NaNoWriMo is over, and this year was a tough one for me. So today is the “Thank Goodness It’s Over” celebration day! Also, I’ll be closing out the month with a lot more reflections and less flash fiction/random stuff as I try to weed through what works best for my blog. What kind of stuff […]
For a while, things felt manageable again for the woman. The strength gave her confidence and confidence meant she could do so much more without feeling quite as tired or frustrated. It meant she felt worthwhile, and that little bit made miracles happen. Unfortunately, those kinds of feelings never seemed to last long. NANO REPORT:WC: […]
Because of her new gift of strength, she was able to do a lot more things on her own. Not that anyone noticed or cared. Like usual, the good things she did all ended up being invisible. People only saw her when things were going badly, and it wasn’t fair in the slightest. Hash-tag Mom […]
The first power to be discovered was the gift of physical strength. While she would have much rather shot lightning from her hands or controlled a mighty force like the wind, this gift would do. There were too many things she had to take care of that involved that strength for her to see it […]
The first time she dared to use her new power, she was alone. She didn’t want to accidentally hurt her family after all. As much as they frustrated her, belittled her, walked all over her, she loved them greatly and would do anything for them. They would not see her gifts until she understood them […]
It started as a tingle in her gut. A weird feeling that spread across her stomach and toward her fingertips. She didn’t quite know what it meant. Nerves? Too much anger? …something else? She could sense so much power within her, and yet…she couldn’t do anything with it.
As the storm brewed inside of her, she wasn’t quite sure what to do about it. She could feel it deep in her soul. A power stirred. It felt…new, freeing. So much potential building and building and building, and if she didn’t do something about it, it would destroy her…and everyone else she loved in […]
A continuation of the random Tuesday Flash Fic: Before we can get to the storm, let’s paint another picture. The old life. She was naive, that is part of the problem. Once upon a time, she trusted far too easily, and believed the lie that everything was okay when in fact things were not okay. […]
She’s losing her mind because she’s slowly being forced to lose herself. Back when she was young and didn’t have as many responsibilities, she was unafraid to not fit into the boxes presented before her. As time went on, and life got harder, and she felt more and more out of place, she thought: Perhaps […]
She only has so many things she can do in a day. She only has so many feelings she can absorb as well. There are only so many times she can be interrupted and disrespected before she breaks. When the others around her wonder why she hurts and is broken, they will not see that […]
