I am happy to say that I did not come up with anymore NaNo ideas this past week, so I will still be working on Apollo and Daphne in November (as of right this moment, which may change). I’m trying to work different parts of the myths in, including the part about Daphne turning […]
So, remember last weekend when I said I had found my next NaNo Novel idea? I found two more this week. One is an idea I’ve been cultivating since my first NaNo back in 2005. The main character is a pretty quiet guy, so I ended up writing Lane’s Girl instead, just because I couldn’t
The other weekend when I was writing the Writing Prompt Challenge I had this really strange dream about travelling to other worlds (well, only one other world), which isn’t all that odd considering how big a fan I am of Stephen King’s Dark Tower Series. But it wasn’t in the vein of the Dark Tower
First, let me apologize for the size of today’s sticky. I scanned it with a bunch of other stickies and if I shrink it down any further it gets blurry and hard to read. That has never happened before – I think it’s the light blue. I might just have to stick with purple. Today’s
It’s another really long sticky for this weekend, in part to celebrate the 4th of July. And for the 4th, Daphne – of Ask Daphne fame – held a writing-prompt contest. The three prompts were: – I didn’t expect to actually go swimming… – As American as apple pie… – The heat from the grill made

Happy Father’s Day! I was looking through my stickies this week, planning on putting up something about a father (or maybe a few stickies about fathers) when I ran across this little gem. It’s technically not a sticky. It’s a page in one of my small writing folders, but it is the beginning of the
Today’s sticky is not actually from a story that I have written, but is a note I jotted down because I thought it was interesting. I subscribe to American Scientist’s Science In The News Weekly, and every week they send me an email full of interesting stories published during the week. This past week
To celebrate the 30th sticky on the SNS blog, I have chosen a star-shaped sticky just for today. I keep these little star stickies in my purse – they were a gift from a friend – and whenever I get an idea I jot it down on a star. I tend to also jot a
Today I was planning on putting up a sticky that I wrote in Key West last week – which is why I didn’t get a sticky up last weekend – but as it turns out Key West is much too relaxing to write anything, even stickies. Instead I bring you a sticky I wrote at work the week
