Girly

CW: blood, drugs, death “… And as empress, I must make sure everyone sees a fair and just competition.” These were my words, my face on a massive screen, in front of 1500 people. “That it why the committee has banned a judge tonight.” Aside from me being the empress, and the belief I sharedContinue reading “Girly”

Woes of Derek

I sat in class, knowing full well I was capable of writing even 100 words for a paper due today. All it was was a flash fiction; anything we wanted to write. So I decided to write about writing tips. Derek struggled to find even 50 words to fill the time. As it turned out,Continue reading “Woes of Derek”

Things I Learnt On Hiatus

It’s been a long time, WordPress. I’m sorry that I went on another, but I can’t promise that this behaviour will stop. There’s been a habit of me trying to write more articles and then losing pace immediately, and I clamour to stop that from happening. No, I haven’t stopped writing Twelfth Meridian (now namedContinue reading “Things I Learnt On Hiatus”

I’m Back From Querying – This Is What I Found

How’s it going, everyone. The TL;DR is, I’m frustrated. As you may or may not know, I’m from Australia. This is an important fact which will cover what I’m about to type. What we have is literary agents. Easy found; there’s a Reedsy list. Not what I’m aiming for, but it led me to theContinue reading “I’m Back From Querying – This Is What I Found”

Hiatus Update

Greetings, humans. It’s been a long while on this blog. I’ve been more active on my psychic blog lately and trying new things, so let me give you the rundown on what’s happening. 12M is no longer a novel That’s right. It was too difficult to complete the novel, so I tried a few things,Continue reading “Hiatus Update”

Slowing Down

I feel like I can finally slow down on the flash fiction stuff. I’ve done it for 13 days straight. Today I started to feel the burnout. From now on, I’ll do the stories when I feel like there’s nothing else to do on the day. But in the meantime, I don’t know what toContinue reading “Slowing Down”

Flash Fiction #13: Fire Divining

I watched the bonfire, looking up at the moon to gauge its position in the sky. I knew for sure I wouldn’t sleep tonight, as I never took to tents. We were done toasting marshmallows, and I longed for one more toasty bite. At this point, we went around the fire and told scary stories.Continue reading “Flash Fiction #13: Fire Divining”

Flash Fiction #12: Altar

It was time. The cold feet sunk in, and I waited in the back room, tempted to fix my already styled hair. My husband-to-be waited at the altar. My feet froze further. But it was destiny. Our meeting was an accident. I tripped in a cafe and spilt my matcha latte on his front. WhenContinue reading “Flash Fiction #12: Altar”

Flash Fiction #11: Aftermath

“Are you ready to give up everything to save yourself?” The voice of a stoic stranger rang in my mind. Nothing was working out in my favour, so what was I supposed to answer? “Yes.” In my third eye, towers crumbled, with people buried under their rubble. The people screamed, but were drowned out byContinue reading “Flash Fiction #11: Aftermath”

Flash Fiction #10: The Lions and the Wolves

I had the strangest dream last night, that I was a lion, running in a pack of wolves. I had no fear, and the pack didn’t fear me. But after I woke up for work today, even though I was at home, I had the feeling of missing home. And it nagged me all morning,Continue reading “Flash Fiction #10: The Lions and the Wolves”
