NaNoWriMo Notes: Characters
Characters are the core of the story. Without them, you really don’t have much of a story or really anything to write. It’s why I take a lot of care in my character building. I want to understand the character the best I can before I start the story itself. Once I know my characters,… Continue reading

A Quest
Planning a quest for me. It starts here, at this desk, where my fingers tap keys. A quest unlike most games, where you seek a person, an item, a theme. No, my quest is myself. First, I’ll dismantle me. Rearrange and step back, to see it all — good or bad, murky or clear. Those… Continue reading

Revelations
Arms held out, one foot in front of the other, I balance on a wire, high above the ground. A breeze brushes my curls from my eyes, the smell of pine teasing my nostrils. Where do I walk? The canyon below is long, the river a crushing, raging roar that echoes back and forth across… Continue reading

Expressing oneself
This month has not been kind, but I have persevered. My writing hasn’t suffered too much despite everything, which is a relief. I tried hard to write no matter what or how I felt. Pushing through the hard times often feels like I’m walking on a heavier gravity planet, where the effort to lift my… Continue reading

I take this moment to present: Quark
He is captivated by the window. Birds, the rumbling of car engines, and all those fascinating sights and sounds capture his attention. What thoughts traverse his mind at this moment in time? Dare to guess anyone? Continue reading

Reshaping Reality
Since this is a new year, I decided to reshape the face of my blog. Give it a new feel, a new design, and update it for better features. Hence my new look will be quite a bit more colorful than the previous design. For this new year, I’ve made some goals: Finish two novels.… Continue reading
