The prompt used: dancing in the night. While Ria seemed to be safe to be with, the first nights we spent at the same camp I could not help keeping my guard up. Taking her with me had been risky and reckless enough even though the Harmony Blade seemed to approve it. She could easily … Continue reading Prose-ject 2020 7: Dancing Angel in The Night

N. WS. Jokela, more commonly known as WindySilver, is a Finnish programmer and a hobbyist artist fighting a war against procrastination on the losing side. When her free time is not taken up by things like reading, procrastination, video games, watching series or more procrastination, she mainly writes sci-fi fanfiction and original flash fiction of various genres. While she dabbles in a lot of things ranging from digital art to jewelry to plants to whatever catches her interest, writing is her persistent forte.

Prose-ject 2020 6: The Road to Success
My father used to say that the road to success is lined with failures. As a master swordsman, he lived by that motto and did his best to teach me to do so as well. After he died and I took up a sword to fight for my village, I have done my best to follow his teachings and his motto.

Prose-ject 2020 3: Fearless Cardinal
Perhaps it was all of them. Perhaps Cardinals like that lived wherever she was from. Perhaps the fearlessness was something she could relate to. Actually, she did feel fearless;
Prose-ject 2020 2: When Everything Changed
That day was supposed to be a fun day. Olly and I had organized a charity run for us kids with our friends: each participant would pay the one-euro participation fee and we would all race to the top of the hill just outside our town. The winner would get an ice cream of their choice from our local sellers and the money would go to the local animal shelter.
Prose-ject 2020 1: Nobody’s Perfect
"Well, nobody's perfect." I shrugged. "Well, nobody told you to toss your expensive gear that we're still paying into the beast's mouth!" the team chief, Escargot — yes, he did kind of look like a snail — yelled in my face.
Posting flash fiction on WordPress (UPDATED)
Although I had planned not to participate in Prose-ject this June, I found resisting the temptation to join impossible, so I will be catching up now. However, due to the state of DeviantArt, I have chosen to post my Prose-ject 2020 stories here on WordPress as I have nowhere else to post them.
My portfolio is up and running
If you follow my Twitter account, you have noticed a lot of automated posts from WordPress. These are from posting my portfolio-worthy pieces here to have them in a neat portfolio.
