I’m all smiles, I must say as I gratefully thank everyone responsible for making the A to Z Challenge possible. I thoroughly enjoyed the writing challenge of creating a story in under 200 words beginning to end. It was fun too, creating a variety of instances, people and scenarios to generate a completely different […]

Z (A to Z Challenge)
Her zest for life was contagious. No one could tie her down. When others might hold back and watch from the sidelines, she was front and center. Vibrant, game for everything and anything, she would dive in with excitement and vigor. There was no slowing her down. All we could do was watch […]
Y (A to Z Challenge)
Amy sat with the forms in front of her, wondered about her birth parents. It was a passing thought now and again. Who were they, where were they, why had they given her away? Did she really want to know? Even the thought filtering through her consciousness had her feeling guilty. Adopted at birth, […]
X (A to Z Challenge)
My thoughts cannot be described in polite company my love. Each would end up x-rated. You are divine in every way and I cannot live a day without seeing you, witnessing your beauty, your kindness, your love. I would wonder the earth in search of you, none other your spot could fill. I beg […]
W (A to Z Challenge)
He had to write the jacket for her first novel and must describe this woman to the world. Such a mixture of calm assuredness yet full of adventure, a constant delight. Warm, witty, and wild but a few adjectives to describe her winsome ways. How could he characterize all that was contained within this vibrant […]
V (A to B Challenge)
My little vixen, vibrant and strong, always leading the pack, so full of adventure. How I loved and missed my little girl yet incredibly proud of who she’d become. She hadn’t changed much, still so full of life, living and joie de vivre. Every moment oozing vitality, vigor and the desire to eke out […]
U (A to Z Challenge)
A lifetime spent with Margarita wouldn’t be enough. Mason loved her unique style, unselfish bent, unforgettable personality in every way. That he understood her, got her, blew his mind. Many looked on and shrugged as a perplexed look crossed their faces. Yet to him, she was an open book, flowing with ideas, creativity, fun […]
S (A to Z Challenge)
His list grew daily, hourly. He’d been drawn in by her sassy attitude, finding it seductive and sexy. Layer by layer, as he’d come to know her moods, her emotions, her thoughts, the list of what drew him to her grew. She could be sensual, playfully sinful, spicy. When it mattered, she was sweet, a […]
R (A to Z Challenge)
Kendal thought her ravishing. No more the shy retiring bud, but a blossom of perfection. She’d overcome her fears, concerns, worries, fretting. Lost in the song, she danced with passion, living the moment, in the moment. It was heaven watching her graceful movements, flowing from delight to torture and back to grace. Every step […]
P (A to Z Challenge)
Minnie looked on with pride and joy. My children were good people. After asking if I’d be alright for a minute, Minnie smiled as her son helped an elderly woman across the gravel that made walking with her cane difficult at best. Job accomplished, he returned and picked up her bags, wrapped a protective […]
N (A to Z Challenge)
Jennifer had been a naughty child, not mean, cruel indifferent, just incorrigible and adventurous. As she looked back through the years, she realized she’d probably given her parents near heart-attacks with her antics. A tomboy of the first order, there was no risk, no adventure she wouldn’t undertake. Often playing by the forbidden railroad tracks […]
M (A to Z Challenge)
Jaxson was all that and a bag of chips. Magnificent, manly, magnetic. And he was all hers. She watched him splash around in warm Martinique water in preparation. The waves were cranking. She could feel his eagerness. Although he’d started later in life (compared to the youngster swarming the water), as soon as he […]
L (A to Z Challenge)
When I think of you, I remember how I lusted at all the possibilities before us – lusted for our future together! Dreaming of shared experiences, moments of pure intimacy, romance, all with anticipation and delight. Full filling shared goals, dreams, the joy of growing old side by side, we, together, the dynamic duo. I […]
K (A to Z Challenge)
Jessy and Franklin had been kindred spirits since their formative years. They’d clicked, no need to try, it was there. They spoke the same language in everything except romance going their separate ways but remained close though lovers had come and gone over the years. Jessie smiled picturing them together sitting on the beach, […]
J (A to Z Challenge)
Her songs joyful yet jazzy compelled the listener. My little jellybean had grown into a successful songstress, an artist with masses following her every move. I sat in the wings, tears filled my eyes as I looked on with complete joy. My daughter, my little girl, on stage singing with passion, beautify, a mix […]
I (A to Z Challenge)
Isabel stood stock still staring in shock and horror, immobile. Tears slowly filled her eyes, traveling down her cheeks. She stared down at the broken shards of cup and saucer at her feet in devastation – it was irreplaceable, one of a kind! Sliding down the cupboard she sat beside the pieces, dropped her […]
F ( A to Z Challenge)
This relationship was too damn much work I decided. I’m hauling her around. I feel as though I’m dragging her along by the arm. Let’s do this, try this, go here, travel there, take time for ourselves. It was a constant tug of war and my shoulders arms and back ached with the effort. What […]
E ( A to Z Challenge)
Marisa sighed. Eugene loved her beyond compare. Loved her without exception, offering more than he gave. He was elegant, endearing, in every possible way. He cared and showed it with action. Considerate, compassionate and exceptional in bed. The sight of him filled her with delight, peace, enjoyment, but the fire was missing. Why […]
D ( A to Z Challenge)
Gramma was gone. It was a tragedy of immense proportions in Emma’s mind. Her confidant her most treasured companion with whom she’d shared her highest highs and lowest lows always offering listening ear or warm hearted-hug. No matter what she was doing, she’d made time for Emma. Emma’s story writing was born from […]
C (A to Z Challenge)
Tamara was captivating. Her strength determination frivolity combined with astute business sense meant her work was in demand and continually growing. With a clear vision for her company and its future, she’d hired additional staff and moved steadily forward. It was a brand-new niche and she’d fallen in love instantly. The increasing popularity and availability […]
B (April Challenge)
Frazer stood on the sidelines, watching. The Garden Show was well attended and a stroke of genius, drawing hundreds to the opening of their latest Hotel. Their efforts justifiably rewarded by constant words of appreciation, smiles, nods, the glow on enthusiast’s faces. Glancing back and forth, he spotted a lovely young woman roaming alone. She […]
A (April Challenge)
My Z to Z Challenge theme is love and romance in all it’s quirkiness. Requited, unrequited, familial, romantic. Hope you enjoy. He was head over heels in love with her. A sonnet, a poem, a love song, he’d tried them all attempting to romance her. Other than a flicker of a smile or raised […]
Zany #AtoZChallenge #amwriting
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of coming up with a new word for each letter of the alphabet, in my case “emotions”. Thank you all for reading and hopefully enjoying. I look forward to the next time round. Larissa was looking with eager anticipation to her first televised show, “Zany by Degree” starring, none […]
Youthful #AtoZChallenge #amwriting
Jessie was 91 and joked she didn’t look a day over 90 and proud of it. What a ham, what a delight. She held court three days a week at Marisa’s boutique arriving at ten am and leaving precisely at three considering her day well spent. Her stories were timeless, energetic, scandalous (for her day), […]
Xenophobic #AtoZChallenge #amwriting
Anna welcomed everyone. She was a natural at placing regulars and new arrivals at ease. Hiring her was the best move Frank ever made. Youthful, vibrant, a seeker of life, that summed up a part of who she was. Loving and caring following closely behind. Other’s held the position before her, showing xenophobic tendencies (stranger […]
