So, way back in 2018 I had this idea for a Figure Skating story. I wrote what is below with that shred of any idea –and I liked it, but then decided…I could definitely do more with this. Aaaaaand, so there is about 20K worth of a novel sitting on my hard drive, featuring Hanna… Continue reading Heart On Ice — an Olympics Inspired Short Story

Camp NaNoWriMo: Day 18
First, I have been writing –I didn’t skip a day. In fact, I’m (as of writing this) about 1K shy of 70,000 words for the month with two weeks left to go! But, I’ve still been working that Pietr/Harper story…and, well. You know how I feel about that. So, for today, I thought I’d go… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo: Day 18
Camp NaNoWriMo: Day 15
You guessed it.No prompt.Instead, enjoy this cutting from what I currently have marked as Chapter Nine. Cutting: Chapter Nine Pietr was confused by Harper’s Instagram post when he opened the app on the bus back to the hotel. He’d seen the notification that he’d been tagged in two photos. Then, he managed to find the… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo: Day 15
Camp NaNoWriMo: Day 15
…I’m sorry. Is anyone enjoying this? I think Pietr Ivanov is one of my favorite characters I’ve ever written.He is almost as endeared to me as Heath Gibson –who is my own favorite original work book bae. Sigh. Enjoy this from today’s writing. For Contest: McKinley West is a rookie player on the same team… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo: Day 15
Camp NaNoWriMo: Day 14
Continuing from yesterday. This is from the end of Chapter Two. Cookies are dangerous, y’all. Prompt: Training Diets Suck. The bell over the door tinkled as they walked and a barista looked up from where he was wiping down a counter. “Hey Harper. Heard about the new book. Congrats. Can’t wait to read it.” The… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo: Day 14
Camp NaNoWriMo: Day 13
So…I discovered this evening (the 14th) that I have written 25K on this useless piece that I just titled “I Hate You Rachel Ried for Making Me Want to Play in Your Sandbox”. There you go. I admitted it. Is this fan fiction?Absolutely fucking not.Because I refuse to call myself a fan. Is it still… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo: Day 13
Camp NaNoWriMo: Day 12
Obviously, this is being posted a day late. This is because I did not draw a prompt yesterday. Instead, I was playing in someone else’s sandbox. I don’t want to say who’s (but it should be obvious if you’ve been paying ANY ATTENTION to me lately…). There is a certain sadness when you create a… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo: Day 12
