Since I mentioned that last week’s prompt was the last one I wrote in 2018, you can probably deduce that this was the first one I wrote in 2019. It was tough, because this picks up in the middle of a plot that I had walked away from for most of a month. But in …
The title for this prompt may be a tribute to the Hat Films classic by the same name. (I can neither confirm nor deny.) Anyway, this was the last prompt I wrote in 2018 (in case you wonder how big my buffer is). I squeezed it in on a Saturday, the day before we flew …
It’s been awhile since I checked in on Azmih. So I decided I should brush the dust off him and renew his quest to determine what, exactly, this being trapped in rubies is. I came up with a delightful little scene and set about writing it down. Seven pages later, I realized that, while it …
As I mentioned last week, it’s been awhile since I checked in with several of my characters. Zita is another one that doesn’t get near enough love. So here’s another little tidbit from her past, involving the awakening of her powers. . . . “You know what it is don’t you?” The statement snapped Zita …

This is part three of the story I started in Child of the Plains and continued in Man of the Mountain. I got the idea for this particular story during our drive to Calgary. It was my first time passing through the Canadian Rockies and I was stunned by the majesty and diversity of the …
When I started writing prompts based on random photos found during my many stock photo combing sessions, I figured they’d all stand alone. After all, the idea shows up, you write it down and you move on with your life. But one day a sequel just so happened to show up. And when the muse …
This is part two of the story I started in Child of the Plains. I got the idea for this particular story during our drive to Calgary. It was my first time passing through the Canadian Rockies and I was stunned by the majesty and diversity of the mountain faces. In fact, the more I …
Back when I started the Seven Deadly Sins project, I joked that there were probably enough off-shoots of Domerin that I could write a prompt for each sin featuring him. It’s taken some time but I have, indeed, found a Domerin for every sin. So far we’ve covered Wrath, Pride, Envy and Sloth, Gluttony and …
Since I’m about to wrap up the 7 Deadly Domerins series, it’s time to start a new one. I’m really enjoying these little serials, actually. It’s giving me a chance to explore the grey space between short and long fiction. A lot of these ideas might eventually make their way into novels but, for now, …
