The line is not from Wild Writing actually but taken from the novel Northern Star Guide me Home by Jo Spurrier. I like the line a fair bit, in that I can take it in so many directions, such that I reused it for free writing for my female protagonist of my work-in-progress. Anyway, enjoy.

Craft and Curiousity 2023- Part 1
I’ve already done my Craft Read for this year- the Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, except that it was not written in omniscient which I was led to believe (and that was the craft element I intended to study so it looks like I really should get a copy of Shipping News). For my CuriousityContinue reading “Craft and Curiousity 2023- Part 1”
Good days of writing… bad days of writing…
This is just my own prompt inspired by a Wild Writing piece I did off “good news… bad news…” Good days of writing: you know what happens in the scene and you just know how to write it. Everything flows seamlessly onto the page. Bad days of writing: you try to write it but there’sContinue reading “Good days of writing… bad days of writing…”

I am a 38-year-old girl
This is my own prompt and I wrote this piece two years ago so I’m actually 40 now. But nothing has changed much. I am a 38-year-old girl. It’s strange but I never considered myself a woman. I mean, I am quite mature mentally but somehow the label didn’t feel right. I think of myselfContinue reading “I am a 38-year-old girl”

Adventure Aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 26
Estella whispered to me, “We need to slow him down, it’s still early, they’re probably still at his office.” I hurried to catch up with Scorsby. “Hey, we still haven’t talked about the jobs you wanted us to take off you.” “Let’s have one last drink while you tell us for the road, whatever yourContinue reading “Adventure Aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 26”
Moonlake’s Book Discoveries: June 2023
Fantasy The Lyonesse trilogy by Jack Vance My final verdict upon my second reading is that I like the trilogy enough but I don’t really love it, hence why I couldn’t remember much about it. But I think a younger me probably did enjoy how whimsical the whole trilogy is (it does contain dark themesContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries: June 2023”
