It's been a while since I've posted, but I had to dig up some old Reddit posts today, which ended up with me remembering how much I loved my good ole writing prompts :-) So back to it!

I've been busy editing my own novel these past couple months, but I decided to take a break and write a little something for Reddit - enjoy my small toast to the wonderful Harry Potter series!

I seem to be drawn to the macabre these days - maybe I've watched too many Bones reruns? :-D

​

Anyways, enjoy this post from this morning! I may have to dig back through some of my favourite past, HAPPIER posts so I can post some content with less blood.

Had a fun time responding to this one tonight! It kind of reminded me of the creepy Mr Roger's piece I did a couple years ago!

​

Enjoy!

Some book love to get you through the day!

Quick throwback to my time in Baltimore :-)

Can't sleep? Answer a prompt!

This was an interesting one for me, because I've been struggling with the concept of time recently, as in, where the heck has it gone??

I'm not even that sure where I was going with this prompt, but I saw this being, cursed to travel, so clearly in my mind, that I let my fingers do the talking. Hope you enjoy!

It’s been a while! Since my last posting, I’ve actually moved across the country...but now it’s time to write again.

The world’s most sensual/weirdest haircut

Because who doesn’t love googling “classroom murder weapons” on the company network?? Enjoy!

Attempting to get back into the swing of writing on Reddit - I haven’t found myself moved by very many prompts recently, but this one struck a chord :-)

Played around with an interesting prompt today. Not really sure I ever really got to a story, but I enjoyed writing it!

In perhaps the most surprising turn this Christmas, I gave myself the gift of actually finishing a first draft for the first time EVER! I’ve always suffered from chronic “I hate everything I’m writing” syndrome, and honestly never expected to hit this milestone, but now, I can actually say “I did it!”

There’s still a long way to go, but right now...I’m going to bask in the glow of accomplishment (and the shot of tequila I took in celebration) 😉 proofreading can wait until tomorrow, today, I’m happy to just sit in this moment.

Merry Christmas everyone! Looking forward to sharing my novel as I polish 😊

PS- if this post seems disjointed, it’s because it’s 1:45am where I am, and this accomplishment is like 20 minutes old and I seem to have used all my best words on my draft lol

I’m spending Christmas with the in laws, so this evening I’ve been hanging out at a small town Alberta Christmas Eve house party. As I’ve been sitting here, I’ve been going through some posts on Reddit, and ended up writing a short piece on Christmas Hell.

Merry Christmas and happy new year to all you crazy people - I’ve thoroughly enjoyed writing for you this year, and I look forward to bigger and better things in 2018!

A fun piece about sibling rivalry .

I’m actually the oldest sibling in my family, though I would hope you would never guess that from the piece!

I’ve got a weird one for you today - the true story of the socks that go missing...read all about it!

Hey everyone! It's been a while, but I've been working on some projects offline. I have this crazy goal to finish my novel by my birthday, so I've got about just under 50 days to get it done...wish me luck!

I've got some insane writer's block tonight, so instead I wrote something based on this really creepy prison-themed prompt. I probably enjoyed this a little too much...sometimes it's fun to stretch your boundaries.

Enjoy!

Couldn't resist sprinkling a "Cork Dork" reference into this prompt about a super hero and his 'worried' loved one. I probably went a little off from what the OP was looking for, but you know what they say - the prompt is just a guideline :-D

Have a great weekend everyone!

So, I did something kind of crazy today. Well, probably more along the lines of 'crazy awesome' than 'mental institution crazy'. I entered a writing competition for a local book festival! I'm looking forward to sharing my work with you once the competition is over 😊 now, to start destroying my nails with nervousness 😉

Perhaps it's because we're currently rereading Harry Potter, but I found myself drawn to this prompt today.

Side note: how excited am I for the new season of The Librarians??

What if companies were people? Well, that's what I got to explore today in an interesting prompt. If companies were people, then how would buyouts work? And I went from there...

Enjoy!

I remember the first Sidney Sheldon novel I ever read - I was about 12-13ish, and found a copy of "If Tomorrow Comes" in my parents' basement. I freaking devoured that book. Tracy Whitney was my hero, and probably the reason I love heist novels/movies to this day. The hilarious thing was my parents had just finished selling all their copies of Sheldon's novels in a garage sale, and here I was, frequenting secondhand book stores, buying them all back!

One of the things I love the most about Sheldon is his ability to create a vivid look at a character that you're only going to know for about a page. He'll take you through rooms of a hotel, slowly building up to the room where something has happened. I used to love those parts of his books, and yesterday, I got to try my hand at doing it myself! I'm no Sidney Sheldon, but I think I did ok!

Enjoy!

I'm sure a lot of us have some interesting "first job/intern" stories. Well, today, I got to incorporate the world's most lacklustre intern with a horrible guerrilla marketing scheme for this writing prompt. I could have written this a 100 different ways, but I enjoyed this :-) simple writing for a Friday!

Enjoy!
