I've spent the last few days posting on my Bookstagram and plotting out my novel, SC. If I'm going to start over again, I'll make sure it's the last time I do so, at least to this extent. I've tried to make extra sure that each event has a cause and effect, so that one … Continue reading Ending
Books and Writing
January is dangerous. It can make you think about what you've done and what you're going to do, and whether it is enough. Whether you are enough. It can lead you to set goals you struggle to reach, and to compare yourself to others. January puts everything into question. I scrapped about 40k words the … Continue reading Books and Writing
Willow & James
James likes Willow. Willow likes James. There's nothing standing in their way...right? I'm trying something new. Here is the first chapter to a novel. I think I might start posting first chapters to things. I want to write, but I have so many projects it's hard to focus on just one. If a first chapter … Continue reading Willow & James
Making Things Happen
Things have been happening and I've been absent. So much for writing my "two posts a week". Sorry. BUT I have news. Things are happening. The first few posts I ever posted on this blog were to do with acting. I feel like not a lot of people know this about me, but I'm into acting. … Continue reading Making Things Happen
On Top of That
Despite the fact that I've only written a single post since the beginning of this month, people have kept subscribing to my blog. I appreciate the vote of confidence, and I suppose I should start writing again to make your loyalty worthwhile. In case you haven't guessed from the prolonged and unforgivable absence (I have a … Continue reading On Top of That
Graduation Day
Today was the day of my graduation ceremony. I missed it. One hazard of going to university in another country. Here's to the friends I made by accident or by design, in class, commons, and societies, instantly or over time. Here's to the sleepovers, and sleepless library nights. Here's to Winchester, it's Cathedral, and … Continue reading Graduation Day
Sooner or Later
Every so often, I'll have an idea for a story. This has been happening since long before I wrote. The ideas usually come right before bed or as soon as I wake up. I think it's because that's when I'm not busy with everything that normally occupies my mind. Unfortunately, it's been a while since … Continue reading Sooner or Later
S.I.V. 2.0
The first SIV story can be found here, if you’re curious. I wrote this sequel for my Science Fictions & Fantasies class in my last semester of third year. You can compare it to the origin… Source: S.I.V. 2.0
Starting Again
I hope you all had a good weekend! Without work or university and with all my friends already leaving for other cities and countries, I've had to find my own reasons for leaving my room. On Sunday there was the Craft Market, the last one I'll be in town for, so I went to look at … Continue reading Starting Again
Oh, How I’ve Grown
It's awkward posting again after a post like that, but I'm glad you all liked it so much. It's now my most liked post of all time, so thank you. Why do I write? It's bizarre to think back to fourteen-year-old me sitting at my desk one November afternoon and picking up a pen with … Continue reading Oh, How I’ve Grown
