Hearthfire by SnoringFrog, literature

Literature

Hearthfire

My body groans with weakness; it has been nearly three days since I have eaten. Thank the Fates, I was forced to flee during the hearthfire season. While the deep snowfall has made travel difficult and rendered food scarce, it has also ensured that my waterskins remain full. Had I been chased out of Hewden in the opendoor, I may not have been Fated to subsist so long. Nevertheless, I fear my journey is drawing near to its end. If I cannot locate food before next moonrise, the Fates will surely reclaim me. This ancient forest will serve as a better place than most for that. The trees here are old and frail, so there is little reason for any H

Authorship by SnoringFrog, literature

Literature

Authorship

People attempt to glorify authorship. So often you find writers proclaiming, "It feels so good to write again! It's been too long!" And in some circumstances, they're right. When you craft elaborate fictions entirely from your mind, it may be enjoyable (whether the thrill comes from creation or sharing), but that is not true writing. True authorship is written in red from a silver pen--a pen that is first driven into the author's chest to draw ink from their still-beating heart. When it is completed, the author lies still on the floor, all they are poured into the words they penned. True authorship is a curse; true authorship is Hell.

Till the World Got Us Fallin

So they were wrong. All those crazies thinking they could predict the end of the world, they didn't know anything. According to their claims, the end of the world was in precisely twenty-three days. Obviously, they were wrong, because this was the end of the world. Darryl was dumbfounded. For once, he had been confident in their predicitions, but now he had no idea what to do. All around him people were screaming and running in every direction. To where, he had no earthly idea. If the world was ending, what use was running? Better to spend these final moments...doing what? What was worth doing with the end so close? Finally, it hit him--the

You're Ridic

"And here. We. Go." "Can you please stop saying that like the Joker?" "I'm fairly certain that I cannot." "Jake, that's ridiculous. Just stop." "You're ridic!" "Um, excuse me?" "You're ridic. You. Are. Ridiculous." "Ugh. I regret ever shortening a word around you." "Yaaay!" "Whatever. I've about had it with your antics today. You're driving me crazy." "Crazy Taxi!" "Do you want me to lose it right now?" "I want to be the very best." "The best at what, Jake? Making people hate you? Ticking people off? Being an immature, annoying idiot?!" "Like no one ever was." "Just answer the freaking question." "To catch them is my real test

Phantom Spider by SnoringFrog, literature

Literature

Phantom Spider

Yet again, Phillip was up at two in the morning, aimlessly flipping through channels. Thousands of channels and never a thing to watch. How that was possible was something he would never understand. Inevitably, when he did find something worth watching, he found about a hundred things all on at the same time. The whole system was irking enough that Phil decided to be done with it alltogether, but that decision fell apart quickly when he tried to actually go through with it. So, regardless of how it annoyed him, he kept his myriad of channels and continued his routine of searching for something he could stand to watch. Phil knew he should jus

The Chopped Log by SnoringFrog, literature

Literature

The Chopped Log

The Chopped Log was a din of roaring guffaws and shouts. It was always the rowdiest pub for miles, but this evening was especially raucous. The filthy, good for nothing Grotes had been dealt a firm defeat, so there wouldn't be a sober Blintheman around tonight. The war wasn't over yet, but this victory put the end in sight. Soon, the Grotes would be gone for good. For now, this was a much needed respite from the fighting. The stubbled man in the back corner didn't blend in with the boisterous crowd. His muscular build and heavily tatooed arms made it apparent he belonged in this atmosphere, but his silence set him apart. He finished off the

It's like coming home by Autumn-Hills, journal

It's like coming home

May 22, 2018

Hi everyone, I've been almost silent and nearly completely absent on here for too long. Just so you know, this journal is going to come around to an upbeat perspective, but it's gonna dive deep and dark first. Okay? A long absence deserves a proper explanation. I never left you, dA. Never. The reason for this is summed up by a shitty couple of years taking their shots at me and my wife. A few years ago, we were homeless, living with friends. Then we moved in with Cet's family. My wife has a difficult relationship with her parents at times, so that wasn't great, but it saved us. I will always set out to believe in family. Throughout this g

Heir of Katterin - 01

Ailing, fading, my time approaches, Taking me from things that I hold dear. Illness takes me, claims, encroaches Upon my country, my reign, my time here. I leave behind my queen, and progeny To secure my throne and vassals, And I pray most earnestly my legacy Keeps them from needless battle. But I fear my son, my prince, my heir Shan't be deterred by my intentions. Thus, I must, while I linger here Rush to alliances to ease the tensions To lessen the chance of his campaigns Embarking to expand our borders, And thus ensure that his coming reign Sees our dear country left in order. For to pass is of itself dismal-- Though that

Coming back

0 min read

Been quite a while since I've been here, and while I have done a little writing in that time, it hasn't been the type I'd usually share here (it's mostly song lyrics, which generally don't ever end up finished/polished enough for me to publish anywhere). However, I recently realized that next year it will be 2015. Why is that significant? I'll explain. Two of the best things I did for my writing were 100 Theme Challenges. I did my first one in 2007, focusing primarily on poetry. My second HTC was in 2011, and I focused on stretching my styles and abilities, straying away from anything at all that I was used to in favor of new methods/topics/

100 Theme Challenge - Posting update

0 min read

I'm finally getting back around to uploading the rest of the pieces I did for my 100 Theme Challenge for 2011. Since I probably won't be posting much to my journal, I figured I'd bring this post back up to the top where it can be used as a directory. If you see anything that's not yet posted that you want to see sooner, let me know. Otherwise I'll go in sort-of numerical order occasionally subverted by random whims. 1. Blink - "Surely" 2. Wedding - "...do us part" 3. Fantasy - "Like Her, the Dream Is Gone" 4. Lock and Key - "Keys" 5. Heart - "Sweetheart" 6. Poison - "Emory in Viridian" 7. Fairy - "So Cute, So Innocent, So Hungry"
