Alexa Grave, Writing Prompts

http://www.alexagrave.com/forwriters/prompts.html

Fortunes of Fate Series. The Devil Made Me Do It Series. Prompt #1 - Move Your Pen to the Music. I know, not everyone uses music in their writing, but I still suggest trying the following exercise. If anything, it will get you in touch with the emotion you need to infuse in your writing. Now, you have two starts (or maybe middles or ends) of something. Take a close look and compare the two. Did you have a different emotional reaction to each song? Prompt #2 - Chain Stories. So, what's a chain story?

Alexa Grave, Burns - Poem

http://www.alexagrave.com/poetry/burns.html

Fortunes of Fate Series. The Devil Made Me Do It Series. Sallow eyes ponder who will stop their tears. Love has forsaken, left without a care. The ring burns and burns, tender flesh it sears. It happened, making truth of all my fears;. Turned away from me, left me standing there. Sallow eyes ponder who will stop their tears. The voices in his head are all he hears. Always thought it would be our lives to share. The ring burns and burns, tender flesh it sears. The emptiness gazes back from the mirrors.

Alexa Grave, Old Apparitions - Poem

http://www.alexagrave.com/poetry/apparitions.html

Fortunes of Fate Series. The Devil Made Me Do It Series. A touch, a glimpse. Shadows of a life I left behind. Turn my eyes to those who passed. Ghosts that haunt, for no known reason. Behind those past facades. Am I missing something? Did I leave a lesson behind? But my subconscious demands. I must uncover it soon. Template design from css3templates.co.uk.

Alexa Grave, Consort - Poem

http://www.alexagrave.com/poetry/consort.html

Fortunes of Fate Series. The Devil Made Me Do It Series. It calls It beckons, forcing my mind one step closer. But my magick alone is not enough. So heavy, so pressing against my temples. Someone is needed to stand by my side, to share this burden. I cannot walk through alone. A magickal consort is needed. Why won't he help me? The dust swirls and settles about my feet. Hood hiding my face. I stand in a barren wasteland. Many are here, but all are alone. The arch shimmers in the distance.

You Put WHAT in This?!?: August 2008

http://youputwhatinthis.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

You Put WHAT in This? Taking a culinary bullet for you. Saturday, August 30, 2008. My New Family Member. In any event, I decided to invest in a proper, quality cook's knife. A little research and I settled on Global as the one I wanted. It may or may not be as good as the Wusthof brand, but it's a little cheaper and I'm not a serious cook anyway. Plus, I like the way the handle looks. But I still love my new Global. I may name it. Hell, I may even baptize it. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

You Put WHAT in This?!?: Stewed Lemon Chicken - Attempt #2

http://youputwhatinthis.blogspot.com/2009/07/stewed-lemon-chicken-attempt-2.html

You Put WHAT in This? Taking a culinary bullet for you. Friday, July 24, 2009. Stewed Lemon Chicken - Attempt #2. For my second attempt at using preserved lemons, I went back to a simpler recipe: one whole chicken in a crockpot. This time I was looking to avoid the overpowering flavor of the olives and bringing out the lemons more. I wasn't feeling particularly adventurous this time, so I stuck with flavors that I knew would work with chicken and lemon: just some fresh rosemary and garlic. Nine hours lat...
