Ooooh. Fancy, foreboding title for something not fancy or particularly foreboding! Happy New Year! I thought I’d do the cliché “what happened in the past year and what I plan to do in the coming year” because, let’s face it, there’s a reason it’s always done. It’s fun. So let’s blow this popsicle stand! Notable … More The End and a Beginning
Okay, first off, I’d just like to say that I’m nailing one post a day. Just saying. (A quick disclaimer: the methods I use do not make me an amazing writer, and I cannot, in good faith, tell you that they will automatically transform you into one. But I find these techniques quite helpful, and I welcome you to … More Behind the Writing: Reconstruction
Last part. Short and sweet. Hope you like it! 😀 Matthias quickly cancelled going on the bus to Park City and loaded his measly two boxes into the bed of “my” truck. We started driving. I shot Matthias the occasional sidelong glance. Finally, I cleared my throat. “I’m glad you’re alive, Matthias. Like, really … More Reconstruction, Part 4
Part three, enjoy! 🙂 Will’s words swam in my head that night as I tried to fall asleep. I had known, deep down, that they would never truly be children again. But I had hoped, I had so hoped, that if I didn’t demand too much, they could be. I rolled onto my stomach … More Reconstruction, Part 3
Part 2. Enjoy! Followup to “Epidemic.” Go here for part 1. We drove the four hours from the prison we had taken shelter in to Salt Lake City, where we pulled into the nearest apartment we could find, spoke to the man sitting at the front desk, got our key, and went to apartment 306. We … More Reconstruction, Part 2
Part 1. Hope you like it. Merry Christmas! 🙂 ☃ “Aaron, we do not throw the meatloaf at our brothers, we eat it!” I snapped at Aaron, snatching his plate away from him. Aaron was now six, a nasty little troublemaker, Jacob was eleven, William was fifteen, and I was nineteen. Twenty in a couple … More Reconstruction, Part 1
A sort of “teaser trailer” for the project. It’s the sequel to Epidemic. It’s gonna be pretty long. If you haven’t read Epidemic and you’d like to, go Here for part one, Here for part two, Here for part three, and Here for part four. This first segment isn’t very long, but I hope you enjoy … More Reconstruction, “Teaser Trailer”
This is going to be a short post. Mostly I’m writing it because I’m a writer, and as such, I have the evil pleasure of leaving my readers with a cliffhanger. So, here’s the cliffhanger: I’m working on a project. It’s not long. But I’ve had several of you ask me for it, and I’ve been … More I Have A Christmas Project
So, for English, we had to write down our dreams that we had in between last Friday and Tuesday, and then we were to analyze them. I had this one. It was purty good … Purty good. I woke up and rubbed my eyes. Out of my window, I saw fat flakes of snow … More I Had a Dream
I’m sick, and I always have the very best ideas when I’m sick. Also it’s Christmastime, so, like, all of my posts for the next few weeks will be Christmas-y. Before I get started on the actual introduction to this post, I believe I need to adress something; I DECORATED THE BLOG FOR CHRISTMAS. There are Christmas … More Christmas Tree Tour
