My Waterstones Entry

Well, I wound up entering that writing contest at Waterstones I mentioned here last week. I’m pretty pleased with my entry, though I submitted it with a typo. My wife spotted it after it was already submitted. Oh well.
Their site is done in Flash, so there is no way to link to [...]

Conclusion to Vampire Story

Well, I have finished my vampire story. I’m going to post it here. I have no idea if it’s any good or not. It was the best I could do. I went way over the word count, but I couldn’t wrap it up with any fewer words. Let me know [...]

Vampire Story Part 3

Well, I’ve completed my Part 3 for Christine Eldin’s writing exercise. You can see all of the entries here. If you remember, this is my “vampire story”. A few of you seemed to enjoy it, so here is Part 3. I’m not completely happy with it, but I needed to post it to [...]

OK, my entry for the Whispers Short Fiction Contest over at Clarity of Night is now up. Mine is entry #17. I’m going to post it here. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had writing it. If you like it, feel free to leave me comments [...]

A Story and a Rant

I’m pissed. No this is not another potty training post, and yes I’m sorry for swearing (I think this is a first on this blog). That’s how I feel, though. I’m mad, I’m disappointed, and I’m taking my ball and going home.
That’s better. Now let me explain. I worked out [...]

Reminder

Just wanted to remind all of you I posted on Saturdy my Part 2 (along with Part 1) of my contribution for Chris’s writing exercise. I’m interested in what you all think because I’m really digging this story. I’ve heard positive things so far. Take a moment and give it a read, [...]

Involuntary Diet

First of all, thanks for the kind wishes. It’s nice to know so many people care!
I’m back at work today physically, if not mentally. I was able to eat a little bit yesterday, which is good. I managed to weigh myself last night and I’ve lost around seven pounds, although I would [...]

My Entry for Weirdly Contest

I just thought I’d post my entry for Bernita’s contest here. This is what immediately came to my mind when I saw the picture. My mind works in strange ways. I hope you enjoy. Click here to see the picture that was my inspiration for this (and the contest).

My Pirate Story Excerpt

As I mentioned in my previous post, I had been working on a pirate themed short story a while back but lost interest. In looking for that story I came across something else I apparently wrote but don’t remember writing. Have you ever done that? Have you ever written something, given up [...]

Sister to the Serious Octupus Contest Entry

I could’ve sworn I posted this on here. Anyhow, here’s my entry for Kaitlyn’s Contest. The task was to use the phrase “I am sister to the serious Octopus”. I think I accomplished that. Let me know what you think.
Sister to the Serious Octupus 
Despair filled the air in the cold, [...]
