How would you describe your art style?: Cute, colorful, and a little cartoony.

When did you start doing art? I began to seriously pursue the hobby around June of 2019.

Artist Interview: I Am Doot!

Artist Interview: I Am Doot!

Hey everyone! I wanted to give a shoutout to some of the fantastic artists I have had the good fortune to meeting over the years. Today I want to introduce you my incredible friend: I Am Doot! 

Name: I Am Doot

1. How would you describe your art style?  Honestly, I don’t have an exact style. I can do cartoony in one piece, and then semi-realistic in another. I’m fairly versatile when it comes…

Wings

I don’t really have a title for this one….it is based off the prompts of a few friends at the discord group The Lovely Grove.

Prompt: Basilisk, Bat, Blue, Orange and Pink

Arney stared out over the ocean, his claws clicking against the rocks at his feet as he sat and thought. The weather was starting to cool and soon he’d have to find a warm cave to hide in during the snows. He didn’t have…

Currently – September 2020

Inspired by Amanda McCormick, I decided it’s high time I did a little update on life, love, and writing.

2020 has been a challenging year for just about everyone I know, myself included, but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been some good along with the trials. So let’s jump into, shall we?

Loving: This is a hard one because it seems as if lately there’s so much negative and hardship going…

Secret Santa Story

My prompt (my choice of which to use):

Ghosts and Witches, Possession, An Unexpected Gift/Package, A Haunted Place, or Something Involving an Ouija Board

  THE STORY: 

  The windows glittered with fine webs of frost, the ground outside was snug under its fluffy white blanket and most creatures great and small snug in their homes. Marlaena should have followed suit and snuggled under a warm…

Back From Hiatus

I know it has been quite a while since I posted on here. I apologize for that. I recently completed my master’s program and unfortunately that took away quite a bit of time from my writing. The holiday season also stole away with some of my writing time. The results were a very minuscule amount of time left over for writing.

But, now that both of those thieves have passed, I once again have time…

Goals - Do You Have Them? I DO!

Goals – Do You Have Them? I DO!

I realized that it has been quite a while since I posted anything on here. I’m terribly sorry about that, life sometimes has a way of getting away from me.

So the latest challenge issued by the lovely Amanda is about goals. Goals for writing and for the blog, and dare I say even life.

I’m a strong believer in goals, they are what help keep us on track when life throws a few too many…

Blog Challenge #5: Truth and Death

Blog Challenge #5: Truth and Death

This round of the Blog Challenge has arrived.

Amanda has challenged us to write a story using three little words. No, not those three little words…. These three little words:

Honesty. Hatred. Bed.

After some percolating and consideration, here is what my brain popped out, I hope you enjoy:

STORY TIME:

Honesty tasted like ashes on her tongue as she stared at the broken bed. Hatred swirled deep in…

Prompt Night- Guardian

Came as a result of this prompt: STORY TIME: 

“Just… just be careful, D. If you wake the guardian be respectful. Here, take this staff, it was my grandfather’s… they liked him.”

Her voice trailed off as he looked at her with a bemused look. Fidgeting with her talisman, a dark orange and white stone with coiled copper holding it that hung around her neck, she sighed.

“I know. You don’t have to say…

BLOG CHALLENGE #4

The next round of Amanda’s blog challenge has been posted and it was to select a prompt from a collection of prompts.

I have to admit I had a bit of trouble with this one. I hope you all enjoy it and please leave me a note and tell me what you thought of it in the comments section.

Prompt:

“The captain of a pirate ship is separated from her crew of cargo thieves during a heist.…

Currently - June Edition

Currently – June Edition

I thought I’d do something a little different from my usual fare on here.

I’m borrowing this idea from Amanda, who spotted it over at Katyupperman’s blog. It’s a segment called Currently – basically, it lets folks know what you’re currently up to… and I thought that it might be a fun way to share what I’m up to with all of you lovely people!

Lately, I have been loving the wide range of…

Mad Momma - Prompt Night

Mad Momma – Prompt Night

This short bit came as a result of the following image:

Story Time:

The cavern walls echoed with her raspy yell. Her children scattered between her legs. She had been woken from her slumbers by the sound of her babies shrieking in terror. Fear and anger had propelled her from her roost to the room where her children were tucked safely in their webbing. What greeted her was the sight of some…

Death Secrets - Prompt Response

Death Secrets – Prompt Response

Another gem from Prompt Nights on Discord. I hope you enjoy this short little story based on the following prompt:

Story Time: 

“I need you to understand something before I kill you…”

His mouth barely an inch from my ear, his breath sweet and metallic from the blood he’d taken from me. I could feel my body growing heavy with the passing seconds. His arm around my waist was the only thing besides…

Shroom Planet - Prompt Night Response

Shroom Planet – Prompt Night Response

Prompt Nights on Discord are a wonderful way to get inspired to create new stories and new worlds. This story came as a result of the following image:

Story Time:

Alaric set his craft down as gently as possible on the foreign landscape. It was the tenth planet they had checked in nearly as many months. At this rate, his crew would be threatening mutiny if he didn’t give them shore leave soon. He…

Prompt Night: Steal Your Breath

Prompt Night: Steal Your Breath

Another night of prompts on the Discord server means another short story to share. This time it was based off this gem of a prompt:

STORY TIME                                    

He leaned over the pool of water, reveling in the inky darkness reflected back at him. It was nearly done. The better part of a decade of work and planning was about to come to fruition and the power was about to be…
