    No more Secrets, right?

    By Aditus

    We know who wrote which story and won this year’s contest. Congratulations Gary L. And now? Watching the horizon thoughtfully and waiting for inspiration to strike? Or you could write a prompt story and maybe expand it…. PT Prompt #354 What if you could make objects talk? Heinrich Heine’s quill, for example. (I just saw it at a museum.) Which object would you choose, and what does it tell you?  PT Prompt #355 Five friends are playing a board game. After a while, they roll num

Weekly Wrap Up (Dec. 8 - Dec. 14)

So who is counting days?  Only 10 days to the start of Chanukah!!!   Oh. Looking at my calendar it appears that is the same day that is Christmas  this year. If I missed a holiday, let me know. I will put in a mention for Festivus as it seems to have made it onto the North American calendar too! Once again, I apologize if you are not into the whole seasonal talk. You can skip down to the recap  if you want. I will be tackling another Christmas topic now. Last week we tal

A Holding Space but in A Different Place

I first came across Wicked when I read the novel, in the early 2000s. I enjoyed the book’s story and themes, questioning whether are people born evil, made evil or just painted as evil. Isn’t it so easy just to have a villain? We saw the original London West End production of the musical, back in 2006. And last month we saw the first film, in the two film version of it.

Brainstorming for sequel stories to Of Pride and Power

Historical fiction is still on my mind and honestly, I know I've come a long way in writing it. -I do want to focus on Sengoku Jidai within this universe and open the door to explore the Far Eastern conflicts between China, Joseon (Korea), Nippon (Japan), India, and Habsburg Empire (Spain, Portugal, and Austria were in the Far East during the 16th century) -Eli's revenge campaign and the collapse of the Russian Empire might seem like a major problem for history down the road, but in th
