The opening line is from Access Road by Alison Luterman. I don’t know if other people feel this way, feel the way I do. Yeah, that’s what a lot of people expressed, at some time. I don’t particularly feel anything right now. Sure, there is the ebb and flow of emotions. But it’s all underneathContinue reading “I don’t know if other people feel…. “

You can’t have it all but there is this…
The opening line is from You Can’t Have it All by Barbara Ras. It wasn’t a prompt that I took well but I did manage to move into it after the first two paragraphs. I wrote this about one year or two years back. I had been moving away from Wild Writing because to beContinue reading “You can’t have it all but there is this…”
I see the way…
The jump off lines is from Collecting Light by Deb Cooper and this is from a day when I’m not feeling the prompt: I see the way my fingers dip into the trough of hand cream and withdraw while leaving the shape intact. I see the way, or rather feel the way, this pen I’mContinue reading “I see the way…”
Let’s take an inventory of obsessions:
Not sure where the jumping off line (let’s take an inventory of obsessions) is from but it says all about this piece. Let’s take an inventory of obsessions: Chinese lore, I know that’s too broad but hard to refine this. I mean, I’m interested in an assortment of stuff that I group in under it:Continue reading “Let’s take an inventory of obsessions:”
Writing Goals 2025
The broad goal is to get to draft 0.84 which I didn’t get to last year. To be honest, it’s gotten to the point where the delineation between my decimal drafts is pretty arbitrary. I’m incrementing a draft whenever I see significant progress. As to what constitutes as significant, even I don’t have an answerContinue reading “Writing Goals 2025”
Sometimes I lose my way…
This is from Write New Headlines by Andy Stanley. Sometimes I lose my way. Usually in the small things but then that’s usually how it goes. Sometimes I lose my way. More often I stick to known paths. That’s what you do if you’re direction blind. And prudent. Sometimes I lose my way, in time. Continue reading “Sometimes I lose my way…”
Moonlake’s Writing Updates- December 2024
I have to be honest and say that I had to revisit my Writing Goals for 2024 post in order to write this. In short, I did not meet my broad goal at all. I’m still at draft 0.83. In terms of the finer goals, the first is redundant. I had definitely gone past theContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Updates- December 2024 “
I wonder why people never…
The jump-off line is actually invented by Laurie Wagner, inspired by An Ordinary Day by Jean Reinhold. I wonder why people never expect things to go wrong until they do? Inborn optimism or protagonist syndrome? I wonder why people never talk about the failures or think about them even if they are talked about? WhyContinue reading “I wonder why people never…”
Cracking the Omniscient Voice
I have been making some attempts at ‘cracking’ the omniscient voice in that I wanted to try to dip my hands into writing in that voice even though I won’t be using that particular for a long time (the truth is that my WIP has quite a long way to go still but I doContinue reading “Cracking the Omniscient Voice”
Writing updates- Feb 2024
This is now my second round at my male protagonist (the first round was abandoned somewhere in Act 2 when I felt like I haven’t really gotten back into him so I started from scratch) but the truth is I’m so much into my procrastination mood (I’m a bit tired with the reiteration approach thatContinue reading “Writing updates- Feb 2024”
