Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
Here is a bit of a late Valentine’s Day poem from our writing group. The topic for this week was romance in any form. I did not win writer of the week but Keltin did get 2nd place. Happy (late) Valentine’s Day. Happily Ever After Happily ever after,That’s what the fairy tales sayHappens at the
Hello all! I have been writing even if I haven’t shared anything recently. I was really happy with the story below. The prompt was actually a call back to one of the original ones. We picked color swatches and used the names in the story. In writing this, I wanted it to be almost like
This story was a ton of fun to write. It got me my third writer of the week – although I did tie with another person and I can’t be mad about that because I voted for their story as well. This prompt was a little weird. We rolled D&D dice to determine which D&D

The prompt from this week’s writing group was historical fiction set a 1,000 or more years into the future. Mine is based off of a mocumentary style historical fiction that someone in the future mistakes for actually history and then runs with making it even more ridiculous. This was a lot of fun to write.

The snow a couple weeks back cancelled our writing group for the week. However, we did have virtual meetup and share haikus about snow. These were easy and fun. As a reminder haikus are three lined poems with a count of 5-7-5 syllables. Elsa’s power coatsBear sniffs, Bear, slips, Bear slides…downFrost chills soft pup paws
It has been a while since I posted a writing exercise. This one was a fun one, we all contributed song lyrics and then drew one at random. From there we could write anything using the selected lyrics as inspiration. I don’t remember the song my lyrics were from but I did use them to
