(free image/source: upsplash.com) I’ve been a very bad blogger this week. But, while I have not posted, even for my own challenge, I have been writing something new for Medium that I will post here later in December once it has been published. It’s a Christmas tale, and I think it might be fairly good. I bowed out on Erotic Blog Posting Month (also my own creation). But, meh. It’s just one more thing that reminded me I need to do less…better. Which leads me to this week’s Flash Fiction Friday! Today we are having our first professional family photos in something like 1o years. We’re going with flannel and…

Where I live, in the PNW, this is the dark time. Winter is on the horizon, a chill is in the air, and the sun becomes shy most days.

It’s been awhile, but I’m ready to get back to business. I’ve simplified a lot of things, and I’ve let go of many projects, but FFF is not one of them.

It’s Friday, and I’m heading off to a soccer tournament, so I thought…why not bend the prompt around this topic somehow? Got a sexy soccer mom (or dad) tale? Soccer players getting down?

I can’t believe it is already Friday, and I’m heading into a 3-day weekend as it is 4th of July here in the states. As such, it’s an FFF theme week! I know not every is patriotic, nor does everyone celebrate the 4th, but the theme could easily be twisted a dozen different ways.

Fuck. Another week flew by without me playing my own game. I’m doing some supervisory work I hadn’t planned on, and I’ve just not had much energy, creatively or sexually speaking (no motivation or energy to give to the blog). But, I’m beginning to feel grounded, finding my new routine. So, maybe I’ll get back in the swing of things on the blog this week? *crosses fingers * In the mean time, here is the next Flash Friday Fiction prompt!

Alright, my friends, 5 people jumped on board last week. I had a rough one, creatively speaking (no motivation or energy to give to the blog), so I didn’t even play my own game (I hate it when that happens, but I’ll be better this week, I promise).
