I've had a near impossible time writing this evening. But I wrote something, so at least I can go to sleep. Thanks for reading! The morning light wrapped itself in silver fog, and thirteen-year-old Miracle June wonder what it felt like. She wasn’t going to find out. There was a ceremony to attend and prayers …
If you've been reading along, you know I've been working on a religion for my alternative sci-fi fairytale universe. Ah, but that's not all! So, working on an alternative, more sci-fi version of Christianity is just part of the story. Because what's one religion without another? People need other belief systems to choose from and …

I wasn't in the mood to write anything. But I did google more Bible verses to rewrite for my fictional universe. I realized that some verse would fit into my story just fine the way they are. Direct quotes from this world, however, isn't really what I want. My sci-fi fairytale holy book will either …
It's been a long and busy Monday. When I finally sat down to write, I had no ideas. Nonetheless, I wanted to write something, even if it was almost nothing.

Another day and more backstory! Not sure what others think, but it is helping me a great deal. Thanks for reading! Kiminoki was supposed to keep the door locked, but often she forgot. Perhaps she forgot on purpose. Locking others out meant locking herself in, and hearing the click of the bolt spiraled her mood. …
More backstory. This involves a character who becomes involved in a dangerous organization, and it is what sets her on the path to meet our heroines. Thanks for reading! Modest and quiet Oxya-Fen was born to ordinary Venusian parents soon after the Mercury conflict came to a close. But her parents told her little about …
It must be a kind of madness to think I can do this challenge twice in one year. Nonetheless... Today I'm working on more backstory. I decided to write about the night the parents of one of my main characters met. Thanks for reading! Kiminoki arrived late to the ball, and it wasn’t until she …
