Visual Dare - Waiting

In this week's response to the Visual Dare flash fiction challenge from Angela at Anonymous Legacy, waiting, Mirela meets a friend of Miranda's. I wonder where this will lead? I wonder, too, who was waiting in everyone else's stories. I'll be sure to check out the links at Anonymous Legacy, and I hope you will, too. You'll also be able to find out where Angela found this photo. Friends and Food Miranda gripped Mirela’s hand... Read more →

Visual Dare - Whorl

Another week, another Visual Dare challenge from Angela at Anonymous Legacy. This week, she associated the word whorl with the photo below. I hope you like this continuation of Mirela's, and now Miranda's, story. Other episodes can be found here. As always, hop on over to Anonymous Legacy to see how others wrote about whorl, and to find out where Angela found this photo. Finding Comfort It took some effort to convince Vaca to lie...

Visual Dare - Whimsy

It was a relief to take a short break from some work training today to write a short scene for this week's Visual Dare challenge posted by Angela at Anonymous Legacy - the photo below and whimsy. I thought it would be fun to continue the story of Mirela and Vaca - and now their new friend. You can read the first three parts of their story here, here, and here. As always, visit Anonymous...

Visual Dare - Alone?

I can't keep up anymore! Between writing for both Lillie's Five Sentence Fiction and Angela's Visual Dare challenges every week, I can't keep track of what scenes I've written for whom and how they might or might not relate. I like the idea of keeping a running story going between prompts, but today, it's just too much to handle. And so, an independent scene for this week's Visual Dare prompt, Alone? I started writing a... Read more →

Visual Dare - Listening

A number of us who write regularly in response to the Visual Dare prompts Angela at Anonymous Legacy posts weekly have somehow taken it upon ourselves to try to link our scenes from week to week. Unfortunately, this week’s prompt did not inspire me to continue my story of the past couple of weeks about the unnamed girl who finds a mysterious hidden staircase (links at the bottom of this post). Instead, I was reminded... Read more →

Visual Dare - Secret

Angela at Anonymous Legacy suggested that this week's Visual Dare prompt was a natural follow-up to last week's, so I decided to go with that and am continuing my story. If you haven't read last week's, please do so you can see where my nameless heroine started. (I tell you, trying to tell a story 150 words at a time is really hard.) Be sure to go to Angela's blog, too, and follow the linkies... Read more →

Visual Dare - Emerging

Angela at Anonymous Legacy seems to have an amazing ability to find very bizarre photos to use as prompts for her weekly Visual Dare flash fiction challenges. She coupled this week's photo with the word "emerging." Here's what I did with it. Don't forget to head to her blog to see how other people interpreted the prompts. The Library “What the hell?” I was kneeling on a rough stone floor. My palms were bleeding through... Read more →

Visual Dare - Obscure

I took time off from Angela's Visual Dare challenges while we were in Hawaii this past two weeks, and I have to admit that I missed writing these bits of flash fiction. This week's challenge was obscure and the following photo. I hope you'll head over to Anonymous Legacy to see how others rose to this challenge. Hiding She hid in the shadows hoping intense stillness would keep them from seeing her despite the sheerness... Read more →

VisDare 2 - Resolute

I was not able to do justice to the fabulous photo Angela at Anonymous Legacy posted for this week's Visual Dare flash fiction challenge, but here you go. I hope you'll join me in following the links on Angela's blog post to see what others had to say. His Own Beat “I’ll tell you what, my friend, I may have to go the same direction as everyone else, but I’m going to get there in... Read more →

Visual Dare - Between

Yay! Angela over at Anonymous Legacy is not only continuing her Visual Dares into the new year, but she'd allowing us to write 150 words instead of just 100 to meet the weekly challenge. This week's prompt was "between" and the wonderful photo below. Links to more stories are available on her website. photo source In Training “Darn! That wasn’t supposed to happen,” Max muttered as he drifted down between two brick apartment buildings. Turning... Read more →
