Move the Needle

Move the Needle -Time to Focus

Hello and welcome back!

In this week’s round of Ego’s Blog Challenge, we’ve been asked to plan a schedule. We need to plot out a week with as much or as little detail as we’d like, selecting a specific time to write with the number of words we want to reach.

Technically, I was supposed to schedule the challenge for this week, but life got in the way and said, “Just kidding, you won’t be writing.”

My Goals, Writing, and A Commitment.

My Goals, Writing, and A Commitment.

Hey there!

In this next blog challenge, we were asked to consider our goals for writing. You would think this would be easy, but it wasn’t. I had a hard time putting into words what it is I want. I had to set aside any notions within myself that I assumed were cliche and be honest. Isn’t that the point? If not, then why do it at all? So let’s get real, my darlings.

Here we go!

At the End of the Day

At the End of the Day

Hey all!

For this version of prompt night, we were given three words to use in our short amount of time: Year 3018, Night Sky, Freedom.

I went a little different than usual but hope you enjoy it. (:

Until Next Time, Shay

An Unexpected Course Ominous clouds rolled overhead as a wave slammed into the side of the ship. “Oy, We’ve got lightning, Captain,” Naive shouted from the crew’s nest.

What time is it?

What time is it?

It’s dark outside as my eyes fly open and I realize I’m staring at my ceiling. I jump out of bed, my heart racing. I don’t know what time it is. I remember laying down but it’s been an hour? Six?

I can’t tell.

A quick glance in the alarm clock’s direction tells me that I’m late for work. This is never a good sign, but what can I do? It’s too late to fix it. I quickly jump in the shower and wonder…

The Choice

Dear Diary,

Sometimes, I really hate telling the truth. It’s not so much that I can’t. More no one wants to hear it. At least, not the way that I have to say it.

Today, I have to give a speech concerning my stance within the magical vs. non-magical realms and substances. If I tell the truth, there’s no going back. The other mages, wizards, and witches will want my head for leaking out important…

The Shoe Box Secret {Part One}

The Shoe Box Secret {Part One}

“Oh, good grief. Are you kidding me?”

Cece tossed a handful of her husband’s laundry into a basket and forced the closet door open. “Where the heck does he even wear all of these clothes?” She bent over and picked up five more t-shirts, and a pair of pants then added them to the clothes she’d collected from his side of the bed. She knew it had been a while since their last laundry day, but she…

It’s time for a mini challenge. 😀

{Currently} {Loving}

I love pandas. They’re adorable, fluffy, and fantastic. How could I not?

Haha.

I love fresh fruit, cold sparkling water, and that we are in the summertime. With the warmer temperatures I can fish, swim, paddle board and tan. All of which are some of my favorite things to do. ❤

I am currently reading the book Robopocalypseby…

A Word to the Wise

“A word to the wise” is an idiom that we’ve all heard at one point or another in our lives.

My first thought? It’s used to emphasize someone has given instruction or is about to provide useful information. So I think its appropriate for Amanda’s next challenge: give your very best advice.

I feel as though advice is subjective in many ways. What works for you might not work for me. What I do find,…

"A Life Lived in Fear is a Life Half Lived." - Baz Lurhmann

“Fear” posts are never something I thought I’d ever write about, much less as a blog post. Conveniently; I’ve written two. If you haven’t already read through my first one, there’s still time to do that. It’s right here.

Why am I writing a second? Well, funny you should ask. This post is in response to Amanda’s second blog challenge. In the first portion, we were asked to list five things that we…

A Raven's Tale - A Short Story

This short story is brought to you by Prompt Night on Discord. (: Prompt Kudos to Gianna Robbin

Raven shifted uncomfortably in the chair as she slid her silky black hair over to the left shoulder. A few curls bounced loose with the movement, but she ignored them as she attempted to switch her focus towards the front of the room. Their lessons ran unusually long today, causing her to grow…

When A Stalker Follows

When A Stalker Follows

“I’m telling you, there is someone out there.”

Tracy glanced from the window to her sister. She knew she wasn’t crazy but she just needed Debbie to believe it too. “Will you just get over here. Quick, before he leaves.” She waved her hand towards herself as if fanning  the heat away. Debbie rolled her eyes and released a sigh before sliding her legs off her bed. She grudgingly walked towards the…

Hello, My Name is Shay and I Write.

Why This Writer Writes

I’m an aspiring author and it’s been approximately six hours since my last prompt response.

What am I currently working on, you ask? My first order of business is this really great new Blog Challenge that a friend of mine, Amanda, is hosting. She currently owns and runs this Discord server. I’m excited to participate and think it will be a great way to stay accountable. It’s also an invaluable…

Back in Action

I know, I know.

It seems like I’m always saying that, but this time should be different. My goal is to stay more consistent with blogging because the writing must continue!

What have I been up to? That seems like a fairly easy question to answer but I’ve come to realize that a lot has changed. I’m saving money for a pupper (and moving)! I can’t wait to get one. Should be another 13 months, but…

That’s right, I’m participating again this year and in true NaNoWriMo fashion, I’ve decided to start a new novel. What am I writing about, you…

The Start of a New Year

Attention! Attention… It is January 28! We are well on our way to the rest of the year, folks.
