A Twist of Noir

I have a new short story, Home Movies, up now at A Twist of Noir.

Occasionally, I'll find myself caught up writing something genre, something I didn't expect or intend to write, something I have an awful lot of fun with.

The penning of Home Movies was one of those occasions. In August, over at the writer's workshop Critters Bar, I participated in a Story A Day blast where the participants tried to write and post something new every day. The skeleton of this short was a result of that exercise.

Many thanks to Christopher Grant, editor, for accepting and posting Home Movies at his site, A Twist of Noir.

Enjoyable Flash

A couple of quick flashes that I enjoyed reading this morning. Might be worth your two minutes, too.

Darby Larson's 'Daisies' at Everyday Genius,
and
Nora Nadjarian's 'Egg' at Staccato Fiction,


On another note, here are some observations I jotted down that might lead to stories:

(1) Tomorrow is the birthday of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.

(2) "She was planning it all the time. I found an ovulating kit hidden in her closet." (From a courtroom television show)

(3) "She refused to lose weight. I'd come home and find donuts hidden in the bookshelves and cupboards." (From a courtroom television show)
