  • Writing In Suburbia #58: Let’s Talk About Stress, Baby!

    The Holiday season is upon us! And with that comes stress.

    Now, I don’t tend to get stressed out around Holiday time because I have the soothing balms of Xmas music coupled with making Chex Mix. But, that doesn’t mean I don’t have other stresses!

    So, in this episode I discuss the stresses I feel as a professional writer and how 2017 hasn’t exactly been a great year. Not only do I chat about my stresses, I also chat about how I cope with all the stress! Solutions! Huzzah!

    Have a listen and also have a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!

    Cheers!

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Hey there! I missed y’all last week. It was Black Friday and I spent the weekend buried under a pile of Pillow Pets. They were 75% off. I wanted the koala so I dug deep. Then it all went dark. That’s why I missed last week’s Drabble Party. My bad…

    But, hey, I’m back now!

    First, for the obligatory sales pitch: BUY MEGA 6!

    End obligatory sales pitch.

    On with the 100 words!

    Enjoy!

    No Friends
    By

    Five friends went into the woods. Four friends came back.

    What they saw, they never spoke about. What they did, they never told. What they experienced, they tried to forget.

    Four friends went into the woods. Three friends came back.

    What they saw, one of them spoke about. What they did, one of them told. What they experienced, one could never forget.

    Three police squads went into the woods. No police squads came back.

    Two friends found the third friend. Two friends took the third friend into the woods. No friends came back.

    The woods sighed. The woods were happy.

    And…scene!

    Okay, I’ll admit I have no idea why I wrote the intro to tonight’s post like that. I was channeling some pirate spirit or something.

    Probably not…

    In the dim light by the trees stood Halston. A towering figure that appeared diminutive against the backdrop of ancient redwoods.

    No one in their right mind would consider Halston diminutive, though.

    But, Vicky wasn’t in her right mind, was she?

    Vicky was…off. Not that Halston was on. All those blades…

    Vicky approached him. We all remember this, yes? She approached him and we gasped. We could see the blades! Halston’s blades!

    She did not care. She reached him and they were gone.

    Into the redwoods, lost in the ancient shadows. Gone.

    Oh, well. Those two were off, anyway.

    I’m back!

    Had to take last week off because I was in Washington State handling some personal business. It was great seeing the PNW again, I’d missed it, but it was good to get back home here in the good ol’ Cesspool of Sin (Asheville, NC. Look it up).

    So, how are y’all doing?

    I bet, right at this moment, you are wondering how you can get your hands on the audiobook of Razer Edge. I’m totally right, aren’t I?

    Here ya go! Give that pic a click and you can make your earholes the happiest earholes in all of Earholelandia (real place)!

    Now, on with the Drabble!

    Enjoy!

    Somewhere…
    By
    Jake Bible

    The landscape was destroyed.

    Craters pocked what had once been miles and miles of pristine prairie. The grasses were scorched and smoking; the small, hidden creeks were twisted lines of steaming toxicity; the animal burrows and warrens were crypts for smoldering pelts and ashen bones.

    “Cassie?” Tallulah cried out, the blood from her forehead blinding her as she stumbled through the nightmare that had been her home. “Cassie?”

    No reply. No movement. No Cassie.

    Tallulah slowed then paused. Was that a cry? Was that Cassie calling to her?

    She switched directions and moved on. Cassie was out there somewhere.

    Somewhere…
