Welcome to The Bear Den
My name is Birna Mellbin, and this site is where I put my writing, be it short stories or longer works. With any luck, you will find at least some of them to be interesting, amusing, or otherwise engaging. Writing has long been a passion of mine, and the ability to share my stories with the world means a lot to me (yes, I know it sounds pretentious, but I'm being sincere here, so sue me). Now, without further ado, welcome to The Bear Den. Enjoy your stay.

Change of plans.

I was going to upload a fourth and final story in the ongoing series I've been writing, but I wasn't doing so hot today, and I just couldn't get it to work the way I wanted it to. Might get back to it next week, but for now, here's something completely different.
It is a known failing of mine.

I can start writing a romance story perfectly fine, but stopping gives me trouble.
Poor planning.

If I'd known last week's story would have a sequel when I first wrote it, I'd have named the female lead differently.
Oh well. Can't have everything.
Some romance for y'all!

Just a one-shot, though.
Unless...
Posting very early this week.

My weekend is going to be bookended by a pair of 7+ hour car journeys, so... yeah.
On the positive side, much of the time between those car journeys should be delightful, so I won't complain.
