I’ve been under the weather a bit lately, so what little writing I’ve managed to do has gone on my book (shocker, the dude that started a mostly writing blog is writing a book – yeah, for the last five frickin’ years) because frankly, that takes priority over this blog (as much as I love you […]

Where’s The Story?
Well, for a variety of reasons, it just ain’t done yet. But I figure, hey, I got the restrictions a day late, so I can post the story a day late. I don’t think anyone could really fault me for that. So I promise the story will be up tomorrow, along with this week’s new […]

Is it just me or have the restrictions each week generally complemented each other quite well? Maybe it’s evidence that there is a secret psychic network that all people are connected to. Or maybe they’ll always complement each other because there’s a finite limit to the human imagination that means things will always connect on […]

Writing The Window Cleaner
First off, if you haven’t read The Window Cleaner, go now and do that. I’ll wait. As I said in the intro to The Window Cleaner, the story wrote itself. What I mean by that is a bit complicated, but I’ll try to explain. As a side note, I was also going to drone on about […]
What’s this? The new challenge story? On a Thursday? Yeah, how about that, huh? Well, I actually managed to not leave writing the story until the last minute this time (yay me). Plus it practically wrote itself, but I’ve a few things I want to say about writing it so I’m going to explain what I […]

Another day, another comment to regret later? After last week, I ain’t sayin’ nuthin’. Title: The Window Cleaner Genre: Romance Dialogue: “So you just let them get away with it? One rule for them and another for everyone else? Give me a break.” Technical: Every sentence has to have a number in it. Although I […]
I’ve had a very busy week, and when I haven’t been busy, I’ve been preoccupied, so I’ve not had a whole lot of time for this week’s story. So when you read this week’s story, you might think it’s a cop out, but I prefer to think of it as a liberal interpretation of the […]

It’s Monday (possibly, depending when you’re reading this I guess) so that means a new round of the WFFC! Let’s see what’s in store today… Title: We have ways… Genre: Adventure Dialogue: “Stop! Where do you think you’re going with my doll?” Technical: The story must be written from the point of view of a […]
So this was a tricky one, considering the restrictions given, and it ended up being quite short. I’m not really sure how I feel about it. Build, Goddammit! Build! The first thing he will do is take you into a long, grey corridor lined with doors along each side, and lead you to the first […]
