Flash Fiction Update

Posted on by

Happy Easter Weekend everybody. I’m about to head off to my friend’s 22nd birthday, so I will keep this quick.  I will probably be updating a lot in the week ahead.  I am staying in my hometown for a week to take care of the dogs while my parents are in Connecticut.  A lot of alone time means a lot of updating.  Also, I went through all my old poems and pulled out four that I will put up here soon (probably tomorrow or Monday).  Until then, enjoy the new flash fiction.

Dear Blue
While on vacation, I joined my friends at a coffee shop for several hours.  This piece of flash fiction came out of left field after my fourth cup of coffee.  It is one of my more unique pieces.  I don’t usually deal in personification, but I love this flash fiction nonetheless.

New Flash Fiction: Thirst

Thirst
In order to practice writing characters that do not remind me of me, I need practice writing situations that I do not normally encounter.  I Miss You, Dad was a way to practice the complex emotions of dealing with death.  Thirst is my attempt to enter the mind of an addict.  I hope to write several more flash fiction pieces like this soon.  I need the practice.

Up and Running

The website is now up and running.  I have sample chapters from my three novels.  I have three short stories.  There are six flash fiction pieces.  Unfortunately, I only have two poems up so far.  More will be uploaded soon.  I have links to my three other blogs.  There are also five columns that I had published in the local newspaper.  I also have links to my ghostwriting and a full list of the books that I have read.

As I upload more in the future, I will update the blog to share my progress on certain projects as well as link the newly uploaded work.  I wrote a flash fiction piece today that I hope to upload sometime within the next week.  I am also working on a couple fiction pieces and non-fiction pieces.  I need to decide which one to pursue in the days ahead.  I have a feeling that a dystopian story is something that I will pursue.

Thank you for all the support.  Let me know what you think.
