Second Place!
It's true - when you weren't expecting anything, second place is exciting! If I'd been sure I would win, I might be disappointed. As it is, I was so excited I actually squeed.

Backlog of HEX writing: Post 6 of 6 - for now.
This final post is another compilation post. We have a thread called "Drabble Drabble" where we post writing of roughly 100 words (although as you will see, that limit has, at times, been stretched to the breaking point). Each round has 25 entries. Anyone can post an entry and claim their number; depending on timing, Luce will open a round to ( Read more... ) -
Backlog of HEX writing: Post 5 of almost done
The latest flash challenge, issued just last weekend, is the following one. Again, not anywhere near close to a winner. Once again, my friend Balise de feu won. This was the first head-to-head challenge where we both wrote our entries during a "Writer's Workshop" afternoon last Saturday. We're planning to meet once or twice a month at Panera's and ( Read more... ) -
Backlog of HEX writing: Post 4 of at least a couple more
Next up are a series of "Daily" writing challenge prompts. Daily is truly a laughable term, but I spent one afternoon/evening scouring the thread and compiling ALL of the prompts from the past 2-3 years into one place, with the intent of going through them in order. There are enough to keep me at it for quite a while, especially considering I'm not ( Read more... ) -
Backlog of HEX writing: Post 3 of a bunch
This next entry is a little more extensive: it was a "Master Challenge" - we were given up to 2 months to put some serious effort into a more in-depth prompt. There were tons to choose from, so I'll be participating again with different prompts in the future. But this was an amazing opportunity to play in the HP universe! Again, I just got a " ( Read more... ) -
Backlog of HEX writing: Post 2 of a bunch
The next one is a flash challenge for my writing group from March 20th. This one didn't get any prizes, mostly because I didn't think outside the box with the directions. I need to work on being less predictable! Regardless, I had fun writing this ( Read more... ) -
Backlog of HEX writing: Post 1 of a bunch
I've got a solid 6 weeks of writing to post, so hold onto your hats ( Read more... ) -
You're going to get tired of these - but not soon, I hope!
Yep - the HEX Writing Club has issued another Flash writing challenge. As it is still an active contest (open until March 1), I am f-locking this post until the winners are announced and then will remove this sentence when I make the post public and link to it on Facebook.
However, I'm anxious to see what you all think!

Another Flash-writing challenge
I found about about the challenge at bedtime last night; it was (is?) due before midnight tomorrow. I thought I'd just make a few notes, maybe sketch out a possible scenario before I went to sleep. Oh, no. My muse refuses to work that way. I finished at 2:30 am, 2 hours later. Here's the challenge and my entry. Let me know what you think!

The Muse
so - I've joined a new HP website. Well, new to me. Apparently it's been around even longer than LL was! It's vastly different than the Lounge, though - instead of all discussion, it's got a HUGE roleplay component to it. I've discovered that I adore this ( Read more... )
