Random writing (9)

Prompt used: “I fell in love with a personalty who made me reckless I thought that was the worship that I wanted to pursue… I miss the simple pleasant little hardihood in my past” The first time I lay eyes on the mansion, I knew that I had fallen in love with it and thatContinue reading “Random writing (9)”

Random writing (8)

Prompt used: “I fell in love with a person who made me recognisable I thought that was the world that I wanted to pursue But having rushed about here and there, being misunderstood and being cheated I question whether the world underlying grown-ups always is always fleeting or inconsequent… The sky is very big butContinue reading “Random writing (8)”

Random writing (7)

Prompt used: “Until my eyesight becomes blessed until I cannot breathe Let us be insightful in body and shadow” I never thought that I would be blessed with receiving the Sight, the gift of divining from dancing shadows. Shadows don’t dance, you say? But they do. They dance out of the corner of yourContinue reading “Random writing (7)”

Moonlake’s Lyrics (3)

A little change of pace for today’s lyrics post. Instead of liking it for delving into life philosophies and themes, this one drew me because of it told a tale, a somewhat wistful tale of love and reincarnation. It’s also a relatively new song, in Mandarin and its title is “the Love of a ThousandContinue reading “Moonlake’s Lyrics (3)”

Random writing (6)

Prompt used: “Half ludicrous within my dreams, I suddenly realise it’s so collateral. What is love? Merely being among movable winds and bizonal rain. Blind, redolent…” I had a dream. I can only remember the barest outline of it, the vaguest outlines of the emotions it contained. Within the dream, I was half ludicrous. IContinue reading “Random writing (6)”

Moonlake’s Novel Planning Method

I haven’t shared any writing insights lately because my novel is stagnating a little. But today I’m in the mood to post about writing again. In particular, I would like to share my particular method of novel planning. My current method is actually derived from the following two articles: The Snow Flake method by RandyContinue reading “Moonlake’s Novel Planning Method”

Moonlake’s Writer Home

Since I mentioned it in my last post, I might as well write up where I frequent as a hobby writer, a place that I think of as my virtual home. It might come as a surprise to some but it is neither a writers’ site as people think of it nor someone like WattpadContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writer Home”

Moonlake’s Reading List (1)

This is not an actual new serial that I’m not starting, merely a teaser/foreshadowing thread for the Moonlake’s Book Discoveries series that I had promised to do every three months. I had just finished a non-fiction about falconry and Mongolia. It was really research for the fantasy novel based upon the Mongolians that I’m tryingContinue reading “Moonlake’s Reading List (1)”

Moonlake’s Lyrics (2)

Another making-up-for-word-count post. This one is a little morose but I love it because it contains one-liners that touches on the human truism about choice and again, the theme of gain and loss. It’s another Chinese old song (truth be told, the lyrics of old songs appeal to me more. 90% of new songs areContinue reading “Moonlake’s Lyrics (2)”

Moonlake’s Lyrics (1)

I have quite a fetish for good song lyrics, so much so that I sometimes am taken with a song not because of the tune but purely because of the lyrics. For that matter, I actually prefer instrumentals to a song with meaningless/bad lyrics. So I am starting a new series of posts titled Moonlake’sContinue reading “Moonlake’s Lyrics (1)”
