Don’t compare yourselves

yours, which is bad. Or you’ll think your work/house/body/life/etc. is better

Hello everyone! Hope
all of you are doing well. I’ve been through a few extremes lately. Last week I
was on a beach and the weather was pushing eighty. I had nothing to do but
stuff my face and read a book. This week I’m at my desk playing catch-up and
looking out the window at a blanket of snow. It is eighteen degrees out right
now. I’m not kidding. Anyhow…
One of my pieces of
flash fiction was included in this quarters Jack Spratt. I struggled with this
one. I knew I wanted to submit, and the category sounded fun: Genre mashups
using a Crayola color in the title, with a twist at the end. Sounds simple,
right? No. Turns out I don’t do very well when there are any stipulations in
there. My brain froze for almost a month on this, but I eventually got it done.
For those interested, here is the link
Also, the second
chapter of The Newstead Project, uBook style is now out. Please feel free to
share however you’d like.
Due to reader
feedback, I’ve included a narrated version. Here is The Newstead Project,
chapter one, narrated by Nathan Moran.
Enjoy.
Congratulations! Short stories are fun, aren't they? And you are doing very well with them right now.
ReplyDeleteI love these! So cool.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to the beach in January. I can imagine the return to cold would be very jarring. The beaches we usually go to (Destin, Pensacola, etc.) get cold this time of year.
