This post is the result of a conversation I had with a long-time Internet friend. I was telling him about my personal reflection spell last July/August and how one of the most potent memories that crept up on me had to do with my high school group and peer pressure. I found out I wasContinue reading “What Moves Me (2): Lost Opportunity to Stand Up for Self”

Fantasy Pet Peeve
For all that I love fantasy, I have a single pet peeve with it: all wars eventually trace back to Gods. First, for the sake of putting things in context, let me recap in rough chronological order my foray into fantasy (back in those days, nobody cared about subgenres as far as I’m concerned andContinue reading “Fantasy Pet Peeve”
World Building: Resources
Perhaps it is my economics background but I like to think about resources and how that has a range of flow-on effects. To that end, I was a little intrigued by the sci-fi book Dune but one of my friends persuaded me to try something lighter instead so I still haven’t ventured into sci-fi yet.Continue reading “World Building: Resources”
Beliefs about Numbers in Ancient China
I decided to write a post about a Chinese fun fact today and having no ideas, I Goggled it. What caught my eyes was number superstition. So today I am going to trace back the beliefs about numbers (or rather single digits since I want to limit the scope of this post) in ancient China:Continue reading “Beliefs about Numbers in Ancient China”
The Meaning of Happiness
Happiness has a slightly different meaning for everyone. Recently I had this really resonant one that came to me (or rather it was a rediscovery, I think I re-discover things a lot. I’ve recently thought about my core personality and it hadn’t changed from when I was a teenager) so I thought it worthwhile toContinue reading “The Meaning of Happiness”
Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- June 2020
Desecration by J.F Penn I think it’s a solid work, with a clipping pace and it’s a nice plot-driven detective mystery which is always to my preference. The book delves into a very dark theme but that’s okay, I can handle it. A murder was announced by Christie Agatha As a Christie Agatha mystery, IContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- June 2020”
Moonlake’s writing updates- June 2020
I’ve recently discovered that the story in my WIP is actually larger than it currently is. Furthermore, I feel like my handle on the key structural elements of my story is not yet solid. So what this means is that I’m starting to feel that it might be awhile before I can actually finish thisContinue reading “Moonlake’s writing updates- June 2020”
Random Town People
It’s been a long time since I last shared snippets of my writing on characters and I’m feeling slack today so I’ve dug out portions of my contributions towards an article called Town People which details characters that can be dropped into any medieval town. Matron Maranisha Hopsham of St. Margaret’s chapel Appearance:Matron Maranisha isContinue reading “Random Town People”
What Moves Me (1): Rewinding Time
In general, I don’t tend to display my emotions openly. In fact, it was my wont to suppress tears. But there are some exceptions so I thought it would be a worthwhile pursuit for me to record the sources behind such rare moments. I’ve previously blogged about the fast food consumption aspect of my reading.Continue reading “What Moves Me (1): Rewinding Time”
Evolution of Moonlake’s Writing Pile
This post is prompted by my whimsical exploration of the statistics to do with this blog. Specifically, I was looking at which of my posts had been shared and one of the top ones was Moonlake’s Work Pile (3) back in 2015. So in that post I had talked of 4 different writing projects andContinue reading “Evolution of Moonlake’s Writing Pile”
