Catz

So I'm feeling a bit on the lazy side right now, so here's something to make you feel lazy too.

Hope

This is the first direct continuation of another story. I didn't really intend this but we'll see where it goes. As of right now I'm not sure what I'll be writing for the next little while, so just hang in there and hopefully something will work out.

LOOPHOLES!

Loopholes! So sweet and tasty!
Loopholes! Don't be too hasty!
Loopholes! Loopholes loopholes LOOPHOLES!

Ok, about a DAY after I started the blogs I found a loophole in my "draw something creative and write something creative"each day. I realized a comic takes artistic work AND written work to make. I was going to exploit that loophole right then and there, but decided against it and to save it for emergencies only!

Feeling under the weather

Sorry guys! maybe I'll be feeling better tomorrow!

ahh forget you!

Story 2

This one is a bit sweeter of a story. A lot of what Short Story Ideas has given me are dark and serious themes, this one was a bit more light hearted. I got to play around with character names a lot today and I kind of enjoyed that.

Anyway, that's the end of the 7 days of Short Stories from Short Story Ideas. It was kind of interesting, a little disappointing that 3 took place at an Internet Cafe but I like to think I made it work. Tomorrow I go back to just doing what I feel I can do until I come up with another gimmick.

Enjoy the second story!

Story 1

As promised today I have 2 stories for you! They'll be in 2 separate posts.

Interesting story today.

Coffeeeee

Time for another short story! I need a coffee..... badly....

I'm not used to being up this early!

Ok, this went surprisingly better than I expected. I also like the kind of dark insinuations of the establishments past.

Jonsing!

Wow what a day! Yesterday I was itching to do something creative! I tell you, writing daily gives you an itch you just GOTTA scratch!

Speaking of not writing (or drawing) yesterday, I don't want you guys to feel like you're getting 1 less this week, so Saturday I'll be doing a double update both here AND the art blog!

So onto today's story!

Tuesday, January 17, 2012

Seriously!

Ok, I kind of like this one, but this is one of the reasons I didn't want to write the first scenario given to me all the time. Short Story Ideas the website tends to have a VERY finite amount of locations in its database and more often than not I see the same one come up over and over.
So, I hope you enjoy this one!

Gypsy Magic

Shame! Scandal! Abandonment! Today's tale contains 2 of those 3 things! Thanks again to Short Story Ideas website. Today's the second installment of writing the first thing I'm given. Time to write!

Sunday, January 15, 2012

Write with errors!

INTRIGUE is the name of the game today! Apparently.
Short Story Ideas gave me a scenario to write about, and, well, I'm going to write it! Even if I don't like it! Here goes!

So much of this is probably inaccurate as all hell, but its supposed to be a good read, not necessarily an accurate one.

Also, I kind of want to open an internet cafe called "Ensemble Dark Horse" now...

[INSERT TITLE HERE]

So I'm going to be lazy today and just give you another limerick to read. For the next week I'll be writing a short story every day based on what Short Story Ideas the website gives me. First thing it gives me, I write a story about. So, because the next 7 days will be spent with me writing short stories for scenarios that for all purposes might not inspire me at all, I'm taking today off.

And by taking today off, I mean writing a limerick.

Routine

After I finish with the art intensive part I'll be doing a short story week where I'll be writing a short story about the first idea suggested by Short Story Ideas the website. In the meantime, enjoy a story about a person and his routine.

A tree

They say no ones a real poet until they write a poem about a tree, so here goes!

Wednesday, January 11, 2012

Based on a True Story!

I know it's still more work going on at the Art side of the blog but I decided to write a short story I just HAD to share with you today.

Be Quick

A quick Limerick before I go to work! Thank god for Rhymezone otherwise these limericks would take forever!

Monday, January 9, 2012

Taking it easy

The next few days will be kind of ART intensive at Dueling Passions, so I'll be taking advantage of that to just throw up a few poems or limericks. Plus it'll give me an opportunity to get inspired to write something else!

1 week

Hey! I've done this for a week now! Woohoo! lets see if I can go for a month!

Genre writing!

I've always been told two things when it comes to writing. Write what you know, and stick to one genre. They say you should find a genre you're good at writing and stick to it. I've always felt like that's bullshit. I think you should exercise your writing muscles by trying to write in different genres. If you like writing in one particular genre, that's great, but don't pigeonholed yourself. It would be like if you listened to only one band. You'd never grow. I've always felt like there's room for anything in genre crossover. You could make someone laugh in a dramatic situation or make someone cry in a comedy if you do it correctly. Anyways...


After the break is a rather emotional story I wrote today. I wasn't sure what I was going to do since I absolutely LOVED the comedic ending of yesterday's story. When I  woke up this morning I just knew today was something serious and emotional. I won't lie, I got a bit emotional myself writing it. I hope you enjoy it!

Inspiration

It's hard to get inspired sometimes, but I keep going! The most important thing is to WRITE! If it's good or not doesn't matter.

Phoning it in

I'm phoning it in today. I had a bigger plan but I slept too late today to get started on it. I think I'll save it for Saturday or Sunday, some day that I have off and can sit in front of my computer for hours on end to write. Enjoy a limerick I wrote about it!

The Man in the Window

This one was inspired by a semi-true event. I was on my way home last night and saw a man in a window and thought it'd make a great idea for a short.

Something simple

After the fiasco of yesterday and struggling to come up with something to write about, today I'm doing something a little different, I'm going to write a simple poem.

Monday, January 2, 2012

more short stories

It took me a while to figure out what to write today. I really struggled with this one. Tomorrow I might do something simpler.

Every Story has its beginings!

Hello! Welcome to the very FIRST post of the blog! In case you're wondering what this is all about I'm going to attempt to write something creative every day for the year. It could be anything, a short story, a poem, a chapter of a larger narrative, a dirty limerick, ANYTHING!

So, for the first post, lets start with a short story!

You can read everything after the break!
