Adventures aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 28

“Whatever he’s doing it seems thought out.” Aurora told me with a shrug. I had no idea what she was talking about but I followed her gaze. A small part of Vines was doing something to a panel with some tools. H squared came wandering past. The rest of Vines was covering him down toContinue reading “Adventures aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 28”

A few reasons I said no/yes…

I couldn’t remember from which poem the starting line was inspired from but I took a line invented by Laurie Wagner instead of from the poem.  A few reasons I said no: I don’t want it, I’m mostly past the stage of yielding to common courtesy I have my doubts and my interest is notContinue reading “A few reasons I said no/yes…”

The moment she crossed the threshold

The line is not from Wild Writing actually but taken from the novel Northern Star Guide me Home by Jo Spurrier. I like the line a fair bit, in that I can take it in so many directions, such that I reused it for free writing for my female protagonist of my work-in-progress. Anyway, enjoy. Continue reading “The moment she crossed the threshold”

Good days of writing… bad days of writing…

This is just my own prompt inspired by a Wild Writing piece I did off “good news… bad news…”  Good days of writing: you know what happens in the scene and you just know how to write it. Everything flows seamlessly onto the page.  Bad days of writing: you try to write it but there’sContinue reading “Good days of writing… bad days of writing…”

I am a 38-year-old girl

This is my own prompt and I wrote this piece two years ago so I’m actually 40 now. But nothing has changed much.  I am a 38-year-old girl. It’s strange but I never considered myself a woman. I mean, I am quite mature mentally but somehow the label didn’t feel right. I think of myselfContinue reading “I am a 38-year-old girl”

Adventure Aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 26

Estella whispered to me, “We need to slow him down, it’s still early, they’re probably still at his office.” I hurried to catch up with Scorsby. “Hey, we still haven’t talked about the jobs you wanted us to take off you.” “Let’s have one last drink while you tell us for the road, whatever yourContinue reading “Adventure Aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 26”

Adventure Aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 25

I sat down next to the Old Boy inside the booth. Estella sat down next to me and started playing with her ring.  The bartender swung by a moment later, setting a beer in front of Scorsby. She then looked questioningly at us.  “Scotch whiskey,” I ordered.  “I’ll have a pina colada, extra ice.” EstellaContinue reading “Adventure Aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 25”

Joy is not a trick

The line is from Instructions for Traveling West by Joy Sullivan.  Joy is not a trick. It might not last but nothing lasts. Not truly.  Joy is not a trick. It’s a signal, telling you something is right. Life is good if you are still enjoying something.  Joy is not a trick. Or maybe itContinue reading “Joy is not a trick”
