Flying faster and harder than had been known for her species before, the bird pushes through the sky. She dodges buildings and trees and airplanes as they seem to leap into her path. Still faster and faster she flies. Into the darkness. She knows that she can fly harder, so she does. And she's carrying… Continue reading It Does Not Rise the Same
Daily Prompt: Relocating Reflections
via Daily Prompt: Relocate What does it mean to relocate? We can relocate our lives. We can take new jobs and move to a new city, state, or country. We can move within our own city and feel as though we're relocating. I've recently moved from a townhome into an apartment in the city, and… Continue reading Daily Prompt: Relocating Reflections
The Open Mic
Ten feet away, an idol stands at a microphone in front of her. The idol announces that her turn is up in 3, and she isn't sure whether she's ready.

The End of NaNoWriMo 2015
During November, I embarked on the impossible task to attempt to write 50,000 words towards a novel in 30 days as part of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).
