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”

She feels the river shift…

The jump-off line is from Some Feel Rain by Joanna Klink.  She feels the river shift. She feels the mountain shift. Everything is always moving.  She feels the river shift. She feels time itself shift.  She feels the river shift. It is always shifting.  She feels the river shift. Her childhood shifts and she cannotContinue reading “She feels the river shift…”

Moonlake’s Writing Goals 2024

For those who have followed me for a while, you might have noticed that I have been flagging behind on my WIP. The truth is that I’ve been sidetracked by lots of things: the application for Outschool that I’ve left aside after the initial failed attempt, a proposed trip to Italy, Switzerland and France inContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Goals 2024”

You will meet yourself again…

The jump-off line comes from You Will Be Changed by Jeannette Encinias.  I meet myself again, all these years later. At the core, I’ve never changed. I’m still serious, stubborn and proud. That’s why I liked Pride and Prejudice alone of all the classics I read, Lizzy and Darcy remain one of my favourite couplesContinue reading “You will meet yourself again…”

Moonlake’s Writing Updates- December 2023

This year, I’m approaching the work slightly differently. Instead of always cycling in between my two protagonists, I’ve given my female protagonist two consecutive goes. I’m happy to report that this does let me drill down further into her scenes but progress is still slow overall.  At the time of writing and your reading this,Continue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Updates- December 2023”

This is for… shake the dust…

The line comes from Shake the Dust by Anis Mojgani. I usually like more flowery prose but the line has got some gritty attitude to it that makes it beautiful in some way to me.  This is for the butterflies waiting to emerge from their cocoons, for those likewise trapped in stasis, for those whoContinue reading “This is for… shake the dust…”

It’s all in the frame…

This is based on a blog piece titled It’s all in the frame by Laurie Wagner. I think she said it was a line of dialogue one of her friends said. I’ve actually taken this line quite literally in the piece below where I’ve basically described all the framed photos that are sitting in theContinue reading “It’s all in the frame…”
