Stories

April is National Poetry Writing Month, and this is my collection for 2021. The goal is to write 30 poems (one per day) throughout the month. The majority of poems are responses to prompts supplied by Jan Hutchinson. Since I turn fifty this year, a lot of them will feature remembrances, musings, and thoughts about the next fifty. A retrospective of my life.

These are the prompt stories that began in 2014 and continue until today. I hope you enjoy.

When humans make deals with demons, it doesn't usually end well for the human. Unless they've made a side deal with an even more powerful demon.

My cache of all prompt responses - 2015 and beyond. All stories rated mature even if not needful of the rating—you must decide.

How many words do you need to tell a story? Here are my attempts at micro-fiction - a series of unrelated mini tales, all under 50 words in length.

April is National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), and the challenge is to write 30 poems (one per day) throughout the month. This year, I decided to do something a little different. Each day (or every other day, depending on my mood) I will write a 'postcard'--a short poem about my daily dealings with the COVID-19 pandemic. I will also write other poems as the mood (and daily prompts) strike me. I think it will be an interesting exercise to see how the poems change across the course of the month.

Collection of stand-alone prose prompts and other shorts. Quick bites, in other words. A tasty snack or two.

A place for story prompts, true to life tales, articles, and pointless ramblings.

Initially a response to Prompt 775 for Chapter 1, but using Prompt 777 on Chapter 2
