  • Writing Schedules

    I was asked recently what my writing schedule looked like. My answer? “Well, I write when I write.” The only consistent writing I’m currently managing is blogging. And by “consistent writing” I mean, I post some kind of blog post every week between here and the main blog. They’re not all fantastic, but they do…

  • Writing Journal: Doubting My Work

    I want to do something new on Thursdays. I want to share with you my thoughts on writing, mine in particular, challenges, updates on the book I’m working on, etc. I finished writing my first project earlier this year. It’s a tiny book of personal essays. I’d printed a couple copies of the first full…

  • Kathleen Collins: Notes from a Black Woman’s Diary

  • …You Would Cry Too If It Happened To You

    16. Write abut a confrontation at a birthday party. I’m sitting in my closet with the door closed, knees to my chest. Well, not quite. I’m a bit chubby and have a growing set of boobs, so my knees don’t actually reach my chest, but you get the point. The tears on my face are…

  • Next Lifetime

    18. Recreate a memory you have Why did I do that? Why did I let my boyfriend drive off with my best friend? I asked myself that question so many times over the years. As much as I want to say I’d forgiven them both, I just couldn’t get it out of my head. Something…

  • The sound of anger

    23. Describe the feeling of anger using only sounds Hot oil crackling in a skillet Hard footsteps on soft carpet Air forced through nostrils Fist hitting wall Metal utensils scraping metal pots Knuckles cracking Complete silence

  • Another World

    5. Something strange is found inside an abandoned bar “I don’t want to just go in there like that. Shouldn’t you call the realtor to set up a showing?” “It’s abandoned, Tash, there’s no realtor to call.” Ruck chuckles. “That makes no sense. Even abandoned buildings can’t just be taken over. I’m sure you have…

  • To: Liam

    4. Write a letter from one of your characters to another I can’t believe how suddenly you showed up in my life. It was so easy to let my guard down. This is not a break-up letter, so don’t worry. When I was at my lowest point you came through for me. Yours was the…

  • Germophobe’s Guide to Library Books

    I love libraries. I love books. I love having access to books from libraries for free. And so do lots of other people. I am the type of person who always has hand sanitizer in her bag. I also keep a little bottle of rubbing alcohol in my car and one next to my bed.…
