December 2021 Self-Love Sunday

Dearest Readers, Did I miss two consecutive months of Self-Love Sundays? Yes. Did I start posts each month and abandon them? Also yes. In all honesty, I have been finding it very difficult to come up with anything kind to say to myself the last few months. My inner critical voice has been difficult to …

Writing to oneself a love note in May

Dearest Readers, How have you been? How has the month of May been treating you? I am squeaking this Self-Love Sunday note to myself in right under the wire. Why? You may ask. Did I not find myself being as kind to myself as I *cough *cough usually am? (Insert eye roll here.) May has …

Character Prompt (Writing Prompt Wednesday from Jericho Writers)

Dear Readers, I hope this post finds you well. I am sitting here staring at the above photo and not feeling prompted. The oddest part about the situation I find myself in, which I don't really care to admit, is that I am hung up on the outfit the woman wears. (Insert palm face emoji …

The first time it happened, I was… (Writing Prompt Wednesday inspired by Jericho Writers)

Hello Literary Lovelies, I am continuing on with the writing prompt I received in an email from Jericho Writers.

Stuff your own stocking – A holiday themed Book Shop Meet Cute

"Pardon?" I huffed. Instantly fogging up my glasses, which was only a further reminder that it meant my mask didn't fit correctly. I was only supposed to have been in the store for twenty minutes. Twenty. My anxiety had allotted only so much time. My depression having wanted more was reminded that we were in …

November Self-Love Sunday

Dearest Readers,  How have you been? Are you like me and counting down the rest of 2020 feeling as though when we hit the new year that somehow the horrors of this past year will transform us back into the pumpkins we once were?  It must be the fairy tale lover in me to entertain …

September Self-Love Sunday

What happened to August dearest Readers? Better yet, what happened to September?  I feel as though this year has both crept by silently stalking us and managed to speed past as well. It reminds me of those horror movies where the victim is running and the villain is slowly stalking them. No matter how fast …

Writing Prompt Wednesday – Flash Fiction Challenge

Do you want to meet? I couldn't stop myself before typing my reply: Did you seriously just ask that question? You're being absurd. Absolutely absurd. I watched the three-dot text bubble appear on the screen before disappearing. Waiting for the response. Absolutely absurd had been a bit much even for me. But at least I …
