I was right - some type of lung flu. I took some herbs that should help clear the fluid from my lungs (I've had this many times before and will again) and hopefully I will be better tomorrow. My DH bought me a nice smooth writing pen, I propped myself up in bed (or on the couch) and worked on my male main character - who is a complete ass. He doesn't want to be what I wanted him to be at all. He's decided he wants to be the "dynamic leader" type when he was supposed to be the "dark, brooding knight" type.
No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader. ~ Robert Frost
Most of the oddball musings you will find on these pages are either the result of a random writing prompt, a childish dare - likely from a child, or an idea sparked by a random happening or muse. The rest are likely just the ramblings of a somewhat senseless mind or the recording of some tidbit deemed useful or inspiring. Enjoy your visit!

About the Labels
Those pages labeled "writing prompt" were written, usually in haste and with little to no editing, from a random writing prompt that was probably picked up from the internet somewhere.
The "inspired" posts are just what they sound like - inspired by dreams, actual events, or possibly even by reading and/or watching another piece of fiction. Although I'm sure all ideas are inspired in some fashion, the "imagination" series are plucked straight from my brain, and I really have no idea what sort thing might have spawned it.
If you want to read about my current novel's "progress" you are welcome to, or you can also read about those interesting tidbits that would tell you more "about me".
Or, perhaps, you would just like to see those "resources" I have found useful, at least in some moment of inspiration, if not a tool I use frequently.
If you want to skip all of my rambling and bumbling about, and just read the stories and parts of stories regardless of their label, "all fiction" is the place you want to go.
