Queen, Bliss, Token

Posted on October 27, 2013 by Jove Belle in Word Prompts

This is another one of those three word prompt writing exercises. Fun times. Queen, Bliss, Token “Madre de dios,” Carmen muttered the words. She’d given up on screaming about what she found after the first day. Buying the old motel off highway 14 had seemed like such a good idea when she saw the ad … Continue reading Queen, Bliss, Token →

Black, Watch, Kitten

I've been busting out some writing exercises lately and decided to share the one from today. The ground rules for this one is pretty simple. I get three words at random and ten minutes to write. Black, Watch, Kitten “Fuck!” Robby tried like hell not to use that kind of language, especially when he was … Continue reading Black, Watch, Kitten →

Love & Devotion Playlist – Song #4

Posted on April 20, 2013 by Jove Belle in Playlist

KC, the main character in Love & Devotion, is kind of a dumbass. At the onset of the story, she's having an affair with a woman who is both married and old enough to be her mother. That's a painful proposition no matter how you slice it. Song #4 is Stay by Sugarland.

Love & Devotion Playlist – Song #3

Posted on April 13, 2013April 14, 2013 by Jove Belle in Playlist

Song three is inspired by the ringtone KC assigns to her lover, Lonnie. Just like any other young person, KC assigns a unique ringtone to the people who really matter in her life. So of course Lonnie gets one. Forget about the fact that it's guaranteed disaster if anyone learns of their affair. Wouldn't you … Continue reading Love & Devotion Playlist – Song #3 →

Love & Devotion Playlist – Song #2

Posted on April 6, 2013 by Jove Belle in Playlist

Posted on March 30, 2013 by Jove Belle in Playlist

Apparently, playlists are a big deal now, or so I'm told. And since I actually have one for Love & Devotion, I'm going to share it with y'all. It's a lot of old school country, which is interesting since that's not what I spend my time listening to. Here's the first song, When God Fearing … Continue reading Love & Devotion Playlist – Song #1 →
