What Is cHaoS! and Why? For those of you who didn’t attend, ‘cHaoS! the book signing and more,’ here are the details on what cHaoS! is and why it was written and self published: cHaoS! is for readers and writers alike. I hope it helps writers who are unsure about sharing, become more confident as well as finding the inspiration to share what you’ve written. You will most likely be surprised to learn that what you wrote is actually amazing….
This is a snippet from my story titled, That Day. It was written for Day one of the Prose, Prose (Prose) challenge that I created to challenge myself and others during the month of June. The Secret She never talked about it. It was something that she would keep tucked away. No one could ever know. Not even her husband. It was something that she would have to take with her to the grave. She didn’t even know how it…
I decided to start a writing challenge for June after learning The Literal Challenge canceled the Like the Prose this year. I was quite heartbroken so why not create my own challenge and call it Prose, Prose (Prose). I sent an invite out to some writers and now have 16 committed to the challenge. I figured I could share the prompts here as well. Maybe they’ll help inspire you. Day 1 of Prose, Prose (Prose) Day in the Life It’s…
I missed posting yesterday and I meant to do it this morning however time just got away from me. Today’s Scriptly Writing prompt was to write a script for a Tik Toc video. I don’t Tik Toc so I created a script for Scream Camp scene. A scene that would be shown in black and white film reel style. Silent film. Suspense. I titled it Fade to Black. I hope it’s enjoyable and would love a like and any feedback…
Happy Tuesday. Today is day two of The Literal Challenge’s, Scriptly Writing. As promised I will be sharing the newest script. The prompt was to place your characters into a bedroom. I followed it for the most part. There were bunks in the cabin, so technically they were in the bedroom, but never laid on the beds. This script would technically come before Kitchen Talk which was yesterday’s latest installment, so if you read it you will know who Ellie…
Today is day one of Scriptly Writing. This is the second year that The Literal Challenge has put this on and it’s quite fun. Fourteen days to write fourteen scripts. This year I’ve decided to share mine and even if no one reads them it’s keeping myself accountable. The first prompt is to place your characters in a kitchen. Any kitchen will work. I’ve decided to utilize these prompts to create scenes for my full feature length titled, Scream Camp….
The Literal Challenge’s Scriptly Writing begins today! What is Scriptly Writing you ask? It’s 14 fun filled days of writing 14 fun filled short screenplays. Does it sound fun, crazy or both? Definitely both! I am also participating in The Literal Challenge’s A Dozen Daring Dramas, which is writing 12 full length scripts for each month in 2021. Crazy fun! So this means I will be writing 14 short screenplays and a full length screenplay this month. Why? Why in…
I often find myself going back and reading through a book that I’ve read through many times. The Right to Write by Julia Cameron is one of these books. It’s one of the books that has given me so much motivation. It’s the book that motivated me to create this website, keep writing when I didn’t feel like it, and so much more. Morning Musings. One of the first things Julia writes about is very simple and if you haven’t…
I was sitting down yesterday attempting to finish the first story for Del Plazo. Everything is written except the first story and the appendices and I just cannot focus. This is when the idea for Chaos was born. What is Chaos? By definition: complete disorder and confusion. Behavior so unpredictable as to appear random, owing to great sensitivity to small changes in conditions. Chaos to me is what I assume all writer’s go through on a daily basis. My brain…
I created and edited my first anthology, Thirty Days, Thirty Stories: An Anthology of Shorts in 2020. The journey began after I wrote thirty fresh short stories over the course of thirty days. For the annual Literal Challenge: Like the Prose. Author’s feverishly write a story after being given a prompt. After thirty days you have thirty new babies to share with the world. I am a sucker for any challenge and knew that this would be a fun one….
