Writing when you have ADHD

Writing when you have ADHD

I don’t officially have ADHD, I think. At least not an official medical diagnosis anyway. HOWEVER, I do feel like I have it when it comes to writing. Going through my folders I have at least 10+ stories started. Some good and some, I wonder what I was thinking… Reigning the ropes in a little I am pushing myself to finish these stories and get them published. I planned on sharing a flash fiction…

What I learned after writing for 30 days straight

What I learned after writing for 30 days straight

June’s 30 day writing challenge is officially over. I hope everyone who participated enjoyed pushing their creative imaginations. The purpose of this writing challenge was to just push yourself to write something everyday. It didn’t have to make sense, the words just had to flow. The more you write the easier it is to write.  So, what did I learn after writing for 30 days straight: Started…

Monk Monday: Take that first step

Monk Monday: Take that first step

Wrapping up the last Monk Monday; it’s all about taking that first step. Adrian Monk has a laundry list of phobias that affect his everyday life. However, none of them affect his true passion, being a detective. The phobias do get in his way when conducting himself but at the end of the day he is still doing what he loves, solving crime.  You might have things that make you think you can’t…

It's been pretty eerie here...

It’s been pretty eerie here…

Since the thunderstorm prompt from my 30 day writing challenge; the area where I live has been hit with severe weather. It started off with several strong thunderstorms and now the continuous rain is causing flooding. Major road ways are impassible. The rain doesn’t seem to be letting up anytime soon. It’s been hit and miss with our electricity too. This weekend was especially rough, because it…

Day 23: Hiking

If these boots could talk, they could tell you stories. They would tell you the many, many miles hiked. They would tell you various surfaces they conquered: mud, snow, rocky. They would tell you how they survived being cold and wet, but also dry and hot They would tell you all about the animals they heard and how some were scary They would tell you about the beauty hidden deep within…

Monk Monday: Empathize

Mondays suck, period. Mondays are a crashing reality that our freedom is gone for the next five days. If you are dreading Monday morning just realize you’re not alone.  So, if you are in a sour mood because of the start of another week, before taking it out on an innocent bystander, empathize with them and your day might go a bit smoother.   What is empathy? Empathy is being able to understand…

Day 21: Gardening

Sitting on the porch, sipping my tea. I look onward to the pile of dirt laying in my yard. For many years I have protected that dirt. I removed all the invading weeds. Scared away all kinds of insects/animals that wanted to claim it as their own. I’ve even fed it. Giving it valuable nutrients.  In return, it takes a tiny seed, gives it a home. Feeds and nourishes it. Allows it to put down roots.…

Day 20: Campfires

“Are you sure this is the way?” Chance asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “No, I thought I would just have us walk this way for shits and giggles.” Amy sarcastically replied.  Chance muttered something under his breath.  “What you say?” Amy asked. “If you’re going to mock me, at least have the balls to say it to my face.”  Chance started to say something but sighed and then…

Day 18: Heatwave

As midnight rolls around, Lucas opens his eyes to see that it is still light. The sun has been blaring nonstop for the last three days. The heat from the sun is becoming unbearable. Freezers are cracking under the stress of having to work so hard to keep up with the demand for ice. Lucas has blankets and towels covering all windows in an effort to keep the sun and its heat out of his house.…

Day 17: Boat

“Cannon ball!” Chad yelled before plunging into the water, creating a splash that rippled its way onto the boat. “Seriously?” Stacey scuffed. Laughing, Chad tries to splash more water up over the sides. Making Stacey back up. “Grow up!” She yelled while grabbing a towel.  “Chill out, Babe. It’s just water.” “Chill out? I’m soaking wet for Christ’s sake.” Wiping her face she adds “Plus, you…
