So many plans have unraveled…

The jump-off line comes from Insha’allah by Danusha Lameris.  So many plans have unraveled. In grade 6, when went on our school to the same place we went each year because the only other place we could go were prone to kite accidents where the strings from kites snagged people’s necks, I thought I wouldContinue reading “So many plans have unraveled…”

I would not have been a writer except that… 

The jump off line came from V11 by Wendell Berry. This was a piece from a couple years ago that talked about how I became a writer. It was never my intention back when I was in high school and that’s the lens I presented, at least in the opening paragraphs.  I would not haveContinue reading “I would not have been a writer except that… “

My name is… 

The jump off line is actually from an introduction by Patrick O’Tauma and this is actually written 5 years ago.  My name is Moonlake Ku. I am not born with this name, as a star was born into the sky. Rather, I chose it. I chose as a cloak, to pursue what I love, whatContinue reading “My name is… “

I forgive you, life.

The jump-off line is just “I forgive you”, from Phase One by Dilruba Ahmed. The title is from I am talking to Life as an entity when I wrote this piece.  I forgive you for derailing my plan for a linear life and teaching me that everything is a choice.  I forgive you for notContinue reading “I forgive you, life.”

I didn’t know I enjoy…

The jump-off line is from Things I didn’t know I loved by Nazim Hikmet.  I didn’t know I enjoy stories featuring animals or emphasizing cuteness. I’m not much of an animal or cutesy person but I’m very much empathic. I can dive into others’ passions and what they enjoy, through reading.  I didn’t know IContinue reading “I didn’t know I enjoy…”

What I don’t remember (aka Not…)

The jump-off line comes from What Belongs to Us by Marie Howe. Not the birthday cakes that I once cherry picked for my birthdays. I remember them looking cute or pretty but no exact details. Not the stamp set of animals I once had. Not even my childhood closet- all the princessy dresses I usedContinue reading “What I don’t remember (aka Not…)”

Follow your own Voice

This jump-off line is from Start close in by David Whyte.  Follow your own voice. It calls to you. Listen to it and follow it. But listen carefully. Make sure it’s your own. The mind is a tricky place. Things enter there and get scrambled. You might mistake something as your own, easily. So beContinue reading “Follow your own Voice”

CCC day 31- Thieving Friends (Fate Accelerated) 

For the last day of CCC, I’m really short on the premise so I’m just going to grab a novel idea that is not active, generated by ChatGPT, about two thieves who escaped an executioneer’s wagon and then was cursed to age differently.  Ye (Night) Aspects:  Approaches: Careful+3, Sneaky and Forceful+2, Clever and Quick+1 Stunts:Continue reading “CCC day 31- Thieving Friends (Fate Accelerated) “
