Hour 2 (sort of?): 9am

The story has written itself. Time to type.

Yes. I do write the short ones by hand first.

Coffee and a book. Currently reading the Florida Writers Association anthology (2025). One of my shorts makes an appearance though I'm mostly enjoying all the other stories in here.

I've procrastinated enough today. Time to go write.

Sometimes prompts do not spark joy. 😂 But I set my brain to the task while I slept, and it came up with an idea that (hopefully🤞) won't be done by everyone else participating this month.
The creative prompts for the #FuriousFiction famously change every month. From pictures to emojis to locations and even the phonetic alphabet. What will October's be? Who knows what could pop up...

September was rough 💔 Family health struggles + a new job meant writing slipped away. But today — a lift 🌸✨ Two of my poems were accepted by Hibiscus Lit Mag! Grateful, teary, and holding onto the reminder that words still find their place 🥹💌

I just submitted my entry for this month's Furious Fiction contest. We were prompted to use a famous landmark as a location, and I wonder...

What famous landmark would you choose?

(the one I chose is not one of these, btw)

My goal for @notquitewrite.com in April was a shoutout. Mission accomplished.
This one has a new title - "The Bag Stops Here" - another 450 words and has been subbed out to find a new home.
April round @notquitewrite.com shout outs!
I had this to say about the story "Never Put Dog Poop in a Recycling Bin" by Cristina Farinas:
"Pretty memorable title. And on brand for NQW."
Bahahahaaaa. 💩

Rainy Saturday mornings are made for revising and submitting stories. My NQW entry gained a new title and nearly 500 words before I sent it off to find a new home.🤞
