Calling All Artists! Do I have your attention? I’m writing to let all authors, poets, musicians, painters, and any artist types that I forgot! The Community Storyboard is a new and exciting blog where you can submit your work and have it showcased. You can get important feedback and…

The wall

D: A? A, where are you? Why is it so dark in here? What’s going on? Why is my voice echoing? Mommy, hold me! A: Chill, D. I’m here. D: Good heavens, woman! Don’t do that to me. A: Ha! Didn’t know you could jump that far, Druid. D: I didn’t jump . . . Continue reading “The wall”

Inspiration or muse’s fool?

D: I think you’re mocking me. A: What?! D: You! You’re mocking me. A: Okay, normally I’d say yes. But I’m not really sure what I’m mocking you about– D: How about yesterday’s little limerick, A? A: Oh, that. Ha. D: And then the ghost-town story, with the guy. And his hat. A: Uh. .Continue reading “Inspiration or muse’s fool?”

Saved by the box

A: You’ve been saved, D. D: Pray tell, how. A: Well, I was just going to reblog my post from the Community Storyboard, from Day 10 of the Creative Writing Challenge. D: You mean that bit of writing I see at the bottom, here? A: Uh huh. D: And how have you saved me, really?Continue reading “Saved by the box”

I wanna rock!

A: I need the music loud and big tonight! D: How about some panpipes? I have a lovely set somewhere over– A: No, D – not any of your bard-y fireside music. I need big – it needs to be heard over a body of water – music. D: Ah, pipes, then? A: And drums.Continue reading “I wanna rock!”

To the very last

A: Only 1,339 words left! D: Think you’ll make it, A? A: You bet your mother-goddess worshiping Druid arse! D: Is this a thing with you? A: (Snicker). Just wait. It gets better. D: You terrify me sometimes, you know that? A: Only sometimes? Hm. Need to work on that. D: Lovely. Did you haveContinue reading “To the very last”

Woke up in love this morning

Well, not really – not in the romantic sense, at least. I had a post all ready to go to A) dispute the Druid and his pompous proclamations, and B) analyze just why I am moping. Instead, I chucked it out the window. To quote my favorite doppelganger: bored now. Besides, the Druid is rightContinue reading “Woke up in love this morning”

The Druid Tells the Tale, Again

If you’ve been watching this space and following along, you probably know that A is experiencing some angst over the fact that her attitude towards me, and the story I’m telling through her, has changed. Really, what she’s annoyed at is that I made her cry. Personally, I think it serves her right. I mayContinue reading “The Druid Tells the Tale, Again”

Moping to the finish line

D: Are you trying to insinuate that I’m broody? A: There’s no insinuation about it, D, you are broody. D: I disagree. A: . . . Wait, that’s it? ‘I disagree?’ No snark? No, ‘bloody woman’ this, ‘intolerable’ that? Who are you and what have you done with my Druid? D: It’s a simple statement ofContinue reading “Moping to the finish line”

Hope

Other fiction I write has found a home on The Community Storyboard, and my trials and conquests with Paleo have found—wait, no that’s a spoiler – and D has his own outlet here when he takes the blog for a day to tell his tale. I decided that Sundays, instead of being a weekly updateContinue reading “Hope”
