A Burning Inspiration

Fire doesn't really scare me. Not unless it's untamed. Or a threat. Still, I don't really care for it. Usually. 

But lately, I've kind of had a fixation with it. Not the fire itself, the embers, really. And yes, that does mean:

My favorite name is currently Ember 

My favorite phrase is 'Playing with fire' (by the way, I don't condone this. I just like the dangerous edge to the words) 

It has inspired some writing

Something is alluring about the glowing red orbs that linger for hours after you snuff out the flames, barely keeping their hold on life. They eventually go out and are relatively harmless, but remember, they are fire. You can't forget that.  

Present Tense, Stylized Lists and Other Things of Note

       

The cloaked maiden floats through the hall, her dress, which is the color of a sky that can't choose between sunny or cloudy, trailing behind her. You can't see her face, but somehow you know she is beautiful . As she walks away over the black and white tiles, you are left alone in the grand, deserted hallways. 

An attempt at present-tense... Nah, still don't like writing it. 

Also, I noticed that Qui from Freckles and Pointe Shoes has this neat little thing where she does these type of stylized lists. I think I'll try it:

A Writer's Friend: Yarny

Hiya! Annika here. First, we're going to talk about something that I find completely epic: Yarny.
It helped me win NaNoWriMo and now I do all my original fiction in it. It's simple, easy on the eyes and has a fun aura about it.

Okay, I joined while it was in Beta, so now I will always have free unlimited titles. I think everyone does, but I'm not sure... Anyway, people always say the snippets are good and all, but I rarely use them, mostly because I write everything in one 'snippet'. It was a life saver during NaNo, as it let me write on computers other than my own. It saves automatically and is completely secure. I seriously can't wait for the offline mode, where you don't have to have an internet connection. Also, if you're a NaNo winner, you get a discount on the premium!
