Seeing as mine is a writer's journal and I've never actually posted any of my stories (publishers frown on that; they don't want to pay for work people can already read for free), I thought I'd post something I'm never going to submit in honor of three_weeks_for_dw  (and to prove that I'm not making up all the writing I yap about!).

The first bit is the beginning of a Letter Game I started with a friend of mine who studied abroad in '08--we never finished the game (I hear that's how most Letter Games go), but we did send the first few letters.

( My character began the game, and this was her first letter )


Secondly, I'm a terrific hoarder of story ideas, and also believe that no two people will ever write the same story from the same inspiration.  So, below are a few choice samples from my Story Ideas file--check them out for inspiration or just a peek inside my head.
