Mr. Pascal's Funeral Parlor - Literally Stories

The windows are closed, the clocks all stopped, the mirrors are covered, and the Melancholies all sprinkling salt water on the body. Yes, all things are coming together. By the end of the night one would be laid to peace while one burned.

Siren - The Lab Review

You’re not sure if you’re awake or asleep. There is nothing but darkness and you can’t feel yourself breathe and your limbs aren’t under your control. The air feels different.

The Shower Principle - The Lab Review Blog
As creators we’re drawn to stories of unusual starts, of inspiration that came from unlikely places. We love the idea that someday we can unsuspectingly walk into a McDonalds and be assaulted with an idea that’s sure to be the next Hamilton.
And yet, there’s the matter of how to bring on the “Aha” moment.

The First Draft Is For You (Dummy) - Black Fox Literary Magazine
I have no shame with sharing the first draft of anything I write, and that’s a problem, because sharing too early destroyed the first draft of my most recent novel.
