I bought a book on how to talk the dirty speak in Russian last week. It sounds really random, but if you know me, it's not. When I brought the book home I immediately turned to chapter 7, which is all about what the kids call "talking smack" . I memorized my top 3 insults …
Author: Kari Lynn M
Hey there! I'm Kari, a self-published author/independent artist/amateur cake decorator/freelance writer and creator with a dream. The dream of sharing stories with as many people I can possibly reach... and having an abundant supply of white chocolate truffles.
And that's pretty much me!
Just another lil’ something I wrote.
Also for a creative writing class! So, what did you guys think of the first short story I wrote? Hopefully, you liked it, and you're ready for another one! So, here's just another lil' something I wrote based on this prompt... Make a small location where a group of tight-knit people are gathered and bring …
Just a lil’ something I wrote.
For my creative writing class. Hey, homedogs! I don't know why, but my computer browser always wants to correct "homedogs" to "homologs"... But, anyway, I'm back this week with... not one, but TWO short stories I wrote for my creativity class focused on writing! This one's gonna be the first, and it went off a …
My baby snail laid eggs!
I'm so low on my list of things to blog about that this is what comes out of it. But I bought a baby snail at that Petco place a few weeks ago... well, actually, I bought a lil' ghost shrimp, and the snail came with it for free. Because, apparently, baby snails aren't normally …
Do our moods dictate our writing?
I'm noticing a pattern. For example, I actually don't feel like writing this blog post right now. But I'm still doing it. But maybe it won't turn out as amazing as I actually planned. I'll admit it, I've actually felt really out of the writing mood lately. Things have been busy. I've been sleepy. I …
“Craft a cliché poem”
And so I did. This poem was yet another one made for that good ol' creative writing class, and the prompt goes... well, craft a cliché poem! Specifically, I was asked to come up with a long list of clichés and then put them together in "fresh, surprising, unexpected ways". Here's what I came up …
What I believe The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is (maybe) teaching me about writing
AND WHAT I NEED TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT. If you haven't seen or, dare I even say... heard of her yet, where have you been? It seems anymore that all I do is read my magazines, blow my nose, and watch the stuff that my magazines tell me to watch. Miraculously, one of my …

I wrote another poem.
(For my creative writing class.) So, for my first big writing project in my new writing class, I had to answer 3 poetry prompts with... well, 3 original poems. My favorite, I think, is this one... the second one. And the prompt for it was, generally, something like this... Write a poem that is a …
Emma Lenford updates for those who have been searching for them…
Whoever that is that's searching, I don't know, but I'd like to think at least someone is curious... So, I'm just immediately going to say this- I don't have super grand news. Please don't grab your torch and pitchforks. Now, I published the first book in my (new-ish) Emma Lenford series almost a year ago, …

(My kind of) An ode to snow
Oh, snow. Thank you for blanketing my Pontiac with nine inches last night. I will shovel you off tomorrow. Or the next day. Or, actually, who cares, because you won't get off the roads for anyone for the rest of the week anyway. Thank you for giving me the chance to paint my sister's toenails. …
