Reading: I’ve spent most of the last month reading a lot of flash fiction for critiques, but also a few novels for reviews. Watching: It’s mostly been Queendom Puzzle, but we also finally watched Quantumania and have started on season 3 of The Witcher. Listening To: Mostly Queendom Puzzle, though there have been a few new songs […]

It’s nearly August (where does the time go?), so it’s time for the August 2023 writing prompts! August is “Smaugust” in the art world, which is a dragon-related challenge. The words in the first column come from @fariis_art‘s Smaugust list for this year. If you want to add another factor to your prompts, keep in […]

Still finishing up Umbrella Academy, The Owl House, and other assorted shows. Listening To: The usual assortment of K-pop. Really digging CraXilver and Xdinary Heroes, plus Stray Kids just dropped […]

It’s nearly August, so it’s time for the monthly writing prompt post! This month, column 1 is random words, while column 2 comes from the Doodlewash August 2021 list, and column 3 comes from Redfox the Kitsune’s Smaugust 2022 list. Both Doodlewash and Smaugust are typically art challenges, but much like I do with MerMay […]

I had three new stories out in August this year! The first is “Gratitude,” in Silver Blade. This is my tribute to “Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should” from Jurassic Park. In this case? Velociraptor street cleaners trying to learn about emotions. It’s […]

It’s the end of July, so it’s time for the August 2021 writing prompts! The words this month come from all over the place, but there are quite a few summer words tossed in to suit the month. You can focus your writing on the dog days of summer or on the fleeting freedom before […]

Even though time feels somewhat meaningless, with all of the days running into one another, only differentiated by weekends, another month has passed. July is wrapping up today, which means it’s time for the August 2020 prompts! This month, the words are generally random, with a few seasonal words tossed in for good measure. I’m […]
