  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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.

  • Day Off

    AJ is waiting on the cable guy today so she elected to have the day off and now has a four day weekend. She’s been working on the mock up of the Story Bible website. We kinda like it. The words mean nothing, just generated crap.
