In July, I took part in the Ekphrastic Review‘s Ekphrastic Marathon for my third time! It’s become one of my favorite flash fiction events to do each year.
This year, I wrote 14 pieces inspired by amazingly unique works of art. I submitted five, and two were listed as finalists!
Read “Current” and “Collage”, plus many other amazing pieces, here.

Last month I took part in the Ekphrastic Review‘s Ekphrastic Marathon for my second time! Last year was Lucky 8 and this year was Nine Lives. (Here’s my post about last year.)
As with before, I wrote several pieces based on amazing works of art. I really enjoy using art as writing prompts, so I look forward to this marathon every year.
I’m excited that my story inspired by “If only i hadn’t wished for what I thought i was missing” by Paraskevi Frasiola was featured in the Marathon Showcase!
Read it, and many other amazing pieces, here.

I’m so excited to have a piece in Briefly Write with some amazing writers!
I actually wrote this as a story for Visual Verse, so I wanted to share the original picture by Olga Naida. I was bummed when it wasn’t accepted for that issue because I thought it fit well – and wouldn’t stand on its own. But I’m so glad Briefly Write picked it up!
If you read it without seeing the picture, what did you think? Does seeing the image change your interpretation?
I’m thrilled that my creative nonfiction micro was accepted for the September image prompt at Visual Verse!
The artwork made me think of a ring my grandmother had since childhood.
And my memories flowed from there!
Last month I took part in the Ekphrastic Review‘s Ekphrastic Marathon and wrote several pieces based on amazing works of art. I’m excited that my story inspired by “The Hand, The Remorse of Conscience” was featured in the Marathon Showcase!
Read it, and many other wonderful pieces, here.
Yes, Visual Verse only publishes one image prompt per month, but I forgot to update when they accepted my piece last month, and they’ve just posted my submission for August, so you get two here!
Read my July story, “Waiting in the Rain”
I’m so happy that Visual Verse shared my May submission, “Close Your Eyes.”
I’m so happy that Visual Verse shared my April submission, “Mother of Pearl.”
As I dedicate some time to writing a new piece for the April prompt at Visual Verse, I’m excited to share the piece I wrote for March.
Here’s “Death of an Influencer.”
