The Closing of a Chapter
Happy New Year! Those of you who have followed my blog for a while would have known that I pulled out of an anthology series before and well, this is the closure post on that. After all, to move forward, we need to close the chapter on some of the stuff from the past holdingContinue reading “The Closing of a Chapter”
Official website for Excursions from the Citadel and closure
I’ve previously mentioned that I’m no longer associated with the publication titled Excursions from the Citadel but for completeness’s sake, I thought I should mention that there’s now an official website for the Excursions: http://www.exftc.com/. It is very unlikely that you have become a fan for this anthology series through this particular blog but on the off chanceContinue reading “Official website for Excursions from the Citadel and closure”
Progress Tracker on Thread (5)
Firstly, I’m back! And I thought I should sum this mini-blog series up before I move onto something else. The short is that I finished the first draft for this project on time or at least I said I finished on time. By this, I mean that I skipped over a chunk of the sectionContinue reading “Progress Tracker on Thread (5)”
Progress Tracker on Thread (4)
I went back to the drawing board this week to plan because it just came up that a loose end from previous chapters of Thread surfaced and I thought I should do something to tie it up. I’m not convinced that I resolved but it did give me an opportunity to further my pre-writing forContinue reading “Progress Tracker on Thread (4)”
Progress Tracker on Thread (3)
This week, I ripped into actual writing, with a limit of 300 words per weekday and 500 per weekend day. The broad writing goal for this week was to get scene 1 and 2 finished (there are 7 scenes in total for this chapter and I’ve written the ending scene already way back when itContinue reading “Progress Tracker on Thread (3)”
Progress Tracker on Thread (2)
Again, I finished my set broad goal for this week ahead by one day! Technically I’m still in planning stage (my pre-writing is just blotting out how events occur in the story on a fine level plus notes to myself about key aspects to watch out for) so it’s to be expected but I’m learningContinue reading “Progress Tracker on Thread (2)”
Progress Tracker on Thread (1)
Progress Tracker on Thread (1) For the very first time, I’m trialling the method of setting an actual date for a solo piece that I’m going to publish as a standalone novella, my story A Thread of Chance of which the first three Chapters have already been published in the first 2 issues of theContinue reading “Progress Tracker on Thread (1)”

It has been out since 31 August. The full title for it is Wizards: Excursions from the Citadel Issue 2. There are more authors that have come on board for this particular issue which is great if you appreciate diversity. I am personally exiting this enterprise as contributing author and the grand finale to my serialContinue reading “Excursions from the Citadel- issue 2 out!”
Moonlake’s Meta Fiction (4)
This is the last bit of meta fiction that I had written for the Citadel. It is part of a collaborative submission I did with MysticMoon for the Kaiju (monster of massive size ala Godzilla style) quest. This whole submission is based off on MysticMoon’s idea of a chimera creature created through scientific means i.e.Continue reading “Moonlake’s Meta Fiction (4)”
