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”

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”
The Dangers of Monopoly
I’m not talking about the game, but guaranteed that has ended friendships. But we’ve seen it all by now. Something gets popular, then companies want to milk it for all it’s worth, then the series becomes unrecognisable. Lost, The Simpsons, Happy Days, to name a few. One problem is knowing when to stop. A storyContinue reading “The Dangers of Monopoly”
10,000 Words Reached
It’s taken months and a whole rewrite to get to this point. But this time, I’ve actually expanded on the narrative so that the first three chapters make up 10,000 words so far. The 2,000 word routine is quite useful, but today till tonight before dinner was ready, I found myself struggling in the thirdContinue reading “10,000 Words Reached”
Pinch & Punch
First day of the month! Sorry for the long hiatus, as I’ve been practising my writing routine. I am still writing 2000 words a day, and I’m finally able to keep up with it without losing my breath. I’m rewriting 12M in LibreOffice, and while I was at it, I branched out into other stories,Continue reading “Pinch & Punch”
Challenging Myself
It’s Invasion Day and I completely forgot about it. I hope everyone has a good, safe day. Stay cool. Anyway, remember how I said I thought 2000 words would be too hard? Well, my husband challenged me to do it the other day. As a joke, of course, but those little jokes always turn outContinue reading “Challenging Myself”
I Wrote 1000 Words Yesterday
What a stunning feat. This may become a new habit for me, if I’m gonna be full-time. From what I’ve heard, Stephen King writes this way too. I’m not up for the whole experience, but it’s worth looking into. Is there more to the regime. Also, Target’s closing down, so books were as cheap asContinue reading “I Wrote 1000 Words Yesterday”
Underwriting
If there’s anything I learnt about myself in 2020, it’s the fact that I’m an underwriter. After publishing my first book, I felt lost, and for those few days I hated 12M’s rough draft. Why? New ideas came to mind, and rewriting old scenes felt like a chore. That was, until I reminded myself: It’sContinue reading “Underwriting”
I Broke A Rule
While writing Twelfth Meridian, I’ve given myself a set of rules. One is avoiding overused jokes and letting the jokes come organically, and another is not basing chapters on music. Keep Hyong as the second main, and make sure she’s not overshadowed by other characters. What did I do? Overshadow her for one chapter. ThisContinue reading “I Broke A Rule”
Feeling Lost
12M is calling me like you wouldn’t believe, but this is one of those days where I don’t know what to do. I may have to start up some backstory regarding a certain character? The problem is, I see the image, but it’s hard to put it in words, and I worry too much aboutContinue reading “Feeling Lost”
