Writing Club: Art & Madness

The prompt for this scene was to write an artist going mad as they attempt to complete their magnum opus, their great work. And the pieces that were written were fantastic. I know some very creative people. These pieces defiantly had a horror vibe. Trigger Warning: Blood. Self mutilation. Read at your own risk. Writing

Writing Club: Non-Fiction | Dinosaurs

When you give a nerd a chance to research… The prompt for this piece was dinosaurs or just extinct reptiles or extinct birds. The evolutionary splits are quite fantastic, but that’s a rabbit hole for an other time. This was either a loved or hated prompt because dinosaurs or animals alive during the days of

The prompt for this piece was to write a character description. There were no requirements as to the character and this piece got some really interesting responses. One of my favorites was an inverse and it was the description of someone’s absence – it was a beautifully haunting piece. My piece is based off my

Orcas Island: Mainland & San Juan Ferry

Colorado: Estes Park Adventures

We were in Estes Park for a family reunion and we did a ton of stiff while there. Some of this stuff we did with a lot of family, some was just with a small group. All of it was fun. We did a lot of things for a variety of fitness levels. The Via

Writing Club: NEWS Story

The prompt for this week was to write a news story. This is obviously a fake story, but I did my best to write in the inverted pyramid news style of an actual news article that you would find in a newspaper. This was defiantly inspired by the Artemis II trip around the moon. The
