Writing Adventures

A couple of weeks ago, I was sitting near a fountain at a mall and this inspired an idea for some fictional writing. Hope you enjoy =) ~~~ "Mommy, can I make a wish?" The middle child, Lisa, had tugged on her mom's sleeve while pointing to the upcoming fountain in a shopping mall. "Sure thing, dear," she replied before taking out her purse to get to her coin pouch. Charles, the youngest of the three siblings, left his mom and other siblings behind, and ran to the edge of the fountain to get a closer look at it. This caused the oldest child, Olivia, to run after her little brother as their mom was preoccupied for that brief second. "Thank you, Mommy!" Lisa received not one, but two coins and she made a huge grin as she skipped towards the fountain. Their mom sat nearby on one of the ledges looking at the fountain while keeping a good watch on her children. As soon as Charles saw her older sister with her two coins, he ran to his mom and plea...

"Huh?" I said out loud dumbfounded at the realization that the restaurant was on the other side of the street from me currently. I presumed when looking up the address that it was on the east side of the street, not the west side. Oh, how wrong I was on that assumption. I heaved a sigh as I looked left and right before jogging across to the door of the restaurant in a hurry. Two minutes earlier as I was walking to the restaurant, I sent a text message which said, "I'm on my way. Be there soon." Merely seconds after I had sent it, I received a response. "Don't worry, I just arrived." After reading what she had wrote, I took a breath with a small smile. Today was a day that I was looking forward to in a long time. I had planned a day to have lunch with a good friend that I haven't seen in a long time because I came back home after my contract finished from a faraway town, and she was busy with work. The fear of asking to set up a lunch get ...

I'm satisfied with how A Love Too Late ended, and the overall story in general but when I was deciding whether to go for a happy ending or not for Jackie, I was stuck for a while. Then I wrote the current ending and thought it was fine the way it was. Looking at it from another perspective, it is a happy ending (for Joyce). It was also a little bit therapeutic since some of my experiences was used as inspiration for the story. It was some sort of a closure. Then a friend told me, "why not write an alternative ending", and I thought "why not?" Then I decided to write it on my blog to see whether what other people would think of it and compared to the canon ending. =) Hope you enjoy. In case you didn't know, this is under the assumption that you read the original short story and so spoilers are expected. ~~~ ### (Copy and pasted the last paragraph of one of the section to place it in the correct timeline) We bickered amongst each other as we got to th...

Hi, I haven't gotten any new inspiration or interesting ideas in a while to write in the flash fiction genre so I apologize for that. I came across a picture on Google+ on one of the communities (Writers' Corner) as a writing prompt to get the writing juices going. I'm going to give it a try to get me out of this rut. I have been working on my short stories and longer WIPs, so I haven't been slacking on writing in general... Hope you enjoy =) ~~~ "Are you sure we took the correct turn earlier at the fork a while ago?" Jesse asked as he glanced at the foggy sky and unfamiliar surroundings. He checked his smartphone if he had any signal, and to no avail, it was zero bars. After a moment of silence, Jesse put his hand on his friend's shoulder to stop him. "Hold up. Why are you being so quiet?" Alex took his eyes off of his hand drawn map to look up at Jesse. He replied, "yeah, everything is fine. I know where we are going." ...

I had this idea from something that happened which probably isn't related to what really happened... But anyway, this short short story is an inspiration from this randomly occurred event. Hope you enjoy! =) ~~~ 4:30 PM. Just thirty more minutes until the end of another work day, and I get to go home to relax for the evening. No troubles today fortunately. When a minute passed by, a co-worker, Glenn, noticed something that was in the corner of the office. He said as he stood up to walk over to the corner, "You guys have to take a look at this!" David stopped typing at his work computer, and turned around in his office chair at Glenn. "What is it?" "It's so cool and amazing, yet interesting at the same time." Glenn continued on still being mysterious. Then Nick turned around at his desk, and both him and David made their way to Glenn with raised eyebrows. "This better be good," Nick said as they were walking over there. When ...

Sneakily, and quietly, Jason popped his head between the two of us, both of his arms were around the both of us. “Boo! How's the dish washing going?” Yikes! I literally jumped up a bit at the unexpected scare. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Lily lose her composure for a second too. “Whoa! Did that really scare the both of you?” Jason looked at the two of us with wide eyes. “Geez, leave us alone. Stop baiting us after finishing your chore.” Lily glared at him. “I was going to tell Ken to meet me in the backyard afterward. Sounds cool?” He looked at me after glancing at Lily initially. “Sure,” I said, nodding. After Jason left us alone, Lily chuckled quietly. “What's so funny?” I asked, confused. “You and Jason are total opposites from one another, however you two are best friends.” “I know, right? Unbelievable. But I trust him the most.” “That's good.” Then Lily paused for a second. He never tells me anything, but I always wonder how you tw...

I had a dream just now... It was kind of scary in a way depending on how you view it. Hope you enjoy =). Also as a note, I did not abandon my mini-series writing project about Ken and Lily. It's just thinking of ideas and where to go and how to keep it interesting... Sorry about that... It's not so frequent as I had hope, but quality over quantity is what I think is important. And also thinking on other stuff too. ~~~ I'm tired. Sigh. I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my face with my hands after trying to pull out my hair. All over my desk had random pieces of paper everywhere with scribbles, food, empty pop cans, and opened books to pages I hope to read. I glanced at my clock on the bedside cabinet. 3:00 AM. Another late night. A hot bath may clear my mind and rejuvenate my body to keep on going just a little longer. When the bath was filled with warm water, I threw my clothes in a hurry to the washroom floor and slid in with my eyes closed. At first touch it ...
