Another one of my many quirks....

About a month ago, I posted a Battlestar Galactica fan video that I made.......
I have another one! :D This show has been over for close to three years now, but I discovered it last summer and still continue to be a fan of these two characters. I bring this to your attention because this show inspired me to become a better writer and to look at things from a different perspective. The show itself is brillant and the writing is gorgeous!
Thoughts and comments are always welcome! :)

Five Sentence Fiction - Yearning

What it’s all about: Five Sentence Fiction is about packing a powerful punch in a tiny fist. Each week I will post a one word inspiration, then anyone wishing to participate will write a five sentence story based on the prompt word. The word does not have to appear in your five sentences, just use it for direction.


This week: YEARNING

The midnight air filled the vacant streets with silence – a word that had become a part of her. She stumbled through the gloomy pathways and found herself gazing up at a map of constellations. With one finger pointing up, she traced the miniature stars – imagining them as her lover’s face. The brighter stars were her lover’s eyes; a stare that she longed to see. She reached her fatigued arms higher into the speckled sky and whispered “I am with you.”

A Letter

The Write on Wednesday Spark: Dear...This week's writing exercise is to write a letter. Write an open letter or write to someone more specific. Write a letter between two fictional characters or write a letter into a fictional piece you are already working on. Think  about how differently you write depending upon who you are writing to. Your content in an open letter may differ to content in a private letter.

I am working on a sci-fi related story, so I struggled a bit with this prompt. But I tied it in with the story and came out with something unique. :)


My confusion led me to write an imaginary letter to the woman with no name. I had a vast amount of unusual questions. Minerals of compounds that formed within my brain needed a solution to this cryptic problem. I began my letter with questions, difficulties in learning things as to what it was I was supposed to see. 

You are different, unique, and angelic. I seem to bask in your glow as you promenade through the marshlands. My anger subsides when you are near, but my confusion remains with me. I want to know things - to understand who you are. You speak with silence and though I can not hear your words aloud, I feel them when your eyes dance across me. Curiosity must take you to a place that you have never been. Ask me things, for I will tell you what you want to discover.
 I too am curious. I am sealed into a womb of darkness and left without any answers. What is this place that we are building? I cannot help but wonder how I lived through the treacherous war and begin to create a new life with just silence. Where are we?

Everything that I asked within my head stirred up a mix of emotions. I began to cry and bury my head in the sands. The nightlife began to fall upon me and nothing but the waves of the ocean were heard.

Nature's Treasure

The Write on Wednesday Spark:  Possessing Beauty
Write about a collection. Write about something you or ,someone you know, collects. Think about the "why" behind the collection - why is it important to collect this particular thing? How does it make the person feel to add another piece to their collection? Is the group of objects there to be seen, to be studied or simply kept together? Write a real life story or a piece of fiction. Wherever the prompt takes you...Keep your post on the short side: up to 500 words OR a 5 minute stream of consciousness exercise. Link your finished piece to the list and begin popping by the other links. Oh, and enjoy!


The ginkgo trees were swaying profusely as the wind gusted to a more heavier tone. I couldn’t catch my breath. It was as if the wind was holding me in its arms and flying me to a fresh, untouched place. Suddenly, the elegant woman with no name appeared before me. Her elongated, flowing brown locks danced with the wind. She did not notice my fragile state of fear. Her eyes fixated on the fan like leaves as they meshed onto the ground. She delicately picked each leaf up, treating them as if they were a newborn baby.

There was a box that had been settled in the ground for quite some time. I had stumbled upon it when I was rummaging around to find nourishment. It was locked and frozen beneath the sands of time.
After the serene creature finished picking up natures offspring, she opened the box without hesitation.

The leafs were placed carefully within the entrapment. Her glowing face started to shift as she continued to run her fingers through each particle of the green plant. I could sense a bit of nostalgia from this woman. She had a longing desire of something that was unknown.
She quickly finished with the last leaf and buried the box of natures treasures. Within seconds, she vanished into thin air.

My mind raced with curiosity and then I began to appreciate the concept of this woman’s desire to rescue the leaf. Nature was delicate, a flowing piece of lace billowing in the wind; and it needed to be saved.

Movie Plug - Another Earth

I recently came across this movie by accident while standing in line at the RedBox searching for another movie. I was intriqued not only by the title, but by the actress because I had never heard of her. I went home and watched it and was floored with the way that it was written. At first, I thought it was going to be another "end of the world" type story, but this is a story about a young woman who makes a mistake and is given another chance to "apologize." In the midst of it all, another earth has been found and there are other people living on this new earth -- which has another "you."

What captivated me the most was that Brit Marling who plays the character Rhoda, wrote this film herself. The writing within this movie has its own beauty and deserves to be shown off a bit. ;)
Here is the trailer for the film. Go check it out! :)

This week: SHIVER

I was lying in a pool of murky water that was once pure and delicate. Dirt and blood escaped from my body and continued to fill the beach with death. The bullet wound I had was no longer throbbing inside of my bones. It was now a numbing sensation, a shudder that filled every vein in my declining figure. I was cool to the touch, but my insides were sweltering.
