the story I’ve heard so many times from my mom about the day I was born, in my own words and how I heard the story. Happy Thanksgiving reading! “GET! ME! TO! THE! HOS.PIT.AAAAAALLLL!”Continue reading “Day of Birth”
