The King's Daughter #shortstory #romance

Here’s another short story inspired by a picture writing prompt: I’m not sure why, but I’m coming up with a lot of paranormal stuff from these writing prompts. It’s fun because it’s so different from what I’ve been writing for the past few years. The King’s Daughter The trees in the King's garden were full of colored pixie lights. The king had hired a charmer to fill the trees with pixies of different species, and so they flitted in the branches, streaks of various colors like iridescent starlight. The water garden looked even more enchanting than it normally did, but it was mostly empty at this time of night, because most of the guest were at the Pavilion for the speeches for the king's birthday.

How can I pray for you?

Photo credit: lalalime.blogspot.com How can I pray for you? I will try to remember to post this at least once a month so I can pray for you.

Pixies in a Garden in Kyoto

I suffered a pretty severe writer’s block for the past several months (I think I’m still a bit blocked), and one suggestion was to write short fiction, which I hadn’t done in a long time. Someone on the r/writing subreddit mentioned that if you write a short story a week, it’s impossible to write 52 stories that are ALL bad, at least some of them will be decent. So I decided to give it a shot. I might post some mediocre stories, but hopefully this will help get my creativity juices flowing. My favorite writing prompts are pictures, so I went onto Reddit and found some really great ones on the r/learnjapanese subreddit. This one picture spoke to me: Sogenchi Garden, Tenryu-ji Temple, Arashiyama, Kyoto - October 2017 [OC] Sogenchi Garden, Tenryu-ji Temple, Arashiyama, Kyoto - October 2017 [1265x949] As soon as I saw this photo, I immediately had the idea to write this short fluffy piece. Feel inspired? Write something yourself and post a link in the comments! Pixies in a Garde...
