It’s hard not to let some words affect you, to keep moving forward in spite of the negativity and resistance, but in our efforts to rise above it all, this week’s quote is a great mantra to adopt.
Keep reaching for your dreams!

Writing Prompt #92
I was struck by today’s prompt visually, but I don’t have a story idea…yet.
Are you inspired?
Come write with me!
Writing Prompt #91
Seriously…where does the time go? I’ve been working on a rewrite, and the time is just flying by. And what’s bad about that, you may wonder? I don’t feel as if I’ve made any huge strides towards its completion, and yes, you’ve guessed it, there’s an approaching deadline.
Sheesh.
I’m all over the place, or at least it feels that way. I can’t let another week go by without tending to my blog and giving you a little inspiration to get you through the weekend. 😉
I like dialogue prompts because they’re open to interpretation. What does the above say to you? Are you inspired?
Happy Writing!
Quote Monday
In light of my last post, I’m having to give myself daily pep talks in order to keep moving forward. It’s a struggle all creatives must endure, and if you’re like me at the moment, know that you aren’t alone.
We can do this! We can overcome our fears and achieve what we want in life, we just have to be brave!
Wishing you all the very best!
Writing Prompt #90
I am totally fascinated by this image from Bryan Olson:
A very particular idea came to mind when I saw this, and because I’ve been lackadaisical in my flash fiction writing, I’m definitely going to challenge myself to write something about this.
Will you join me?
Happy Writing!
Quote Monday
Hi everyone! I’m back after a crazy week of Gishwhes, and a week of recovery.
I like to do a recap of the week’s events, and as you may have noticed the odd post about Miss Jean Louis, an item for this year’s hunt, it tends to get a bit weird and challenging. Because my memory is so fragmented, this blog has become a resource for me to keep track of things, so I’ll share Team Falkor’s antics later this week.
As for today, it’s time to get back to routine and progress!
In light of the creativity that abounds during Gish week, and the post I wrote just a few days before it started about how I was feeling burnt out, I am now seeking out alternative means for creativity. I’m looking to surround myself with people who are passionate and creative, because the above quote is true.
I have found myself inspired by other’s creativity, and I think that is a wonderful side effect to the creative life. So let’s be a creative force and make beautiful things!
Writing Prompt #89
I was at a bit of a loss as to which image to share for a Writing Prompt today. I scrolled through hundreds of images, not finding myself drawn to any one picture in particular.
And then I saw this:
I’m not sure what exactly is drawing me to this image, but I found myself scanning the crowd…
What do you think? Are you inspired to join me in this week’s Writing Prompt Challenge?
Happy Writing!

Quote Monday
On my days off, I had planned to write a couple of blog posts, but instead I did some cleaning, I applied for yet more jobs, started a rewrite, and did lots of reading. Lots and lots of reading.
It was nice to give over half a day to the enjoyment of a good book. I haven’t done that in a while. So my apologies for a lack of interesting things this past week. I’ll do my best to make up for it!
I saw this quote and felt it was apropos, and yet, I do not regret my time invested in reading. It’s really research for a writer. 😉 I do sometimes find myself wasting time and energy on things I know I shouldn’t, so this is a helpful reminder:
Have a great week everyone! Keep striving towards those goals!
Writing Prompt #88
I’m a romantic at heart. Despite what I may say randomly in other posts, I do love a happy ending, and it’s a big part of what I write. There’s enough negative in the world. Not wishing my stories to only be filled with fluff, there’s usually something else going on.
My Dragon Age fanfic, on the other hand, is pure fluff. It didn’t start off that way, but because I’m having so much fun writing it, it gets the “I can do whatever I want” treatment. And I’ve been writing a lot of it lately, so I sort of giggled when I saw this, and decided it’s the perfect Prompt to help me escape my current state of mind:
What do you think? Feel inspired to join me in this week’s challenge?
Happy Writing!
Writing Prompt #87
I need to get back to writing some flash fiction myself. So if you think it’s too late to write a piece based on something you’ve seen here before…think again.
Come write with me!
Here’s this week’s Writing Prompt:
I look forward to seeing your creations!
Happy Writing!
