Garth looked across his desk discerningly at the young kid. Sure, this guy was in his twenties. He had been trained. But he was fresh meat. And Garth, twice his age, hated anything new. He leaned back in his chair, scratched his three day old stubble, and continued trying to size the newbie up.  Continue reading →

Last Weeks WW – Writers Gotta Write, Authors Gotta Publishphoto (25)

(me writing on the bus)

I’m still working on achieving success. But while I put my plan into action, I can share what I’ve discovered through the course of observing those that have become successful.  It seems that no matter what you’re trying to succeed at, be it writing or another pursuit, they all have some elements in common.  And they all start with P.

Everyone is born with a destiny. I am no exception to this fact. Some embrace it, others fight against it. Some destinies are bought and sold. However, mine was one that got dealt only once in the last three hundred years. And it was a destiny that no sane person would take.   Continue reading →

It was early morning. The sun had just risen, but I was already hard at work. Mop in hand, headphones in ears, I cleaned the expensive lobby floor of the Feed Corporation. Every day, six days a week, I started and ended my day here, keeping the place immaculate.   Continue reading →

Every Friday I post flash fiction.  They are whatever I’m inspired to write at the time.  I’ve decided to do a weekly serial novel.  Every Sunday, I’ll add a little more to the story, until such time as it’s done.

Last week, I started off a story.  It didn’t get much response.  I think I jumped the gun.  I shouldn’t just randomly start posting a novel on here.  I want to know what you all want to read!

I watched from the shadows as a happy couple made their way down the empty street. They picked the wrong, dark alley tonight. The moon hung high above, illuminating their path, but the nooks of the cityscape hide kept me concealed.

The two laughed and swayed as they traveled. She clung to her escort, unstable on her tall shoes, like a gazelle just learning to walk. Even from here, I could smell that he wasn’t as drunk as he pretended to be. He was playing the part, leading her on.   Continue reading →

***

You got through your first draft.  Congrats!  That’s amazing, and is possibly the single most important indication that you could actually take this crazy hobby to the next level and make a career as a writer.  Without this, none of the other steps to becoming published would even matter.  Continue reading →

Where to begin? There are so many things that I want to, no, that I need to remember. I find that there is a limit to the capacity of the human mind. And I fear I am reaching it. Eighty years of life, thus far, and I’ve already forgotten so much. How long will I continue to live before I lose myself completely?

Last Weeks FFF – Two Shots of Whiskey, and a Splash of Death

 zombiesapien

Henry sat behind the solid oak desk in his office. He stroked the finish, thinking about how he would miss it. He was piling his personal effects into a box, when a rap came at his door. His secretary had already been given her severance, and left while he tied up the loose ends of the business. He didn’t know who had come knocking.

“Come in,” Henry said.

Jimmy appeared. At thirty one, he was twenty years younger than Henry, but had a lifetime of troubles.   Continue reading →
