I just thought it would be fun to compare myself as a reader and writer. And where better to start than the genre of my main staple in both reading and writing? So here we go. Sub Genre Reader Moonlake: Epic fantasy by hands-down and mainly adult, some YA occasionally. Sword & sorcery as lightContinue reading “Reader vs Writer (1): Elements of the Fantasy Genre”

Catching Up on Disney Movies
I’ve started a minor binge of Disney movies consumption i.e. 3 or 4 movies per week. Why am I doing this? Well, I came to the 3 Act structure late, I only learnt about it through the online courses I did several years ago, before that, I thought the 3 Act structure was just theContinue reading “Catching Up on Disney Movies”
What Moves Me: One Step Away
I’ve been trying to get closer to my emotions- I’m predominantly rational with only a tiny wisp of sentimentality so I’m very hard to be moved to tears or be driven by impulse. Not that I have not ever experienced those things, just that they happen rarely and don’t stay with me for long. AndContinue reading “What Moves Me: One Step Away”
TV and Story Taste
I’ve blogged extensively about my reading taste. I thought today I will do an ‘old wine in new bottle’ trick and turn to my story taste in TV. By TV, I actually mean both TV and movies since I have identical taste in the type of stories I enjoy (plus I’ve always preferred watching aContinue reading “TV and Story Taste”
The Meaning of Happiness
Happiness has a slightly different meaning for everyone. Recently I had this really resonant one that came to me (or rather it was a rediscovery, I think I re-discover things a lot. I’ve recently thought about my core personality and it hadn’t changed from when I was a teenager) so I thought it worthwhile toContinue reading “The Meaning of Happiness”
Moonlake as a person and random life update
Ever since the Corona virus lock-down I’ve been working at home and I have to admit that it’s testing my self-discipline (then again, it’s coinciding with the structural edit on my WIP that I realise I have to do and I have to admit that I’m procrastinating because I dread the amount of work IContinue reading “Moonlake as a person and random life update”
The Chinese influence in my Writing
Aside from the about page, I don’t think I’ve properly introduced myself so let’s do this here up front. I’m a Chinese who migrated to Australia at the age of 12 after I completed primary school. Because I came from Hong Kong, I lean towards modern values (at least in gender roles and such) butContinue reading “The Chinese influence in my Writing”
Gaming and writing
I am someone with selective taste and that extends to the number of genres I read as well as my hobbies. I’ve previously blogged about jigsaw puzzles, I constantly blog about reading and today I’m going to talk about my gaming hobby and how it figures into my writing. Firstly, I do two different typesContinue reading “Gaming and writing”
What my Favourite Characters tell me about Myself
The previous two posts have all been about my writing so I thought I would change the pace a bit by talking about a topic that leans towards the reading side: a reflection of the attributes of my favourite characters and what they show about me. Firstly, I like a female protagonist who isContinue reading “What my Favourite Characters tell me about Myself”
The Short Story and Me (2)
As a change, this week we are skipping author interviews. It will come back next week though. Thought I will do a re-run on this since my stance on it has changed yet again now that I have broken off my association with the epub completely. Previously, I’ve talked about myself as a writer andContinue reading “The Short Story and Me (2)”
