About Me

Greetings for the landscape of my mind and welcome to the wonderful ride I call creativity. Leifgsnotae.com is about and for flash fiction of various types; from serials to mini (micro fiction), from poetry to short stories, I traverse the greater expanse of my mind and share with you what comes out of it. I update this blog daily, so you should always look forward to another new adventure as you rise from your bed.

There might be better blogs out there dedicated to flash fiction, but none are quite as strange and humorous as my own. What qualifies me to make this statement? I have written for over fourteen years (though, to be honest, the video game era of my life sort of put it into a blender and made my brain a little slushy) where I was a pretend wrestler, thought I was a script writer and even produced four manuscripts that will never see the light of day (that is, until I leech them out as a series, I am sure).

What I have to offerMy big moments now are serialized fiction. There is nothing I enjoy more than weaving a yarn that last for weeks. As my friends and fans can attest, they certainly hate it when I do it, but they love coming back every week to see what the newest adventure is all about. You can read some of my series by clicking the link below.

The Wicked Cat Series – Pirate Fantasy Flash Fiction set in my manuscript world of Niris
The Devil’s Spine Series – Traditional Fantasy Flash Fiction set in my manuscript world of Niris
Amott’s Hearth – Sci Fi Flash Fiction set in the mystical world of The Hearth
The Water Caster Series – Loose series based off of one character set in my manuscript world of Niris

COMING SOON

Those Who Are Dead But Cannot Die Series – Traditional Fantasy Flash Fiction set in a world I used to game in (with the blessings of the curator of the world)

Be sure to check in for more as the year progresses. I have many things planned and hope to share them with you all here.

But you are a horrible writerAh, that I cannot argue. There were times when I would post whatever struck my fancy and hoped that people would ignore the issues. I am getting better now. I understand the structure and layout of a good story versus a poor tale. Every week I try to incorporate what I have learned and share it with you, take your feedback and tinker more until I feel the progress is complete (which, as you might understand, is never). When you read my series, I am sure you will see the growth and changes that come with the territory. Now that I am writing my series in blocks instead of on the fly, I hope to have some more consistency (again, I am learning).

How can I get in contact with you?You can get in touch with me via lefigsnotae AT gmail DOT com or you can leave a comment on a post and I will get back in touch with you. It might not seem like it, but I really do enjoy engaging others in conversation about pretty much anything. I would love to hear from you. Please take a look at my resume below to see what sort of guest posts or published stylized flash fiction I can offer you. Thank you for taking the time to read my work and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
