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…”

Words on my Mind
Wish you Happiness. Thanks for the roads you walked along with me.
The Character based Approach to Story: Moonlake’s Take
The character based approach to story is basically the idea that the character is your story so all you have to do is basically really really inhabit your main character and you are done (if you are writing third person limited or first person. Arguably, it’s useful in omniscient too but there you have toContinue reading “The Character based Approach to Story: Moonlake’s Take”
A self-reflection on Youth
This is a piece prompted by a song that I’ve searched out to listen to the day before yesterday on Saturday. It’s a Mandarin song and my rough translation of the song title is “Betrayed Youth” even though a more correct one would be “the Youth we Turned our Backs on”, which seems too muchContinue reading “A self-reflection on Youth”
Competition between Reading and Writing Fantasy
Let me preface this post about the following context of my reading which might or might not be new to those of you who subscribe to my blog: my foray into fantasy dated all the way back in the period before sub-genres were a thing.

Yet, learning that I couldn’t and wouldn’t was important. Learning about choice was important. I’m worse than I thought and also better. There was alwaysContinue reading “I’m worse than I thought and also better”
Why I’m here…
The jump-off line is just the title of the poem Why I’m Here by Jacqueline Berger. And the whole piece is just a response to the line. Because of the year 1997, when Hong Kong passed back into the hands of China. A mother decided to take her daughter away before that happened. Because myContinue reading “Why I’m here…”
