Moonlake’s Lyrics (22)

Today I want to share the lyrics of a song sung by one of my favourite HK actors who is also a singer. The title of the song is called “Have never possessed” and I like it because it feels like a reflection on life by a protagonist to me and I really like theContinue reading “Moonlake’s Lyrics (22)”

The Short Story and Me

So I’ve disappeared from the blogging world for 2 months and during that time, I was occupied by the revision for part 2 of Thread, my fantasy story based on an ancient Chinese setting published in issue 1 of Excursions from the Citadel. And now I’m onto the second round of revision for it. TheContinue reading “The Short Story and Me”

Moonlake’s Meta Fiction (1)

Today I’m supposed to post my Book Discoveries for March but since I’m committed to finishing off a short story before the end of next week, I think I might have to delay the book post until the end of this month. Today I’m going to recycle one of the meta fiction pieces I haveContinue reading “Moonlake’s Meta Fiction (1)”

Character Sketches (3)

This is the last of the character sketches based on the prompt of Feeling Tearful amidst a Misunderstanding: “I will transfer a million to your bank account right away.” He said coldly and the words reverberated in her ears like a gong. She felt moisture welling up within her eyes at the same time aContinue reading “Character Sketches (3)”

Character Sketches (2)

Firstly, happy Easter, everyone! Not sure whether my followers still remember but at one stage I said I was going to create a bi-monthly commitment to put up short pieces of random writing and one series would be character sketches based on a random matching of a feeling with a catalyst event. As it turnedContinue reading “Character Sketches (2)”

Moonlake’s Lyrics (21)

The last three weeks saw me mostly mired in all kinds of promotion activities for the epub and now it’s time to catch up with the actual writing. So while I could have blogged about something more substantial, unfortunately I have to take the slack approach of doing a lyrics post again for this week.Continue reading “Moonlake’s Lyrics (21)”

A Restless Mind

To be honest, I have more than enough things floating around my mind to blog about but as the title of this post indicates, I’m suffering from a restless mind at the moment. So I might as well commit the clamour to my blog and then move on. I think it comes from two mainContinue reading “A Restless Mind”

Excursions from the Citadel- Excerpt from Winged Invasion

I admit that cannibalism of the war dead does have a logic to it. Indeed, I may have been the one to slay the man that was in my bowl. Was it a further insult that I found him unpalatable? This particular bowl of stew also came with additional pressures. It had been handed toContinue reading “Excursions from the Citadel- Excerpt from Winged Invasion”

Excursions from the Citadel- Excerpt from A Thread of Chance: An Overdue Reunion

Each Mortal is bound by a Limit, a Geomancer is also a Mortal. Every Reading comes with a Price, Know the Worth of the Price. Every Situation is accompanied by Chance, a single Thread of Chance. It is the idle season. Clusters of women gather to gossip under the rows of willow trees atContinue reading “Excursions from the Citadel- Excerpt from A Thread of Chance: An Overdue Reunion”
