The Mastermind – Part 1

I know, I know. Us outlaws are supposed to slink into the crowded inn wearing a dusty black cloak that’s faded to grey. We’re not supposed to draw attention to ourselves. But I can’t help it that my favorite color is bright pink. And if you’re going to wear such a fine pink cloak, you should wear it well, am […]

Dark Thoughts

The creek behind Olivia’s house loomed from the tree line, seemingly growing larger as the sound of cicadas grew increasingly louder. With effort Olivia finally wrenched her eyes away, shaking her head as if to clear it. She slammed the blinds down and shakily walked to her bed.  Olivia plopped down onto her bed, pulling her laptop into her lap. […]

My Writing Process

So traditionally speaking I don’t follow “normal” writing techniques. I don’t believe there are any solid “rules” to writing, and if there are, well… Rules were meant to be broken. Where To Begin A majority of the time my stories stem from thoughts, experiences or dreams. For example; being outside and alone in the dark of the forest, hearing a […]

The Music Box

I finish polishing the wood and open the lid of the music box. A tinkling melody floats into the crisp dawn air. Today is our anniversary and the song is the one we danced to on our wedding night. Not our customary first dance with our families surrounding us, their joyous smiles and tear-filled eyes watching. Although that song, and […]

My Writing Process

Let me start by saying I don’t believe there is a “right way” to write. What works for me may not work for you. I don’t believe there is a single rule that must apply to every writer, except that if you write, you’re a writer. That’s it. But writing is rarely that simple, is it? I found that reading […]

Nothing

Lucy took a long drag of her clove cigarette “I’m disgusting…” she thought to herself as she yanked her hood over her hair. She was looking at her feet as she trudged along the pavement, beat up black boots slapping the wet ground, not noticing the man she was about to run into. “Ooooof… shit sorry” she mumbled as she […]

Life Is What You Make It

Life Is What You Make It Some people say you have to love yourself before you can love someone else, I used to believe that and follow it. But, I think loving yourself is a life-long process of growth and learning. Every day there are obstacles to tackle, mountains to climb, lessons to learn that make you a stronger and […]

The Connection

                Ugh, my brother is hogging the connection again. I pull myself off my bed and march down the hall to his room. I shove open the door without knocking.                 “Hey! What are you doing in my room?” my brother shouts with pinched-together eyebrows.                 “Get off the connection. You’re slowing it down and I’m trying to do my […]
