Well, 2024 is just around the corner, so here we go with the first writing prompt post for the year! List 1 is Doodlewash’s January 2024 list. I added a link to “puffling” on this list because I only learned when I looked it up that it’s a baby puffin! How cute is that?! List […]

I had two new pieces out in January 2023, a poem and a short story. The poem was “Embrace,” published in Star*Line. This is a short poem in what seems to be a very unofficial form, in which the first words for eight of the lines are pulled from the eight-word middle line. The poem name […]

Reading: Continuing with books to review and craft books, depending on if I’m reading in the living room with a cat on my lap (physical books) or as I wind down before bed (ebooks). I’ve become one of those people who reads more than one book at the same time! Watching: Recent watches included the […]

Already this year, I’ve had five things published–four stories and a poem! “Good to the Last Drop” is a microfiction piece that appeared in the January issue of The Antihumanist. It’s a darkly humorous story about coffee and space travel. My poem, “Slime, or Primordial Ooze?” was published in the January issue of Star*Line. This […]

Reading: I’m in a weird place between having read a bunch of books over the holidays (with travel and whatnot) and not having picked up anything new yet. So at the moment, I’m not reading anything. And it’s weird. Maybe I can tackle some of my graphic novels finally! Watching: We finished Hawkeye, and we started […]

Tomorrow begins a new year, which is also a great time to take on a new writing challenge! This month, I’ve got some words derived from a couple of non-thematic lists I found, mixed in with some totally random words. So you may discern some themes from day to day, but hopefully the inclusion of […]
