Okay, so, parody time. This time I shall parody in satire of sorts. Kinda. In a sense. Anyway, I'll explain the subject here in a moment but first, a writing challenge! (which means, yes, I'm posting a small piece of writing.)

Every once in awhile I like to visit brigits_flame and participate in their epic and awesome writing challenges. Typically they ( Read more... )

Well, getting into week two was pretty crazy. I tied for the last spot on the first poll, then on the second poll. Thanks to everyone who finally voted me into week 2!! As an odd sense of gratitude, I'm going to share something I've never shared with anyone outside the experience itself. I wish it could be better presented but I wrote the whole ( Read more... )

Finally getting back to brigits_flame after over a year! WELL THANK YOU BASIC TRAINING! Now I'm back to participate in the December contest. The prompt for week 1 was "Cue" and as I read some relative terms, I was instantly reminded of this video by Natalie Merchant. Great song, great video, great inspiration. Hopefully great enough writing to get me to ( Read more... )

For three years straight there was flooding in Northern Cali as well as flash floods and mudslides in Southern Cali. For the record, SoCal gets this semi-regularly, but NorCal not so much. As I recall, this was ( Read more... )

Okies so here's a little tale I wrote. I'm not going to spoil the theme or setting, so those of you that want a flash bang boom know everything in the first word story, go somewhere else: this is theme and character, not kaboom.

well I might as well post this here, since I missed the challenge deadline awhile back. :( Initially this would've been a simple 4ish page short story but after the first two pages I realized it would be much more than that. I ended up cramming half the story into 1 page where it doesn't really belong (but works anyway). Any comments would be ( Read more... )
