I had three pieces come out in February, all flash fiction! Small Wonders reprinted my story “Grandmother Firebird,” which is a sweet and cozy multigenerational tale of daughter, mother, and grandmother. My story “The Glass Cauldron Shattered” appeared in 99 Fleeting Fantasies, an anthology of flash fiction pieces. This one takes a look at magical […]

It’s time for the February 2024 writing prompts! As per the usual, I’ve pulled these in from other sources, though I had to do some digging since this year is a leap year! The first column is from a 2023 Kick in the Creatives February “Faces” prompt list. I added the word for the last […]

It’s time for the February 2023 writing prompts, and yet again, I’m borrowing my lists from other sources. It’s the combination of the three, I think, that will lead to interesting things. Words in the first column are from the Kick in the Creatives February 2023 art prompts. They’ve got the most variety! Words in […]

Reading: I’ve got a few new books I’m reading for reviews these days–one anthology and one novel. Reviews for those will be popping up next month! Watching: We cruised through The Witcher season 2, though we wish we hadn’t finished it quite so quickly, knowing how much of a wait there will be before we get […]

It’s nearly February, so it’s time for some new writing prompts! This month, I’ve separated out each column to be a person, a place, and a thing, as inspired by a recent “Poetry Thunderdome” event I took place in, where those categories were sourced from the audience, and then we wrote poems very quickly based […]

For February’s writing prompts, I’ve got a collection of randomly generated words, put into a random order. Don’t feel like you need to use the specific word I’ve listed in your piece (though you can if you like). Feel free to play around with word association, or just use these words as a jumping off […]
