About Pages Within Draft Pages In the quiet folds of unfinished thoughts, this space hums softly - a gathering of words that never learned to stay still. Here, poems bloom between pauses, prose drifts like smoke, and stories hide beneath the ink-stained corners of memory. Journals whisper what was almost said; scraps of paper remember what the heart tried to forget. Pages Within Draft Pages is not about perfection - it's about becoming. Every line is a pulse, every draft a fragment of a living thought. Read slowly. Something here might speak to the part of you that still writes in the dark.

This is a collection of quirky, tragic, serious, intimate, scary, and humorous flashfic all written with the goal of less-is-more! So take five minutes, relax and read a story, because the dishes can wait, the lawn isn't going anywhere, and if you're working from home, your boss will never know. Most of these stories were written in conjunction with the weekly prompt used in the Weekendwritein WP group. The story prompt is indicated in parenthesis with a hashtag. Additional flashfic outside of this collection is published on my WP profile. Cover photo: "Carrots" by Bob Shepard (Flickr) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/legalcode
