Daily Prompt: Non-Sequitur
This Daily Prompt was a tough one. The prompt is to use this sentence in the final paragraph of a post: “He tried to hit me with a forklift!” You can see the Prompt and the other responses here.

Mama’s Sauce- Weekly Writing Challenge: Backward
I parked the car and opened the driver’s side door. The pot next to me on the passenger seat was still hot as I grabbed it and hoisted it over the steering wheel, careful not to spill its contents. Since my hands were full with the pot, I used my foot to kick the door Continue reading

Rejected but Okay
I previously shared that Angela and I teamed up and co-wrote and submitted a screenplay to a screenplay writing competition associated with a major film festival. Well, today we got our rejection letter.

Tonight I’m wishing I was better. I’ve been in a rut the past few weeks and I can’t exactly figure out why. But I do know this. I wish I was better. At everything. I wish I could be a better mother. I wish I was a better employee. I wish I could be a Continue reading

A Writing Prompt for You . . .
