“Treasure”
Specks of sunlight glint,
like gems scattered in the sand,
dust catching the eye.

Traveler’s Haiku – Carried
“Carried”
Like a speck of foam
bobbing between salty swells

Haiku Sunday – Unwind
“Unwind”
Stresses numbed in waves,
falling away like sand grains,
washed out on the tide.

Switching Characters to Spice Up the Storytelling
I’ve had an exceedingly tiresome week, capped off by an exceedingly long commute home today — like, an hour and a half or more. And because I’m writing this on Thursday evening, the week isn’t quite over yet. So let’s listen to some soothing Appalachian-inspired folk.
Writing has also been slow for me, which has been due in part to laziness, but also because I keep spending more time thinking about my short story idea than actually writing WoEL.

Exploring the Story – World of Warcraft
I’m not a huge gamer. The most recent systems in our house are a Gamecube, which I’ve had for over 15 years — maybe 20, which is scary — and a PS2, which we just took from my in-laws’ house because my brother-in-law didn’t want it anymore.
However, there are a few games that I will always love to play. The main one, if you hadn’t guessed, is World of Warcraft, an MMORPG that first came out in 2004. I started playing in 2005, and I played off and on until about 2014.
Once again, the drums of Warcraft are beating in my heart, and I’m probably about to start playing again. There are a thousand reasons why I love this game, but the primary one is my love of exploring this world.

“Curious”
So many questions

September Write Day: Decisions, Decisions
August was yet another slow month on the writing front, but I feel like a lot happened this month. I was in Chicago for two days, which seems like several months ago, and we traveled basically every other weekend we had.
Still, I came to some interesting / pertinent decisions regarding my authorly life. Continue reading “September Write Day: Decisions, Decisions”
#Review: CLICK. by Luther M. Siler – Quick, Fun, Inter-Dimensional Action
I got Click. directly from the author after I won a contest on his site. I was the first to comment a random word from a video he posted, proving I actually watched it.
Click. is an exciting and action-packed story that’s easy to digest and hard to put down. As is typical with Siler’s stories, the dialogue is snappy and sarcastic, with one-liners and pop culture references peppered throughout.
Haiku Monday – One 2
“One 2”
…A time so finite,
excitement, nostalgia, both.
Hold on — not too tight.

Haiku Sunday – One
“One”
Looking through snapshots,
you’ve changed in so short a time.
A one-year lifetime…
