This is where my fancy flies.

For those of you who I'm meeting for the first time, it's nice to meet you. My name is halflight007, and I will be the writer on this journal.
A bit about myself; I'm twenty years old, going into my junior year of ( Read more... ) -

~:novel excerpt:~ On the Twenty-Third Day
My NaNo this year is as much a diary as it is a story.
As some of you will know, I graduated in May 2010. Between then and the six months it took me to find a full-time job, I went through a period of my life where the only way I could gat through the day was by hurting myself.
During that time, I came across Cracked.com's Ten Minute Guide to ( Read more... ) -
[miscellaneous] \\ Request post
I've been short on inspiration lately and am looking for something to write that I can actually post online.
With that in mind: Leave a name. Two names. More names. A prompt. A question. A quote.
If any of them strike my fancy, I'll write something for it. Sky's the limit.
Have fun. <3 -

This story corrects several errors I made in my last one. In that story, Alex was a model; here, it’s ( Read more... ) -
[brigits_flame entry] // The Something in Sherrington Woods

Put a twist on the concept, however, and that’s a much different story.
With last week’s entry, I took the concept of angels and asked you all whether an artificial ( Read more... ) -
[brigits_flame entry] // Pilgrimage
I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with science fiction. I can’t help it. I don’t really like writing it - I’d much rather write fantasy, where you can make things up as you go along to a degree. Of course, you must find a way to pull these elements together and form coherence, but in the end, it relies purely on imagination. Science ( Read more... ) -
[short story] :: Comfortable Jeans
When I see friends that are particularly down and going through a rough time, I typically try to do something to make them feel better. Most of the time, that "thing" is a story. And I do a lot of fanfics, but I wanted to do something different.
My friend lexi_nyanko has had a rough end to 2008; I want to usher in the new year with her with happiness and ( Read more... )
