Ompwriter Stories

Nothing creates a sense of space like a blanket of snow. Written for the weekend prompt, space.

A collection of tales I wrote to meet the challenges of the Weekend write-in Prompts on Amazon's writing platform, (the soon to close) WriteOn for Kindle. At around 500 words each, they are quick little reads to fill in a dull moment.

The Weekend Write-In just keeps going ... .

A collection of short stories, each one written in November 2016. The stories cover all genres and many worlds of the imagination.

Another collection of short pieces, random thoughts and things that occurred to me in the middle of the night.

Written for the WriteOnWriters Weekend Write-In Challenge for 1 Feb 2019. 500 words, one weekend, and a story prompt -- this week's prompt was "arrive", tell what happens when it arrives. Chloe felt something was missing from her life, so she ordered it online.

A collection of short stories inspired initially by a wide array of prompts from various places. Sometimes it's one word; maybe a phrase or a saying; sometimes a particular photo setting the creative wheels in motion. I love the development from that first small glow of imagination, the germ of a story that begins to grow, and then the nurturing and careful pruning, until finally it blossoms. Let's see if you agree I've achieved this.

More short stories and flash fiction, exploring random themes and random moments.
