J. Birch: June 2014
http://birchwrites.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, 28 June 2014. I’m still alive. You wouldn’t know it from the lack of blog posts (geez, the last one was September of 2013! But I can assure you that I am. Unless, of course, you are reading this sometime in the distant future, and then I might really be dead. Whoa. Dude…. I’m hoping people dig it. Fans of Gasher Creek will find themselves reading a very different story in a very different genre. Have I decided to switch genres? So that’s it? Nope, there’s more. I have big plans, kids. A hard co...

J. Birch: September 2013
http://birchwrites.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, 15 September 2013. The Great Gatsby Movie Creeped Me Out. No, The Great Gatsby creeped me out for the same reason that other films, music, TV shows, and photographs of and about that decade creep me out:. It, well . seems so familiar. Yet, the familiarity persists. Familiarity, a type of sensory osmosis that seeps through the screen or through the audio track or through the portrait. The feeling of an ivory cigarette holder pinched between two fingers. Live in the 20s. One particular friend d...

J. Birch: December 2011
http://birchwrites.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, 11 December 2011. No, I'm not talking about neurosis, although that is. Common. I'm not talking about depression, alcoholism, OCD, or a penchant for the darker things of life. Some writers have these traits, others do not. No, the trait I’m talking about has probably struck most writers before they finished reading this paragraph:. 8220;Look at him, he doesn’t care what I’m saying.”. This certainly could be true. About 99% of what we babble in a particular day can be disregarded without any g...

Beneath the Old Oak. Monday, 9 December 2013. Oceanswept Chronicles: Lara Hays. Swashbuckling pirates and romance on the high seas. I’ve recently had the pleasure of discovering ‘Oceanswept’. 8230;I’m just a short way in and I’m hooked, so it’s lovely to have the opportunity to find out more about the author behind the book, and get some fascinating insights into pirate life! And its companion short story ‘Intruder in the Brig’. Is the first book in the ‘Oceanswept Chronicles’. When I wrote Oceanswept in...

Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart - William Wordsworth. Wednesday, June 27, 2012. 55 Word Challenge - Week 15. Contest details are here. Update- This received an Honourable Mention! Thank you to the judge, Rebecca Clare Smith(@jocastalizzbet). Just a spark had been enough; the forbidden spell shredding his veins, scoring his skin. A mangled corpse lay under earth. And Lucifer, all thought. Foolish humans, not to recognise a mere vessel. Not to check his scalp. Labels: 55 Word Challenge.

The Divas of Desire: June 2015

The Divas of Desire. Meet The Divas and Their Books. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. New: Marry Me for Money @authormiakayla #NewAdult #giveaway. Marry Me for Money. May 4, 2014. My head was pounding, and the light was shining too brightly in the room. I flipped over, placed the pillow over my eyes, and inhaled the scent of freshly laundered sheets. The smell of the detergent was one I was not familiar with. I opened one eye and took a peek from under the pillow to take in my surroundings. Why am I here in this ...

J. Birch: April 2012
http://birchwrites.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 30 April 2012. Hey everyone, thanks for the patience (and the steadfast twitter support) over the past 4.5 months. I’d love to say that my disappearing act was due to fighting evil in some faraway galaxy, or perhaps finally deciphering the appeal of Stephenie Meyer, but I’m afraid it was much more mundane than that. Basically, I moved from one side of. What have I been up to in my web absence? Mostly looking for cover art and editing. I finished the 3. Onward and upward, friends! Was born in Calg...

Dreaming Of Stories: July 2012
http://dreaming-of-stories.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart - William Wordsworth. Tuesday, July 24, 2012. Dear readers, dear writers, dear dreamers,. For weeks I've been agitated with the lack of progress with my writing. It's hard and I was never naive enough to expect this whole journey to be an easy sugar-spun path. No, I knew it would be arduous. But do you know what the hardest part is for me? As if that's really a surprise! Although, I really enjoy looking for random and amazing words . . . Are you also pict...

Sunday, 6 January 2013. Visual Dare 1: Between. To check out the other Visual Dare entries, visit Angela Goff's Blog:. Her wings are granite. Her eyes are white. She’s wrinkled with cracks. Her toe is missing. I’ll catch her when she falls. When the mortar cracks and she tumbles, I’ll catch her and we’ll fall together. We’ll smash on the sidewalk and cheer like scattering coins.
