Inktober23 2023: Giant

I wish I had a better idea for such a fun prompt word, but I'm feeling a little uninspired this week. It's been busy and exhausting so writing something new/different has been difficult. The man before Wren looked like a man. Hair the color of straw, skin pale like those from Northern Point, eyes as …

Inktobert52 2023: Constellation

As night descended over the island, the temperature dropped. Wren shivered and hugged her arms across her body. The tunic Uro’s ladies had put her in didn’t help much whenever the breeze off the sea brushed through the treetops. It would be a long, lonely and cold night.  Letting out a huff, Wren pushed herself …

Inktobert52 2023: Odd

Wren knew she was odd. She could see it in the way the other children of the traveling troupe treated her when she would join them to play. She could see it in the way the adults of the troupe scrutinized her, as if they were waiting for her to mess up, to do something …

Inktobert52 2023: Skull

This is a bit delayed because of a busy weekend. I wish I could have come with a better idea for such a great prompt word, but my creative juices are running a bit low. Rip ran her fingers over the array of trinkets. Rings, lockets, the occasional brooch. The pawnshop owner watched her carefully …

Inktober52 2023: Puppet

This drabble kind of ran away from me and the focus (puppet), but I'm okay with it because it's helping me understand my characters and their world better. “Wren?” a voice piped up from beyond the tent flaps. A voice of honey and sugar and all things sweet. Eliza. With the golden curls that Wren …

Writing Update + April Camp NaNoWriMo 2020

It's been a while since I talked about my writing here. I intended to share more snippets of writing from the Teen Writing Club prompts, but the last time we met the exercise wasn't conducive for sharing and then all the other meetings have been cancelled so far since my library closed. *shrugs* Anyways, I've …

Sunday Snippets: 5 Words

I lead a writing club for teens at my library. Almost every time we meet, I give them some kind of writing prompt to challenge them. This past week, they picked a random slip of paper with five words that they then needed to incorporate in their writing in some way. Since I usually participate …
