Don't Break the Chain

---

A writer is only worth anything when they take the time to write.

Yet, not all writers can produce constant pieces of fantastic fiction.

This is where Don't Break the Chain comes in. DBTC posts are

writing done for the sake of writing. It keeps them fresh, keeps them

inspired, and can be anything from poems to journals to flash fiction

and more. We hope that you enjoy!

Repeating Myself - DBTC

Here I sit,
Laptop in hand,
Keys at tips,
My own tapping band.

Reading and writing,
Beating and rapping,
Creating and typing,
Clicking and tapping,

When I look back at old chapters
and realize with a start
I'm literally re-writing the last one
I've had a damn brain fart

Hours wasted
As I wipe the page clear
I'll have to try again tomorrow
And keep my old chapters a little more near

So sorry for a lack of a Smithy chap
I really meant to put one out
But it seems I'm repeating myself
I think I need to go and pout

Looking Ahead - Journal/DBTC

First and foremost, allow me to apologize. I know that we had no post yesterday and today isn't any new fictional content. Unfortunately, yesterday just proved that life happens and by the time I was able to even get near my computer, I ended up deciding that bed was the better option. The end result was no post and no research. How sad.

That said though, I was discussing the upcoming holiday with my wife, the beautiful and talented Fabulosaurus and she told me that she was considering doing "InkTober". If you don't know what this is, it's when some artists dedicate themselves to doing a new piece of art every day. Well, I'm already trying to do that ANYWAY, but this got me thinking to last year when I did "SpookyTober". If you weren't around, "Spookytober" is dedicated to writing nothing but spooky stuff for the entire month of October.

I'm thinking I might do that again.

As a whole, it added to the fun of the upcoming holiday. It was silly but a blast and really helped dedicate me as a writer. I had to focus my talents to one specific area versus letting them wander. Plus, at the end of the day, I really do love doing spooky and creepy stuff. So, I'm thinking that might be in the works come the beginning of October.

Anyone want to join us?
