Dear god, I just looked up my resolutions for this year and I swear that I wrote this list more than just a year ago. How can one year feel so long? I truly can’t wrap my head around the fact that Black Panther and Into the Spider-verse (phenomenal movie, by the way) were both released in the… Continue reading 2018 in Review, 2019 Incoming
I did an exercise recently where I wrote poetry as some roleplay characters of mine, and since I really do want to revive this blog, I thought eh, I might as well! 2. There is something I’m forgetting. Little blue stars, rippling in the grass Clustered like children, dancing in the wind What it… Continue reading Poetry in Persona
I always tell myself that I’ll make it through summer vacation focusing on writing, but I always forget that when I am spending summer with my family, writing becomes impossible. It’s just the wrong headspace. However, now I am in the States, independent and settled into my new home, and I’m ready to recommit. At… Continue reading A Return
People always speak of the calm before a storm, as if the storm is inherently unwanted, naturally undesirable. However, I love a good storm.

I decided that it would be a fun exercise to do this with various stories and authors that I’ve grown to love: Angela Carter – “The Bloody Chamber” It’s a small glass bottle filled with liquids… Continue reading Describing Writing Styles 1
I’m really not a fan of how fast time goes by now that I’m older. God, March already… life is so short. I would have assumed I was too young to feel memento mori, but I really feel it bearing down on me. Perhaps it’s all the tragedy in the news – children younger than… Continue reading Update: Getting the Hang of Things
Last November, on one particularly sleep-deprived night, I submitted a short story of mine to a competition. It wasn’t a polished work, and I hadn’t even read it over. I wasn’t entering to try and achieve anything – I was just being sleepy and impulsive. However, to my surprise, I made it to the Quarter-Finals… Continue reading A Little Confidence
So the other day, I had the blessing of quite literally writing myself sick. I had a day to dedicate to writing, and I wrote for eight hours straight until I was in a state of derealization, which is objectively a bad thing, but sometimes I don’t mind. In that state, however, I can’t bring… Continue reading Light Reading
