I have so many flash fiction pieces. I wanted to share some of my favorites with readers. Tingle has a bit of a dark edge to most of the stories inside, but each one evokes a feeling or thought. I love stories that can touch you in some way.

When I was a kid I always wanted to know more about a character's background or what happened next from a favorite show or movie. So I started writing my own stories about them. :) Fan Fic is a fun way to get started and learn about writing. Then in 2006 I signed up for my first NaNoWriMo and wrote In the Dark.That was when I knew what my calling was to be a writer. :)

I have a few projects currently. One is a western Outlaw Born, a paranormal Noir: The Lazarus Shroud, and a romantic thriller Every Waking Moment.

1. keep a pen and notebook on you at all times. That way whenever you have a moment you can write. Even if it's waiting in line at the grocery store.
2. Write every day. It doesn't matter if you only get 100 words in, take the time.

If I get stuck or "blocked" I usually have the character lose something. They have to search where ever they are at for the object. Or just get nosey if they're in someone else's home or car. Sometimes this can lead to a new idea or a fun "break" from a serious point in the plot. Especially if they get caught going through someone's junk drawer or medicine cabinet. who knows there may even be a clue hidden in those places :)
