Excursions from the Citadel- Excerpt from Grey
The peace of the kingdom hung, dark cloud rain The prince sat huge old throne worn crown worn sword always alone no kin no advisors duty as the peace restlessly he fingered throne then crown and sword the dark cloud broke…….. The numbness of the day settled on me. The cold winter morning was punctuatedContinue reading “Excursions from the Citadel- Excerpt from Grey”

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”
Character Sketches (1)
What I’m using to do these character sketches are based on my list of catalyst events and feelings that I had previously shared on this blog.

Live and Let Live (1)
I had delved into the stats on WordPress to find which category of my posts are most popular and Random Writings won by hands down.
