Leave Out The Boring Bits

A few weeks ago I updated my website - Adopted Axiom

It's a bit better organized now, has social media plugins, and now boasts themed months of writing, as well as a mini-websieries coming soon.

The themed months are a way to get me writing more. Each month a theme is chosen, May's is imbalance, and each Monday a short story will be posted that centers around that theme. The stories will be anywhere from 100 to 500 words long. Most won't be connected except through the theme, though there will be stories featuring characters from my other projects - Thrives In The Dark, Always Even, Being What It Is and, for this past Monday, Lies Told.

May 7th's Story - Tip The Balance - Starring Rove and Lux from my novel series Lies Told

Please check it out and leave a comment on the site because I'd love to hear what you guys think.

And if you have ideas for themes that you'd like to see, feel free to let me know.

This is a continuation of the previous post. At the end of each quiz are additional materials and questions. These are from the 'Food for Thought' section.

The Questions

I used Tannis again to answer the questions.

Here's a fun quiz out of a book I bought:

What Would Your Character Do?
Authors: Eric Maisel, Ph.D. and Ann Maisel

Give it a try and you might learn more about your character!

(It's a fun book.)

I may turn this into a regular thing. It's interesting to see what the quiz answers mean for the characters.


Here's one of my answers:

Scenario One - Family Picnic - Tannis' Family Has Serious Issues

Title: Dreamcatcher
Series/Story: Thrives In The Dark (Original Fiction)
Characters: Cole and Tannis Cash (Tannis POV)
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 550

She still haunts his dreams.

Title: Dull Eyes
Author: Corelle
Rating: G
Genre: Borderline Real Person Fiction. Sad, I know.
Summary: Fatigue creeps in. (A flash fiction depicting the beginnings of depression.)
Author's Note: This is really just an inspired piece. By a photo of a Korean celebrity lol. I actually really like the character in it and I'm considering expanding it. Perhaps during NaNoWriMo.
