  • Can’t Get No…

    Satisfaction So yeah. Today’s word brings forth a song. I don’t have this problem. AJ’s working on editing my Therapy session in The Call of the Dragon. I don’t think it’s going anywhere close to what it was in the original. AJ read it and decided that it didn’t fit what happened. So all new…

  • Secrets

    I don’t suppose I have much left that’s locked in the cellar of AJ’s mind. Though I do surprise us both sometimes. The reason for the big rewrite of The Call of the Dragon comes because the front of the book was romance heavy and the bottom of the book was plot heavy, so AJ’s…

  • The Call of the DRagon

    AJ is setting a goal of finishing the rewrite by the end of February. I still want to have an AU but AJ is unsatisfied with the stories I’ve presented. They are all short and sweet and no conflict. WHY? must there always be conflict? Yeah, yeah I know. There there isn’t a story. So…

  • New Words

    So AJ doesn’t know what to post for today. And we don’t have a list of drabbles we could write yet, so instead we’ll share with you over the next couple of weeks the Prologue to the Call of the Dragon. Enjoy! A warm, westerly wind tossed Brandon’s dark locks. A hint of magic and…

  • Resolutions

    Yeah yeah, we all do them. And again AJ will do them. We will try to keep up daily blog postings Finish the rewrite of the Call of the Dragon (extended goal is to be publish ready by the end of the year) Create an author website AJ is happy with Begin a newsletter that…

  • Happy New Year

    All across the world and in nearly every civilization people will be celebrating the new year. Wishing the old a farewell, fond or otherwise and hoping the new one is better than the last one. We’ve had an interesting few years and one day after my story is written down for the late 2010’s I’d…

  • Almost Forgot

    AJ almost forgot to post today. It’s almost a sickness. But honestly, AJ started her support run, then started trying to make a dragonborn character with photo manipulation and then forgot all about my post. I mean come on! Who could forget me? Apparently, AJ can. All the fucking time. I am eager to get…

  • Cat’O’Nine Tails

    Today’s word bend doesn’t exactly fit any words we are going to talk about today. AJ has been watching Outlander. The male role lead, Jaime was strapped before she met her. Which pulled at some heart strings for me and my story and the brutality of what was done to me. But first the train…

  • MaGic Words

    There are just some words that invoke imagery so vivid you can’t think of anything else. The word thrust is one such word. I know the definition. And AJ uses it regularly, but my twelve-year-old boy mind goes to the immediate images of sex. The word itself means exactly what one would do with a…

  • Tissues

    I don’t suppose I’ve every said AJ is a sap. Not only does she sometimes make herself cry living in my world — her words or stories running in her head will put her in tears. She tortures herself with sappy shows and movies knowing fully well she’ll cry. We really should buy stock in…

  • Next Year

    So in January, AJ’s going to attempt to use The Daily Spur prompts to give us something to talk about. At least for January weekdays. The weekends will be something prewritten and we’ve not decided yet. AJ’s planning on finishing up the rewrite on The Call of the Dragon, and work on getting that through…

  • Merry Christmas

    Those Drabbles were kinda fun. AJ enjoyed writing them. We might pull them out a bit more often. We do need to keep a list of them. Perhaps well have another series of them. Though might need a topic. So if anyone has a specific or generic topic we’d love to hear from you. I…

  • Drabble Day 24

    It It was the first time I’d spent the night with Sage. We were eleven. Sage found his dad’s collection of VHS tapes and one labeled “It”. Curiously, as Sage always did, he popped it in and we watched the story unfold. I learned about monsters every day of my life. They didn’t scare me.…

  • Drabble Day 23

    beach The water was warm in the August sun. The sand was scorching under my feet. I swam into the ocean away from the world. A current took me under, it swept me out to sea. I kicked and screamed and swallowed the salty water. I am not a fish and the salt burned my…

  • Drabble Day 22

    cursed The scourge roamed the earth since time began and few hunters were courageous enough to find them and kill them. My name is Vladimir Bernstein, and I hunted vampires and other supernatural creatures. Until I hunted a rogue witch.  She didn’t appreciate it. When I had her cornered and about to make the slice…

  • Drabble Day 21

    Bully The blonde at the end of the hall hadn’t seen me yet. I slipped into the bathroom and breathed a sigh of relief, but it was interrupted when the door swung open and those dull blue eyes stared at me with a malicious grin. “You thought you’d get away?” There was no escaping it…

  • Drable Day 20

    Apple Pie My mom wasn’t always so bad. I have one memory just before my spark. We were baking. Mom would measure out the ingredients. I poured them carefully into the bowl and stirred everything together.  Mom would roll out the dough and cut it into place while I bounced on the other side of…

  • Drabble Day 19

    T.O.N.Y. A fountain gurgled happily nearby as I stomped through the moonlit courtyard. A young boy with dusty brown hair swung a stick on the edge of the fountain. He slipped. I caught him before he splashed into the water below. His smile was bright. Even I had no choice but to return it. He…

  • Drabble Day 18

    The Hunger Freedom after 50 years. The first 25 I learned control. The second… the hunger grew. I walked through a village near my former home. The pulse of the villagers, the only sound I heard. The night blurred in a mixture of blood and hunger, torn out throats, and screams echoing on the dead…

  • Drabble Day 17

    Greatest Challenge Dreams are full of possibilities, but when a soul can manipulate them, there is a danger inherent in it. Death in a dream with a dream walker is real — forever real. And the law mandates death for any dreamwalker found. Tracking a dreamwalker was my greatest challenge, and today I found him.…

  • Drabble Day 16

    Choosing Death Being torn to pieces by a bear isn’t the worse way to die. I’d have preferred it. Lying in a hospital bed with your shit son by your bedside is worse. It was his fault we were in that den in the first place. I never would have led if he wasn’t a…
