  • A Return to an Old World

    AJ read the Glitter short from several years ago and got to feeling. I really like this guy. So AJ spent some time hunting for the original documents for the story. She found the original markdown docs, the converted to word, and then imported them into Dabble only to realize she was on the wrong…

  • Prologue

    So we don’t have an exercise today. Mostly cause AJ’s not feeling it today.  But we also have finished the Prologue to the WIP for me and my new world. We aren’t going to share it here yet. But we can offer it to those who might like to read it. Make a comment or shoot me…

  • Happy Birthday To me

    So today is my birthday! In 2021 I will be 29…. I’m almost 30… holy fuck I’m getting old. AJ doesn’t have any story to share with you. But she did make me a play list with songs that mean something to me. And it’s an open collaboration. If you have a spotify account you…

  • Walking on Sunshine

    The first thing that came to mind when I saw the prompt today was the You Tube video of Alec Lightwood Salt. And you all know I love a good Alec video. So here is the video without anymore comments:

  • Genetic Disposition

    There is something to say about genetic disposition. My mother is human, my father is Venatori. I am thereby called Minorem — Lesser than Venatori. But my mother is also wiccan — part of a coven whose genetic lines produce various different outcomes. Mother’s line is called Gemini — every birth is twin, born on…

  • Not the Center!

    Today you are getting a very late post because I am not the center of AJ’s world today *pouts* This morning she played Mass Effect 2 and forgot all about my post! But she did manage to edit a few paragraphs of TELLING into better showing, there might still be a sentence of two of…

  • deprivation

    This is an interesting sensation — sense deprivation ie: submerging yourself in a vat of water. Doesn’t have to be for any other reason other than to calm down. AJ does this on migraine days. Fills the tub with water and submerges her head. It’s not complete sense as you can still touch and smell.…

  • Plot

    AJ is working on the story architecture. The Call of the Dragon was romance top heavy, and plot bottom heavy. So AJ’s reworked it to be more intermixed. Alex leaves the day before I solve the case. AJ’s moved a lot of stuff around, cut out a few grocery shopping trips and completey removed my…

  • Panic at the Disco

    Another day I offer up some music. I could make you suffer with Disco music from the 70s instead you get a Queen song by Panic at the Disco!

  • No action today

    There could be. AJ’s actually sitting at her desk. But the word today is action. So we are going to take none for today’s blog. Enjoy some music.

  • Mining for Stories

    AJ’s thinking about giving us a story a month here. Maybe post a scene a week. The problem is AJ has to think up real stories to get me into. We are excavating all our resources. (I know the words make it hard sometimes for true real words lol) But anyway I digress. AJ’s looking…

  • Always a Programmer

    AJ is editing The Call of the Dragon! We are adding in a third person PoV Prologue about the bad guys (and me of course, but from their motive). This is to showcase the bad guys, maybe their motive, but to show that the story is bigger than just me. And as AJ is editing,…

  • AJ’s new Desk

    AJ got a new laptop. The fan is noisy in order to keep the laptop cool. It has this high pitched whine that I typically associate with a hard disk but it’s the fan. She also has her desk set up. You can’t see AJ’s dragon collection from there. These are only the newer ones,…

  • Influencer

    That’s such a strange thing to me. That complete random strangers from around the world are known to influence things because of a social networking platform. You Tubers with millions of followers who basically become social gods. And this month is Pride month, so there are a lot of LGBTQ+ influencers out there. I can’t…

  • Three posts today?

    So there will be three posts today. So my word is hold and that’s what I’ll do with today’s prompt. Just keep on holding it. You’ll be June prompts and the end of My Devastated heart later this morning. Besides AJ is in pain and is debating pain killers right now.

  • Check it Out

    I’m not grumpy today! I’m not usually but that’s today’s word. BUT AJ has gotten the new wiki story bible up and looking pretty. Check it out! https://wiki.aj-hunter.com It’s pretty cool. We really like the design. The pages are coming together. I think AJ has to go through the dropbox to fill in what’s left…

  • License

    License to Kill? To sleep? Ugh… I don’t have anything today. AJ’s working stuff not much else to say. Hope you are enjoying My Devastated Heart.
