You walk past a thousand stories in one day. What will you do with them?

Originally posted on What Inspires Your Writing?:
This week the spotlight shines on Devon McLaughlin, a fantasy author from Delaware and our latest winner in the ChapterBuzz writing contest! I asked Devon about what inspires her writing. The answer she gave is fantastic, and she even offers some great advice to budding writers in the…

The Concept of Meta Fiction

I mentioned something called Meta Fiction in my last post and since it’s not a well-known term I think I better explain what it is in a follow-up post.   Basically, I have come up with the following definition for it: it is a piece of prose written in the voice of a fictional characterContinue reading “The Concept of Meta Fiction”

Write-as-you-go plus Write-what-you-know

In between my commitments to my Writer’s home and the epub, I have most of my time occupied for time, not to mention that I’m back to FT work for a year. So I figured I better sneak in time whenever possible to actually write a post rather than doing lyrics posts or other alternativeContinue reading “Write-as-you-go plus Write-what-you-know”

Moonlake’s Lyrics (20)

Almost couldn’t make it today as I was rushing to finish off my solo story for issue 1 of the epub. We are rushing to the finishing line now, 90-95% there on all stories except this one I’m wrapping up today. So today’s post will have to be another lyric post.   The following songContinue reading “Moonlake’s Lyrics (20)”

Moonlake’ Lyrics (18)

Today is the last day of my ‘chilling out’ from the epub venture so I lost myself in chat for the most of today. So here’s another set of lyrics. It is a song sung together by a male and a female. The title of the song is called “Effective medicine that tastes bitter”. ConsistentContinue reading “Moonlake’ Lyrics (18)”

Triumph of the Short Stories (2)

Okay, I promised a made-up post for forgetting my weekly post a while back. Here it is while I have some news to share.   I have completed a second short story, this time a sole effort, for the epub venture. Okay, technically, it’s only half the completed story but I’m running it as aContinue reading “Triumph of the Short Stories (2)”

Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- December 2015

I think this post is actually due last Sunday but because I was so excited to share the news about short story writing, it gets pushed back. But I’m sure we’re all used to my whims now if you’ve been following me and isn’t a casual passer-by. If you are, this is a series IContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- December 2015”

Triumph of the short story

Firstly, Happy New Year, everyone (While today is not New Year’s Day, this is the post of mine that you are reading this year) This must be the most dramatically titled post of mine so far. This is driven by the fact that I just completed the first short story in my life (technically untrueContinue reading “Triumph of the short story”

Moonlake’s Lyrics (17)

This is another set of lyrics that chimes with my personal life philosophy: there’s no need for fame, I just want to walk my own path. The title of the song is ‘Nameless foot solider’ and it’s actually the theme song of a 1989 HK TV series that I really like- I’ve actually watched itContinue reading “Moonlake’s Lyrics (17)”
