We were waiting for the bus. Just the two of us. She was so familiar. I couldn’t stop staring. You know the way you do when you’re trying figure out if it’s someone from your past or someone you do know. But from where? She almost hopped from one foot to [...]
It’s like a force moving forward. Like a boulder that has been pushed down a hill and it’s picking up speed. She is spiralling out of control and no one can stop it. We are just witness to it.

It’s the first full week of summer here in New England, so to celebrate, take 450 words and write about sand. Whether it be beaches, backyards, or hourglasses, think sandy thoughts and come back on Friday to link up!

I sit in front of the blank computer screen as the cursor flashes taunting me. I am seized with self-doubt; my fingers are poised over the keyboard. Surely I must have something to write. My publisher gave me an advance. The newspapers are plastered worldwide with my name and headlines like: Jenny Singler’s new novel [...]
This is the story of three friends who aren’t friends anymore, plain and simple. But it’s never that plain or simple, is it? Stories take on a life of their own in your head after they’ve been in there for years. The sequence of events becomes blurred. I still dream of them to [...]
