I only had one story out in May 2023, and it’s a reprint, but it’s definitely worth checking out this story’s new home! My story, “Turning the Tide,” which first appeared at Daily Science Fiction, can now be found among other dark military sci-fi stories in Dread Space 2! My story is a very short flash piece […]

In the not-entirely-accurate words of Justin Timberlake, “It’s gonna be May!” Okay, yeah, that’s a horrible joke but I love it anyway. And it is nearly May, which means it’s time for one of my favorite monthly challenges, MerMay! And MerMay is the source of the first column of words/phrases. There are a couple on […]

It’s almost May (or, in the words of the meme, “It’s gonna be May”), and that means it’s time for MerMay! If you’re not familiar with MerMay, it’s an art challenge started by Tom Bancroft. Every day in May, artists are encouraged to use the prompts for a sketch, which they then post using hashtags […]

May is Mermay in the art community, and I like to turn a lot of art prompts into writing prompts. So the first column of this month’s prompts are from the Mermay 2021 list. And while these words are geared toward inspiring artists to draw mermaids, you may come up with different ideas for your […]

This April flew past, and I can hardly believe it’s May now! So it’s time for another month’s prompts! This month, we’ve got a random assortment of words, some of which are themed toward May or spring. Check back on the last Friday of each month (or occasionally the first day of a new month, […]
