PROMPTuesday #156: The Easiest PROMPTuesday Ever in EverEverLand
Tonight I plan to take my friend out for her birthday, a feat that is amazing considering the scheduling back-and-forths of five other people. Because see, my friend’s birthday was last Monday. Last LAST Monday. But what matters is that we finally did it! God stars sprinkle from the heavens! At any rate, we will…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #155: Former Life
In this day and age of Facebook, I thought I’d ask a possibly relevant question: Have you ever received a letter/email/friend request from a former lover? (This can be fictionalized) Please post your submission in the comments OR post in your blog and leave a link to your blog in the comments. …Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #154: Celebrity Encounter
Pretty self-explanatory, right? My new pal Surfer Wife writes these celeb encounters so deliciously you ask for extra blueberry syrup on her outrageous prose pancake. That didn’t sound proper in the least. As for me, I lived in Los Angeles for several years and you better believe I got some stories. Coming soon,…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #153: Drifter
I still need to post my PROMPTuesday submissions for the last two weeks (prompts: “hoarder” and “road trip“), but in the meantime? Today’s PROMPTuesday is: Is there someone in your life you let go who you wish you could reconnect with today? Please post your submission in the comments OR post in your…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #152: One Word Again

PROMPTuesday #151: Road Trip
Do you remember this? Now it’s YOUR turn. Write about a road trip you’ve taken. Heartbreak optional. Please post your submission in the comments OR post in your blog and leave a link to your blog in the comments. First time to PROMPTuesday? Read a bit about it here. Want to see…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #150: Follow the Trail
Good God, it’s been three years of PROMPTuesdays almost to the day. That’s a long time of me sticking to something. So let’s celebrate with some good old-fashioned storytelling! Take a look at the picture below, and write a story in 10 minutes using the words “detective,” and “150.” (I returned to the…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #149: Flash Fictionize
I wrote this awhile ago for a Fiction Workshop, and just discovered it again. It needs work, but that’s the thing about flash fiction: It’s a great starting point for fleshed out stories. A fire starter of sorts. So…Today’s PROMPTuesday is: Write a piece of flash fiction (write 1,000 words or less, don’t edit)…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #148: The Road Less Taken
Many of my prompts lately have shared the same theme and I hope you’re all cool with that angsty fact. Self-examination is healthy right? Until it becomes obsessive? Not that I’d know anything about that. So this week’s prompt comes from a good friend who I love dearly and with every cell. She…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #147: Proceed As If
This Saturday, I’m auditioning for something where I have to get up in front of people and talk. Boy am I nervous. I’ve written before that my fortes are pen, paper, and the keyboard. Say my words? Yikes. Sure I did it once before, but before I even began to talk I stood shaking for…Continue Reading
