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: EXPLOSIVE
We had been running all evening, getting tangled in weeds, and fighting the mosquitoes that seemed to latch on to our skin. Nothing could slow us down, for we knew that the bombs that lay dormant underground were surrounding us. The deafening sound of explosions were everywhere and my heart felt weak with the thought of running another mile. We had no choice; the world was floundering and we had to find a way to escape. I let my spirit animal guide me through the forest and I began to draw an imaginary map that led me to finding a key.

A to Z Music Challenge - Your Thoughts?
So I have been contemplating on this creative activity for awhile ever since I saw the A to Z challenge blog post a few weeks back........Instead of writing a post everyday starting with a letter of the alphabet, why not do a music challenge? My creative juices have ran dry these last few weeks and I have not had the time or the energy to write anything that is worth reading! Music helps to dive deep into the brain and it creates a river of emotions - or at least it does for me. I was thinking about posting a song each week starting with the beginning of the alphabet. But here's the catch - the song must MEAN something to you. Does it describe who you are as a person? Does it remind you of someone? Is it a song that reminds you of your horrible night at your High School Prom?
If you like this idea, please leave me a comment below and we can start this music challenge next week! If you have any suggestions about it, please let me know! :)

Five Sentence Fiction - Tears
I am back from hibernating!! I have sadly haven't had the creative juice flow inside of me for awhile, as well as the time. I am glad to be back in the wonderful blogging world! This week's FSF is not my best work, but it's more about the emotion that is behind it.

This week: TEARS
The day was lengthy and hot – so muggy the trees in the forest could no longer breathe. The little girl went wandering in the woods to find some shade – a place of comfort and peace. Suddenly, the serene place was full of screams – trees falling, branches breaking; nothing but the sound of pain was echoing through the leaves. She heard people laughing with great strength and felt a deep sadness grow inside of her as if she were a tree herself. The roots that were plucked from the earth were now being removed from her.

My First Blogfest!
I've been wanting to join in on the blogfest activities for quite some time, but I just haven't had the moment to sit down and actually do it. Today, I am FINALLY going to do one!!
Sad Songs Blogfest
March 30, 2012
List the songs that move your spirit, cut deep into your soul, and threaten to break your heart.
No limit - top ten or less is fine.
Diane has created a blogfest devoted to music and the emotion that it creates to help us writers write! Music is something that I am incredibly passionate about and most of the time I am listening to music as I am picking the wordy part of my brain. Here's a few that are my ultimate favorites -- some are not depressing, some are just moving. Do join in on the fun!!! :)

This week: SCORCHING
The bright flickering stars that held onto the night sky was fading with each tick of the noisy clock that was inside of my brain. A light formed beneath the earth and began to rise with force - expanding each ray as if it were a bird stretching its wings. I knelt down on the grassy marsh and waited for the immense object to grow and splash its searing heat across my body. I embraced the blistering sun; waiting for it to melt the earth and transform the planet to gray ash. Earth had thrived once and was a sanctified home for plants and animals, but its death was nearing a countdown due to the destruction caused by mankind.

This week: WICKED
His blue eyes gave way to a mischievous personality; a man with a crooked sense of humor. When we were teenagers, his motives were innocent enough, but eventually it progressed into something sinful. Somehow, I still felt drawn to him - like the atoms and molecules that make up me were automatically stitching my heart to his. My mind kept wandering off into another dimension - an alternate universe of playful lust, and then I heard the concrete words roll from his tongue and out his mouth. I repeated the unrecognizable vocabulary in my mind and sunk into a pool of reality; he was married.

Timeless
Within the last few months, I have managed to explore my computer editing skills and dig out the hopeless romantic nerd that lies within myself. Ha!
This is my last Battlestar Galatica video. I wanted to give the viewer the sense of intensity that lies within a person's journey - through life, with a lover, and with an illness that is ever expanding.
