Happy November! Thoughts about Inktober and Blogtober… I don’t think I did as well as in former years, this year just didn’t allow the time and energy for anything more so I cheated a bit. I had to or else it wouldn’t have happened and I really wanted to get prepared for Nanowrimo, which startsContinueContinue reading “The End of Inktober and Blogtober”

Inktober 2023: 28-31 Sparkle, Massive, Rush, Fire
The Living Dead Massive hordes of them Stumbling about this desolate earth Mother Nature’s given up her children So far beyond their origins or worth Considered husks of their former selves This life is ever-fleeting Gone but not forgotten Searching for some meaning In phases – a sparkle of light It raises – a glimmerContinueContinue reading “Inktober 2023: 28-31 Sparkle, Massive, Rush, Fire”
Inktober 2023: 25 -27 Dangerous, Remove, Beast
Rude Awakening Leleu had a rude awakening, the light from the hanging lamp swung to and fro, stinging her eyes. Her throat was very sore and on top of that… she couldn’t move. She looked down at her hands and saw that they were tied to the chair at her sides and there was aContinueContinue reading “Inktober 2023: 25 -27 Dangerous, Remove, Beast”
Inktober 2023:22-24 Scratchy, Celestial, Shallow
All Hallow’s Eve Poem On hallowed ground where nothing grows a garden fit for old ghostly bones hands that scratch and scrape at their confinements once held respected in life with sure refinements Of shallow graves, hauntings, and wicked spells some are oft to heaven, others destined for hell Those souls who are salvageable meet withContinueContinue reading “Inktober 2023:22-24 Scratchy, Celestial, Shallow”
Inktober: 18-21 Saddle, Plump, Frost, Chains
Damned if I do, Damned if I don’t “Ain’t no rest for the wicked,” what a fitting opener but…isn’t that what they all say? Seems to ring true of many…myself included. Who needs a day or weekend to rest when there is so much to do? Folks in this age call it “demon time” andContinueContinue reading “Inktober: 18-21 Saddle, Plump, Frost, Chains”
All That Glitters Pt. 4
(Inktober: 16 & 17 – Angel, Demon) Travel Log Entry #10 A great trembling of the earth forced me awake on yet another moonlit night. She sits high in the sky always close enough to touch yet so far out of my reach…like the treasure. Every night she reminds me of just how small IContinueContinue reading “All That Glitters Pt. 4”
All That Glitters Pt. 3
(Inktober: 12-15 Spicey, Rise, Castle, Dagger) Travel Log Entry #7 It is midday and my thoughts drift to the awful way we came to acquire the map. We were resting and entertaining ourselves in a tavern of one of the colonies when I was coaxed into a game of cards. I noticed a seafarer, whoContinueContinue reading “All That Glitters Pt. 3”
All That Glitters Pt. 2
(Inktober 6-11: Golden, Drip, Toad, Bounce, Fortune, Wander) Travel Log Entry #1 What does it mean? “To Dodge death, one must become it”. It puzzles me to no end and sends chills through my core. I struggle to find meaning or make sense of such enigmatic words. My peace of mind seems to unravel withContinueContinue reading “All That Glitters Pt. 2”
Inktober: #3, #4, #5 – Path, Dodge, Map
All That Glitters: Part 1 The way is treacherous and the night yields little light. Yet… we forge on. Tales have been told of vicious beasts and maniacal creatures in the wilderwood, which no man dare journey through. We’ve either given in to lunacy or the blood coursing through our veins has spoken far aboveContinueContinue reading “Inktober: #3, #4, #5 – Path, Dodge, Map”
Inktober: #1 Dream, #2 Spider
Elaine loved and took pride in the work she did for those whose time had come. Every night at her loom she spun things of beauty for those coming out of the void of darkness that seemed to surround those without dreams. She created the most fascinating and wondrous dreams that eyes had ever seen.ContinueContinue reading “Inktober: #1 Dream, #2 Spider”
