Flash Fiction Friday

It’s Friday!  So that means it’s the day I muster up some courage and write some flash fiction.  If the prompt sparks inspiration for you, please share your flash fic with me!  I’d love to see it. Today’s prompt is: “It feels like letting go.” Spite can be fuel.  It can be a fury buriedContinue reading “Flash Fiction Friday”

What Does Your Character Want?

When I was a teenager, I used to cut out pictures from magazines and comics and post them around my room.  Usually it was stuff like Batman or Wonder Woman or NSYNC, but occasionally it would just be an ad I liked.  One image in particular has stuck with me.  There’s a male model givingContinue reading “What Does Your Character Want?”

Flash Fiction Friday

This week’s prompt for Flash Fiction Friday: “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” -Robert Frost Today’s post is a little bit more narrative non-fiction than fiction, but it was what I felt inspired to write today.  I hope you enjoy it, and share your own FridayContinue reading “Flash Fiction Friday”

Attending Your First Comic Con

For me, the convention season is just about to start.  As comic conventions get more popular, more and more people are attending each year that have never been to a comic convention before.  I’ll be heading to Salt Lake Comic Con’s FanXperience later this month, and have plans to attend Denver Comic Con and SLCC’sContinue reading “Attending Your First Comic Con”

Warrior Princess – Music Monday

I’m the first to admit I love Disney Princesses.  I also grew up loving shows like Buffy, Dark Angel, Charmed and of course, Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman.  That love for Wonder Woman has followed me most of my life, so I always wanted to stand up for the innocent and defend the defenseless. GailContinue reading “Warrior Princess – Music Monday”

I’m a reallyContinue reading “Flash Fiction Friday”

Write What You Know… Or Don’t

I tend to write a lot of fantasy, sci-fi and superhero stories.  Sadly, I have never been given super powers by a science experiment go wrong, nor have I ever been a werewolf or been to space. But, some days I fake it pretty well.  Or at least, my characters do. “Write what you know”Continue reading “Write What You Know… Or Don’t”

Finding Theme.

About two and a half years ago I went to a writer’s workshop taught by Kelly Sue DeConnick.  I talk about that workshop a lot, because it pretty much changed my life.  I had been writing for as long as I could remember, but that workshop was the first time I really started to seeContinue reading “Finding Theme.”

Ready Or Not, Here I Come – Music Monday

I dig a lot of spy things.  Spy TV, spy movies, spy stories.  I have a particular fondness for Natasha Romanoff aka the Black Widow.  So this week’s playlist is inspired by my favorite red-headed femme fatale.  There’s still a lot of debate over whether or not she’ll get her own movie, but I thinkContinue reading “Ready Or Not, Here I Come – Music Monday”
