Firstly, Happy New Year, everyone (While today is not New Year’s Day, this is the post of mine that you are reading this year) This must be the most dramatically titled post of mine so far. This is driven by the fact that I just completed the first short story in my life (technically untrueContinue reading “Triumph of the short story”

Moonlake’s Writing Updates (2)
Okay so I’m back but only to say that I want to extend my leave to end of September. I’ve gone through a couple of false starts but I’ve started on the short story for the epub project that I talked about in the last post and have just passed the 1000 words mark. ThisContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Updates (2)”
Character Sketches (1)
What I’m using to do these character sketches are based on my list of catalyst events and feelings that I had previously shared on this blog. Today’s entry was based on the following prompt: Feeling Composed amidst the Rise of a New Power. What I did was to brainstorm for 5 minutes on this promptContinue reading “Character Sketches (1)”
Live and Let Live (4)
I had found the inspiration to write up one more snippet after all but I think it would be the last. The main reason is that I don’t think it helps me to improve my writer craft since it is some kind of signature feature of my writing that I tend to delve into character’sContinue reading “Live and Let Live (4)”
Live and Let Live (3)
As promised, the belated snippet #3: “What is the ultimate purpose of education? To get a paying job…” Next she’s going to tell me about why the career I’m thinking would not provide me stable pay etc. Every time I wanted to discuss a possible area to head in that I might be interested,Continue reading “Live and Let Live (3)”
Characterisation- Feelings
I’m working tomorrow so my normal Friday post is shifted to today. Today I’m going to share another list I had compiled- feelings. During my novel writing process, my beta reader told me that one of my trademarks is that I delve too much into protagonists’ heads and not enough into their feelings. So duringContinue reading “Characterisation- Feelings”
Live and Let Live (2)
As promised, here’s the second snippet and we’re still following the same mother-daughter pair as last time: “I don’t know why you love mucking around so much, you do it day and night. You are only in the thirties. You’ve got plenty of time to muck around later in life. Your priority now should beContinue reading “Live and Let Live (2)”
Moonlake’s Work pile (3)
Today I’m going to talk about my novel projects which include: The Crunalan Steppes series (World of Zia- 5 books): I have named all 5 of them and was trying my hand at the first- the Return of the White Deer. It is basically historical fantasy (a sub-genre of historical fiction, basically historical fiction+fantasy asContinue reading “Moonlake’s Work pile (3)”
Moonlake’s Work pile (2)
Continuing from where I left off last time, I will be recounting more of the projects on my work pile. They are not listed in any particular order but I will separate them into two groups, one related to my writer home (the Strolen’s Citadel) and the other for novels. In this post, I’m justContinue reading “Moonlake’s Work pile (2)”
Moonlake’s Work pile (1)
Today I’m a little short of time what with doing freelancing work and other errands. Also, I’m recently a little slack in writing ever since my novel stalled although I’ve started to work on a few short writing projects again. Anyway, I know from personal experience that having my writing commitment public somehow gives meContinue reading “Moonlake’s Work pile (1)”
