GUYS!! Remember that contest I told you about a while back? The flash-fiction thing I was a finalist in? The one I had a mental breakdown over because I was traveling during the last week and had only one day to write my final entry and everything seemed bleak and dismal and-- Yeah, so, I [...]

The March for Life 2020 // much aggressive walking ensues
Well hello, my minions! Guess where I've been?? That be the March for Life. Shout-out to the guy in the bottom-right corner who was disturbed by me randomly taking his picture. So here's how it happened: We were at church one day, talking about it with a friend of ours. A local Pro-Life organization [...]
A Somber Story
Well HELLO, folks. I didn't write anythingj last week because the March for Life happened and I ended up going. (It was really awesome.) (Proof of its awesomeness can be seen in the fact that there were 225,000 human beings in one tiny space and I still say it's awesome.) I had a really nice [...]
In Defense of Pink Spray-Paint // a short story
Well well, my friends, happy Thursday! For lack of entertaining stories or inspirational tragic musings, I come bearing a short-story. A very old short-story I wrote last summer and like quite a bit. Behold: In Defense of Pink Spray-PaintShe sings while she paints, and sometimes dances, but no one cares because this is the [...]
Journaling Joy // 100 days of choosing happiness
Sometimes I feel sad. ("I feel ya, sister," says the internet personality in my head, chipper to the last. "Sometimes I feel like giving up on life and drowning my sorrows in ice cream and memes.") Sometimes I feel lost. ("It's rough, sister. It's rough.") Sometimes I forget who God is. ("Been there, done that," [...]
The Elf Returneth // resurrections + resolutions + a rad new decade
Before I welcome myself back and gush about the new year, I'd like to issue a formal apology for using the word "rad" in my post's title. Do I like the word rad? No. Is it a redundant word that should be eradicated (*coughs* eRADicated... okay now I hate myself) from the English language? Absolutely. [...]
Broken-Down Band // preptober prompts + week 4, day 4
Hello, humans! Today is technically the last day of my Preptober Prompts week, so before we get into it, I think I’d better explain what’s been going on with my weird posting schedule, and why I’m proving to be such a shabby host. Basically, writers’ block. (Blame it all on writers’ block.) No, but seriously. [...]
The Catastrophe of Christmas // preptober prompts + week 4, day 3
Yeah, so. This is late. It's been a rough few days... The Catastrophe of Christmas Tramping through six inches of snow and being brained in the face by a snowball is not Liriel’s idea of fun. In fact, her idea of fun is so radically different from the current situation, she’s contemplating writing [...]
Common Sense // preptober prompts + week 4, day 2
Heyo, humans, welcome back to week #4 of Preptober Prompts, hosted by yours truly! Today's prompt is... *drum roll* And le song I chose-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2CQ1GpMA2o For the record, this isn't my favorite song. But I do find it interesting, and it fits Liriel fairly well, so huzzah for that! (Also, the Orchardists are [...]
Feral Amusement // preptober prompts + week 4, day 1
Hullo, humans! Thus begins the last stretch of October until NaNoWriMo (when we'll bid our sanity farewell), and with it comes Week #4 of Preptober Prompts. (Otherwise known as my week.) Who's excited?? (If you didn't shout "ME!!!" at your screen with the gusto of a tone-deaf rooster, I'm ashamed of you.) If you missed [...]
