It's been a while since I posted my first back burner stories blog. Since then, some stories have been finished, and others have been added to the back burner. Here's a few of those new stories I'm currently working on. :)

I just had a bit of a scene pop up in my head where someone was explaining how humans are the results of crossbreeding between elves and dwarves, and what we usually consider masculine or feminine are actually expressions of our dwarven and elfin natures. I really like the idea and it feels like an important part in the middle of a story, but I'm at a loss as to what the beginning or end might be. Any suggestions?

In case you're wondering, this is a post about drabbles, not magic. ^.~ After posting my last drabble, I had looked through my stories and realized there were enough 100-word stories to make a collection. So, to make it easier for anyone who likes one of my drabbles to find the others (and to appease my obsessive need to organize things >.< ), I've created a new heading called Heather Rose's Drabbles, and placed the following stories under that heading:

This is a drabble (100 word story) about what might happen when a mother catches her son using her makeup.

I'd recently been trying to create a new blog while looking at an old blog, and I'd accidently deleted the old blog. I really liked the old blog and the responses I'd gotten to it, so I decided to create a new blog entry with the contents of the old blog. Wish me luck!

Can a boy get over his own issues with returning to something he formerly enjoyed in order to fill in for a girl he secretly has a crush on?

Hi everyone! I'm working on a story called Square Dance Stand In, but there's a couple of snags I've run into.

I'd been listening to the song, Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield, when I started wondering what the song might be like if a few of the words were changed. The results of that musing can be found in the lyrics below. :)

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a story that comes off as complete? It seems like a lot of the stories I write that feel complete to me seem to feel incomplete to other people. I really feel bad sometimes when this happens, because I don't want to give anyone an unsatisfying reading experience.

This is just a little peek into the lives of a couple of very special teenagers as they head towards their first high school dance.

Kim Cho was one of the best agents available. He was also one of the youngest. This was both good and bad for him, especially when he was assigned to work as a bodyguard at St. Genevieve's Preparatory School for Gifted Young Women.

I am so tired, but I can't sleep. I feel like there's a weight on top of me. Every breath I take seems to be harder to draw in. The weight on my chest seems to just get heavier. Part of me just wants to give up and not struggle any more. But ... I can't give up hope. Not yet.

What would happen if Peppermint Patty and Marcie were to take a hand in Charlie Brown's never ending quest to win the affection of the little red haired girl?

With great respect and admiration for Mr Schultz, along with heartfelt apologies to one of my favorite cartoonists, I'd like to offer the following comic strip for your perusal and entertainment. ;)

Sometimes team sports can be a real challenge for someone who isn't athletically gifted. Of course, how much fun you have could depend on the team you're on.

My stomach felt like a huge lump of ice had dropped into it as Captain Richards stood up and said, "Will Andrea Martin please approach the tribunal."

Wondering how long my wobbly legs would support me, I stood up and took a step forward before saying, "Actually, it's Andrew."

The captain frowned as he looked down at me from the makeshift podium. "What was that?"

Just wanted to let everyone know the little button on the left side of the main screen that says, "Eve's Apple" will lead you to a sexy transgenerific lesbian romance comedy ... with crossdressing zombies!

April 15th

For many U.S. residents, this is known as Tax Day. To honor this auspicious occasion, I humbly offer my latest drabble. :)

What is it about the stories we write that keep us going long enough to get to the end?

This is a drabble (a 100 word story) about a first trip out of the house dressed as a girl.

Lately, when I've been writing stories, I've been feeling a little ... lost.
