When this started I wasn't sure how I was going to make this longer than 500 words. Since it's grown into 3 ~1000 stories (well, 2 so far but there will be a third) As always, feedback (positive and negative… so long as it is constructive) is greatly encouraged. The fight had only just begun and […]
This is something I've been working on recently that was inspired by the movie SuckerPunch (awesome movie!). It doesn't have a genre because it will probably cross several of them. Let me know what you think so far. Keep in mind it's still a rough idea. Christian made his way down the stairs, slowly drawing the […]
“That is not normal”, said Harley “No, that is way past normal” replied Phineas The cause of their concern was a 6 foot tall ELF. Presently he was brandishing what looked, for all the world, like a toy gun. Only a few minutes ago the ELF Commander Faulkner and Captain Remarkable had left on a […]
“No. Absolutely not. There is no way you are putting me in that… thing. Why don't you go?” “Don’t be a baby Phin! I’d go but I have to stay behind to operate it.”, Harley paused, “Unless you want to.” Phineas looked over the controls for the SantaCatcher 5000, his eyes passing over the hundreds of dials […]
“Uh, who exactly are you?”, Harley asked, wide eyed, as he sat on the console. "More importantly, how did you get on this ship?”, Captain Remarkable stepped forward, addressing the newcomer directly. "I took the sleigh.” “You took the what?” Harley perked up. “That doesn’t answer my question, we are in the Cloud for cripes […]
Phineas stared. He wasn’t sure if he was hugely impressed, or supremely terrified by what he was looking at. Either way, it held him in awe. “What were you trying to do?” “I was trying to capture Santa!” Phineas did a double take at Harley. Being fourteen inches tall and twenty seven inches long might be average for […]
There are two days left and I'm still at 13k words. But you know what? It's okay. This is another long missive. Weighing in about around 1300 words. Feel free to skip if you like, but I think some will find it interesting and helpful maybe. I knew going in I would never make 50k. I wanted […]
I'm part of a blog tour! I'm part of a blog tour! And I have no idea what that means :) I recently had the honor of being a beta reader for Emlyn Chand's Farsighted, and I can honestly say I was glad i read it. The central storyline revolves around Alex, a teenager who has […]
I came across this list over at proud book nerd (who got it from Rather barefoot than Bookless) and figured I'd post it here so that other fans of the YS genre could see it and to help me keep track of the books/series that I've read. I'm a huge fan of YA, and probably spend […]
I have a ton of ideas running through my head, most of which I will either never remember or never be able to get to (I do have to sleep sometime). So I figured I'd post a few up and let others use them as writing prompts. You don't have to post a comment here […]
