Story Posted!

The 500 word story I wrote for Karen Lee Field’s writing contest has been posted to her blog. If you have a few minutes, why not go over there and give it a read. It’s a pretty fun story, I think. If you get a chance, why not read all seven entries and vote for [...]

Happy October!

By the time you all read this, it most likely will be October, my favorite months of the year. In celebration of the month of Halloween, I’m going to pin my little flash fiction story Frank to the top of the blog for the month.
Frank was a little story I wrote in 2006, and has [...]

Flash Fiction – A Cat and a Fish

So, yesterday I came across a flash fiction contest over at Kyle Cassidy’s live journal. The story was to be 350 words or less, include Kyle’s cat Roswell, and part in the universe of a novel titled Seaborn. In not much time, I wrote a little story and submitted it. To my surprise I was [...]

We Went There – A Ficly Story

Have you all heard of Ficly? It’s a website where you write stories 1024 characters in length (a character being a letter, punctuation, a space, a carriage return, etc).  Once you write a story people can add to your story with a prequel or sequel. Users also rate and comment on your stories.
Anyway, I used [...]

I Did Some Writing

Well, I’ve had that enormous headache again yesterday, but I still managed to get some writing done. In fact, I though I’d share a bit of what I wrote with all of you. Comments would be greatly appreciated.
This was for a writing contest with a local newspaper. They started the story, [...]

The Innovator – A Short Story

I wrote a short story for a writing contest a few months ago. I posted the few lines of the story here a while ago. I told you all I’d post the entire story here if it didn’t win the contest. Well, I’m pretty sure it did not win. This particularly story [...]

Ar’n Man – My Clarity of Night Contest Entry

I finished my entry for the writing contest at The Clarity of Night today and my entry is now on the site. I’m happy with what I’ve come up with, which is all I can ask of myself. I was definitely a challenge, but I was able to mold my initial idea into [...]
