The stories, thoughts, and ramblings of an ADD author.
As a self-published author, I can not tell you the number of times I have stared at my own novel and my brain drew a blank. I mean, you should know how your own story goes, right? You SHOULD know the plot, how the characters are going to react, and where you should go from… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Twirl
Another day, another time to wonder how they come up with these prompts. I know what a "blurb" is, but I am sitting here staring at it and getting nothing. I even took a break and came back. Nothing.

So, I will put those here. https://media.giphy.com/media/elhHndVfpU1621gcEJ/giphy.gif Unharmed Unharmed is the glass still… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Unharmed

It's a really versatile word. Hmmm, what can I do… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Perturbed

https://media.giphy.com/media/3oz8xTUmZABI3PGwDe/giphy.gif Welp, this is a thing. I know what an eel is, but... um... Prompt? I am staring at the word and my mind is not coming up with anything.

https://media.giphy.com/media/l41m6va6AUuzC9Sko/giphy.gif Yup, I know. I have not been around for two days. I was nursing back pain that kept me in bed most of the time. It was one of those pains that made it impossible to stand, sit, and even lie down in many positions. I am better now. I am moving better. So,… Continue reading Writing Prompt: One of Them
