A: I think, when I grow up, I want to be Therese McMurphy. D: When you grow up? It’s a little late for that now, isn’t it, A? A: I’m always in the process, D. I mean, when I’m old – I hope I have enough stories. D: You talk to a time-travelling Pict inContinue reading “What’s in the box?”

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.

Super Duper

My entry for the Community Storyboard’s Creative Writing Challenge, Day 7: Save the Day. Create a superhero who saves the day. “Mommy’s a superhero! Mommy’s a superhero!” “Annabelle!” I blushed and smiled gamely at my date. He’d just arrived and we were standing in the foyer when Annabelle had decided to careen down the stair.Continue reading “Super Duper”

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!”

A: D! D, it’s here! D: What is here, woman? A: Careful D, or Nyx is going to blast you sky high. D: She could, too.

Oddments and triflings

D: A, you are an oddment and a trifling. A: Gee, D. With compliments like that it’s a wonder you spent your life alone! D: Oi! A: See, two play at the insult game. It’s not just yours to monopolize! D: (Grumble). A: Exactly. D: If not you, then what are our oddments and triflings?Continue reading “Oddments and triflings”

Where do we go from here? (Prompt)

D: A, this is a spoiler! A: No it isn’t, D. It’s a teaser. D: There’s a difference? A: Yes. D: And . . . ? A: D, it’s Monday. Let’s just let it be a teaser for Part 4 of the book, okay?! D: (Sigh) As you will.

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?

While A is away, the blog still gets to play. Please welcome Briana Vested from When I Became an Author. D is decked out in all the western finery he could rustle up from his imagination.
