Welcome to Nadiyah's Flash Blog
Occasionally, I'll sit down and write little short snippets of what could someday turn into a longer story...or not. Either way, I thought, "Hey, why don't I post them so people can read them?" So, here they are. Uncut. Enjoy.
PS. The book I'm using is called, "500 Five-Minute Writing Exercises." I wrote it because I needed one like it. If you would like a copy, you can go HERE. You can also

Book 2 Marathon is Over!!!!!!
Yippeee Skippeee!!!! As of yesterday (or really, really early this morning) Blood Of The Hunted: The Demon Cleaner Book Two is complete. I have sent it in to createspace to the wonderful peeps over there can check the formatting and make sure all's well. once i have the all clear, i can order my proof and check for any other edits that may need to be done. otherwise, i'm done. i can breathe for a few seconds. the last few weeks have been nothing but trying to get it finished asap. i have been working on it for a few years now so it's good be finally done with that. now i can catch up with other projects.
Like this blog, which has been horribly neglected.
so, updates. my main internet computer is back in the shop. it never completely recovered from when it got hit with that virus the last time. so i took it back to my guy. he decided to just go ahead and reformat the drive then reinstall the os, which is what one of my big bros said should be done. (it sucks because i forgot to copy the file i had started that had google's celebatory pics it. ah well. just gotta take that in). he's having trouble installing the os. something about xp and netbooks...there were a whole lot of words in there that amounted to he's working on it diligently. but it's not complete.
you may have noticed that i have not yet updated any of the tabs on this blog even though it's been like a month since i started working on that. i'm working on it diligently...well, i will be now that book 2 is complete. between book 3 (which i've already started) and bsm issue 3 (which i've already started) i'll be catching up on all other projects that tend to get neglected when i'm working on big writing/editing projects. in fact, if i can get them done early, that would astound even me.
expect a 5-minuter from me soon. till next time.

The Updates, They Are A-comin'
So, while I do have every intention on working primarily on The Demon Cleaner Book 2, I have found motivation (possibly because my light is off and the only source of light in my room at present is my computer) to do some restructuring of my blog. My plan is to have little bits of information about my other projects on this blog so you may also have a peak into my other worlds in case you are not yet familiar with them.
While at the moment the new pages are blank, they will be filled in gradually as i come up with what it is that I want to say about them. So stay tuned, updates are always in the works.

I've got it. I'm on a roll
Ex 221: Write an opening using, "I've got it. I'm on a roll now. On a roll."
"I've got it. I'm on a roll now. On a roll," I said to Martine as she watched me pull switch after swift and push button after button. I always told my sister that being an aviator with a minor in math was going to come in handy one day. She mocked me. All the way through college, she mocked. At our graduation party, she cracked jokes. She was going to go off and make the world greener, while I, she said, was going to go help pollute it for the man and people who wished they were birds. Well, huh, the joke's on her. her and her measly zoology degree. Ain't no zoo up here. Hell, ain't no animals period. Were it not for me, we'd be stuck in this spaceship with no one way home.

Sometimes you just need a good ole' fashioned 5-minuter
Ex 166: Write an opening using a sofa
He threw a sofa at me. God, I do not get paid enough for this, I thought. I shot back at him with my laser gun. He grumbled and stumbled, but didn't fall. I keep telling my commaders laser guns are useless on rabid cave trolls. Their skin is just too thick and they're too stupid to know that they should be in pain.
The troll stumbled into the kitchen. This time, its weapon of choice was a stove. Even after we wiped the home owner's memory, how were we going to fix the damage done to the poor man apartment? And not to mention that neighbors...and the police report.
Ducking and dodging appliance after appliance, I finally managed to get close enough to shoot the troll's knee at point-blank range.
