You’ve had Nightmares Your Whole Life

The writer’s group carries on with much enthusiasm. We’ve got some really great stories coming out of the prompts that leave us wanting to know more. Hopefully the stories will be finished either at home or during the group by tying prompts together.  Here is one of my stories...

He Wasn’t Going to Give Up

The summer writer’s group sessions have begun and I couldn’t be happier. We’ve got some returning writer’s and some new ones. The creative energy is high and the writing enthusiasm is contagious. Here’s one of my pieces from this week: By Genevieve Clovis The air was heavy and moist....

Everything She Wore was White

Here’s what I came up with given twenty minutes and the prompt everything she wore was white. By Genevieve Clovis It wasn’t supposed to be like this, Ami thought as she looked disconsolately out of the window of her parked car. Rain thundered against the roof drowning out the...

A Beautiful Garden

Sometimes during the writer’s group you get a prompt and immediately know what you’re going to do with it. Everything clicks into place. You start writing without hesitation thinking to yourself I’ve got this. Other times, you get the prompt and all the words you’ve ever known drain from...

I haven’t posted a writer’s group piece in a while. Mostly that is because my writing is rusty at the moment, but I am starting to get back in the groove. One of the prompts from yesterday’s session was a brightly wrapped box. Here is what I did with...

Some Minor Renovations

As you may know I have spent the past two days doing some minor renovations in the shop. I’m so used to minor renovations quickly turning into major ones that I was prepared for the worst. Luckily this time around that was not the case, everything went according to...

A Chipped Cup

This story, from writer’s group a couple weeks back, was submitted by Clare. She claimed to be having an ‘off’ night, but I think she did very well. By Clare Why am I here anyway? I’m too tired for this writer’s group tonight. The music is clattering in my...
