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 […]

As I’ve mentioned before, Scenes from a Quiet Apocalypse came out of the 2017 Write Like You’re Alive challenge from Zoetic Press. This also wound up informing the format for the story, too.

During the month of August, I worked on what will eventually become a book called Scenes from a Quiet Apocalypse. It’s a bit of an experimental story, told through vignettes and pieces of poetry. I wrote it as a part of the Write Like You’re Alive challenge, hosted by Zoetic Press, which challenges participants to write […]

Last year, I took part in a month of creating called “Write Like You’re Alive.” The goal was to create something each day during the month of July.
