The stories, thoughts, and ramblings of an ADD author.
In order to combat my writer's block due to fighting my mopes, I have decided to give writing prompts another shot. So, I opened my email, and Writer's Write had this eclectic mix of words with which to start a novel. Louise and Edward were looking at the penguins in the exhibit while Toby tapped… Continue reading Writing Prompt Challenge: Start a novel
It's not often that I have to stop myself and wonder if what I am about to put in a story is too much exposition. I know every story has it, but when is it too much at once or too much at all? It's a continuing problem for me. Here's the thing... Morgan the… Continue reading Too much exposition?
So, there is a new writing prompt that piqued my interest. I have always had a problem with loving myself. I have never really fully embraced looking at myself and loving every aspect of what was staring back at me. I have felt ugly, fat, and like an outcast. It's never really been at the… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Love Letter to Me?
I am really trying to get into writing prompts and exercise my chops on a daily basis. I tried once, but then stopped, which is usually par for the course for yours truly. So, what can I develop using the prompt to the left? Let's see what I can come up with, shall we? It… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Scene in a Shop
Yup, this is the snippet that wanted to be a story, that I tried turning into a story, and now I have started this story three different times in three different ways, and none of them are resonating with me. I go back, read them, and wonder where to go from there. We have all… Continue reading Morgan the Cursed… Story?

If you wish to visit the site, click the following link:https://terror.ca/game/writing-prompts On that page, there is a button you press that randomizes four aspects to create the prompt. It's imaginative and different. Most of the prompts I run into are in graphical… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Fun with a gangster?
Ah, tunnels... Love them or hate them, they are everywhere. From everyday travel to near-death experiences, tunnels will forever be a part of our lives. Gephyrophobia is the term for an irrational fear of tunnels. Yeah, I had to look that one up. The burning question is, "How am I going to tackle this one?"… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Tunnel Exit
This prompt is interesting. Why you ask? It can provoke many different short snippets from the mundane to the suspenseful. I will admit the first time I read it, I pictured a small child constantly asking for a toy in a store until the parent got exasperated and bought it just to get the child… Continue reading Writing Prompt: What I want…
So, this is an interesting one. I know what the term means, but I didn't expect it. Still, it can be pretty fun to see what happens when I start writing. I lot of these prompts are 'stream of consciousness" exercises anyway. Writing prompt: They called him "The Creeper". "He's staring at me again. I… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Creeper
I am back with the writing prompts. I am trying to get back into the swing of things. The chemo and ADHD have teamed up and decided to make me either repeat words or skip more than usual in a sentence. We will see how this goes. I will do my best to proofread. Prompt:… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Strange Life
