Here goes — my attempt to get back on track with the Neeka Story, moving the tale forward even though I’m still not sure exactly where we’re going. In fact, it’s been so long, I had to review where we’ve already been! You can find all of the previous chapters of this story, as well…
Apologies in advance, but this is not the next chapter of the Neeka Story, sad to say. That is still vexing me, despite the fact that once again, I know very well what I need to write. The words just aren’t coming, which is pretty much what happened with Finding Dragons too, and why I switched…
This month’s Random Writing piece is a short 900-word story I wrote called The Harp, as an assignment in my Children’s Literature class back in October 2013. I’ve taken the time to do quite a bit of rewriting and polishing of this story in the last week, and I’m pretty happy with it now. I was inspired…
Welcome back to another installment of Neeka’s Story, brought to you by my own imagination and the weekly WordPress Discover Challenge. This chapter is a little a lot ridiculously late, I know, but as I’ve mentioned before, this scene was being so stubborn that it served me better to use my writing time and energy to just…
Welcome back to Neeka’s Story (which is eventually going to need a better name) as I let the WordPress Discover Challenge writing prompt inspire me to move this story forward chapter by chapter each week. Today’s prompt is Learning: For this week’s challenge, share a story … about learning something new. What were you trying to accomplish? Was…
A simple word or phrase on a blank sheet of paper gathers momentum as I wonder at what it could mean, where it could take place, why, and what if? . . . And then, I write. ~ Tyrean Martinson, A Jumble of 500+ Writing Prompts I found this quote very appropriate for today as I contemplate…
I switched up my days for posting this because yesterday the Writing Thoughts post just had to be written and wouldn’t leave me alone, so I hope you forgive me. This week’s Discover Challenge theme is, appropriately, Apology: Apologies — giving them, receiving them, accepting them, withholding them — are powerful …. They’re moments of vulnerability, of profound…
I used to call this the Tuesday Discover Challenge… and since I moved the post to Wednesday, I guess I could have renamed it. But the whole point of doing this writing challenge every week is to move my new cyberpunk story forward, to get Neeka’s Story on to the page, so I thought I’d…
It’s the last Friday of the month again, so here is a finished piece from my personal archives. I’ll be posting my AtoZ: Y dragon later this afternoon, don’t worry! A few years ago, I was given a writing assignment in class: I needed to write an emotional scene from my story, Finding Dragons, in blank…
Hmmm. Today’s Discover Challenge may not seem on the face of it to be geared to continuing the Neeka story from last week’s cliffhanger… but I guess we’ll see! It’s all about obstacles to creativity today. As the post says: For this week’s challenge, tell us about a time when you had to deal with an obstacle…
