  • Do our writers owe us a happy ending?

    The past few years brought the rise of trilogies and long series; with that came a new level of fandom that I never expected for readers and writers alike. Since these writers (example JK Rowling, Charlaine Harris and George R.R. Martin) are part of this social media / instant gratification age they’ve succumbed to all…

  • What I ate today: Smoothie

  • Cheers to wellness!

    I’m finally feeling back to myself. I had a round of antibiotics and lots and lots of lozenges to get my through my throat infection. I’m no worse off for it; except I noticed my voice is more husky than before. I’ve made peace with having a more masculine voice so I won’t belabor the…

  • Slight Pepper Please

    Prompt: http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/ring-of-fire/ As a Caribbean girl; spicy food is a way of life. It’s so common that I sometimes forget that it’s not “home food” for the entire populous of the U.S. With that said; I have Public Service Announcement. Spicy =/= Seasoned Since seasonings don’t end with a salt and pepper shaker in my household,…

  • 100 Word Stories – #3

    It always starts with the tentative reach of fingers, two notches below chilly; one hand smoothing over my side as I’m enveloped by his core warmth. Our heartbeats sync and the magnetic draw of our bodies seal us from shoulders to the curves of my body to finally the creep of his cold feet wrapped…

  • Sadderday

    http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/saturday-night/ work throughout the weekends so Saturdays for me a weeknight as opposed to really feeling like the weekend. Unfortunately my friends with real careers and non-retail generally have the weekends off. (Who am I kidding, I don’t have friends) The issue is that most cool events, shows, kick-backs and most fun things happen generally…
