This is my third NaNoWriMo themed post. If you’d like to stay up-to-date with everything that’s happening with me this […]

Continue ReadingCute OTP Story Prompts (SW#26)
Heyo Bookaholics! Beating the Writer’s Block! Inspired by tumblr text posts that are seen all over social networking sites and usually appear unwarranted and when you least expect them. They’re always so cute, angsty, and just overall adorable figments of the writer’s imagination. I know that reading other people’s OTP story prompts has helped me clear my writer’s block and inspired me to write, so I hope that my little mismatched ideas do the same. Feel free to use these […]
Continue ReadingChoosing A TBR (Short Story) StoryTime Wednesday #24
Heyo Bookaholics! Storytime Wednesday Is Back! “If I hadn’t gone and purchased another five books, maybe choosing my TBR for this month wouldn’t be so hard.” Lilly’s exasperated sigh reached the phone, and a laugh was played back. “You know Lil.” Rachel’s voice was muffled from the speaker being smooshed into the blanket of Lilly’s bed. “I think this book thing is crazy, but maybe a little logic can help you.” Lilly nudged the phone a little to clear the […]

Heyo Bookaholics! It’s been busy. Once upon a time, there was a King who had two sons. One was tall with long blonde hair and broad shoulders. His name was Tristan. The other son was shorter, older with cropped chestnut brown hair, and the beginnings of a beard forming around his jaw. The King was content with his heirs. Two respectable young men who could hold their own in a battle. He raised them all on his own, with a […]

Heyo Bookaholics! I love sharing things about the book I’m writing and today I give you all something special! A snippet/ flashback from one of the characters in the novel! Currently Chapter 19 NO ONE BUT Vince knew about the kiss. They were as close of friends as anyone else in the group. She’d told him to be at her house at exactly 5pm so they would make it to the party on time, joking that she’d leave without him […]

Heyo Bookaholics! There was no plan for this one… There was no plan for any of them. The Room Of Nightmares. Where are you? The room is bare, no walls or doors, or tables, or chairs. The room has white walls, bright white walls. Not like the freshly painted kind either. These are the kind that look like they were crafted of a matte white sheet smoothed to perfection, no shine at all. You spin around and around and around […]
Continue ReadingKing Of Ruins (SW #20) – Short Story
Heyo Bookaholics! The photo in the header image inspired this post. King of Ruins He picks up his father’s crown from atop the dead man’s head. The old man’s eyes staring blankly back at him, the whites glistening from the tears he had shed while the pain and shock of his death set in. His castle had fallen around him and now one large chunk lay on top of his bottom half; one could only assume the state of his […]

Continue ReadingPlanned Conversations (SW#18) : Therapy
Heyo Bookaholics! Some things cannot stay in my head… Therapy “So I’ve decided not to take the medication.” My therapist and I had just settled into our respective seats facing each other when I broke the news – if it is even ‘news’ at all. I’d been thinking on her proposal for two weeks now, but deep down I knew, I really knew that medication isn’t the right thing for me. “Why? I think you should consider it.” She replied, […]
