18: Elizabeth has some pride in talking herself out of a situation, only to second guess herself later. She is proud of her kids, but she doesn’t talk about them much, because that might mean admitting the possibility that they were casualties of the Third wave pandemic or the riots. 19: Elizabeth is older, so…

May Character 14th-17th
We are doing a character profile of Elizabeth this month. 14: Not a quote, but a scene: The anger that came from Charlie made me wish I didn’t have that telepathic connection with him. “It doesn’t matter. He’s been missing for so long, he’s probably dead anyway.” Remorse filtered into the…
World building- Biblical Angels (A video)
I wish I saw this before I wrote the Elizabeth series. Fortunately, the angels I mentioned in the Elizabeth Series still fit under these categories. Anyway, as I watched this video, I thought it would be cool if someone with some CGI talent could create a true-to-description angels – all nine types. I tried…
May is Character Month – 9th-13th
How quickly time flies. This is why I try not to make promises. Things happen, and I can’t seem to keep up at times. We are still talking about Elizabeth Weinstein of the Elizabeth Series. 9: Elizabeth will not stick around if someone verbally cuts her down. Belittling or name calling is not the same…
May Character – 5th, 6th,7th and 8th.
It’s been crazy the past few months, but I’m also finding easier to do these in “bulk” or at least, a few at a time. 5th – Character’s greatest fear is making the wrong choice that negatively affects a large group of people 6th – Elizabeth’s weakness is also her strength. She’s pretty good…
May Character – 4th
Growing up with a toxic family, Elizabeth learned how to talk her way out of trouble. In Heritage, she has to confront a creepy stalker and a bank robber. Unfortunately, talking the would-be-robber out of the bank robbery got her in even more trouble with Nevil Kipp, the self-aggrandizing officer of a secret society known…
Plumber P.I. (CLOSAT)
Not too long ago, I pulled cards out for the CLOSAT game. This story is the result. After a cold winter, the 68 degree spring weather made even the most obnoxious, entitled bureaucrat showed some hint of humanity. Anthony Hernandez leaned up against his red restored 1965 Mercedes-Benz and pulled out his phone. He played…
Flash Fiction Friday (CLOSAT Game)
Need a little writing boost? A little while ago, I wrote about CLOSAT and reusable note cards. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while and I finally picked five random cards from the game. The results: Character: A plumber who works in an ultra-rich neighborhood that houses politicians and government employees Location:…
The “Cast” (Elizabeth Series)
The cast of characters of the Elizabeth series from Artbreeder. I finally fixed Nevil (mostly). You can see the previous post on the subject.
Reusable Note Cards
I have plans for this blog, and one of those plans is to start writing short stories once I finish the Finale to the Elizabeth Series. Until then, I plan on building an online database of CLOSAT projects. For more detailed information on CLOSAT, you can check out this link here. You don’t necessarily need…
