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 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 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….
The Literal Challenge’s, Like the Prose, began on June 1st. Thirty stories to complete in thirty days. Piece of cake, right? I had good intentions on doing a blog post per day but became bogged down doing some other very important things on top of writing a short story per day. So here I am on day eleven and finally found some time to share one of my short stories. Yesterday we were given the task to write a trilogy….
A Play a Day Should Be Easy Right? It is day 6 of the #29PlaysLater challenge and it is challenging to say the least. One of my resolutions for this year was to learn a new craft each month, so February I am learning how to write a play by the seat of my pants….literally. I have been getting up every day around 5 am to tackle an entire script from beginning to the close of the curtain. It seemed…
Today is December 5th, 2019 and NaNoWriMo has long been over, but my brain had turned to mush. My original plan was to have this written and published by December 1st, but alas here I am. If you can’t tell by the extra-large photo posted above, I was a winner! I wrote 50,026 words by November 27th. Sadly I was at the office as I typed the winning words so I had to keep my excitement to a minimum, but…
