Writing + Art?

 I'm thinking about learning how to write creatively. I've always considered myself good at language, even though I use surface language for most of the writing I do. I have made a post describing how I struggle with emotional self-expression, so I see this as a way to improve my expression on paper. I've already planned out a few character names with their descriptions and everything. The only thing holding me back is the quality of writing I will be presenting, especially the flow of the story. I don't really like the idea of not being able to write this story without having the best writing skill I possibly could possess, but we've got to start somewhere, don't we?

I'm not the type to give out spoilers or trailers, so here are just the MC's names:


Yes. It's fantasy. Like your average twilight fantasy novel, but this is going to be more like a web novel or a wattpad story. There are realms, gods (called aspects) and romance involved in the story. Sorry, but the romance part is probably the part I am most excited about. Three of them are within the LGBTQ+ and their personalities are super cliché. They'll still have specific traits that will make them more realistic as characters.

I'm not sure if I'd be able to do it, but I was going to try and illustrate them as well. But the possibility is very close to 0%. Drawing people is harder than drawing landscapes or even animals. It's something I still need to practice. The bottom two characters in the list have very specific body traits, which makes them extra hard to illustrate. I could draw them from reference images, but it'll still take time.

I can't wait to flesh out the first part of this story so I can get to the next part. The writing part is going to be hard, but I'm going to take my time making it the way I want it to be.

The preternatural's blend-in with "normalcy"

Imagine every person you know started their day off with a personalized version of the LBRP ritual and went to coven meetings ? The unrealized normality of "magic" is often underrated and overlooked. When my mind starts wandering into the theory of magical practice, I do think it definitely doesn't seem as everyday as most things, but could definitely be at further inspection. The general symbolism and near-superstition we attach to the mundane everyday routine is what, I assume, contributes to our reassurance that whatever we've done is done right the first time. Note that dictionary definitions for mundane such as "banal" or "unimaginative" could suggest boringness, but I'm sure most people would agree that an unimaginative get-together is still something that could be enjoyed if conversation– which I also consider quotidian – is satisfactory. Hence 'being satisfied' and the sense of enjoyment could still be present alongside our eve...

My favourite topics within Physics.

Ever since I was a first grader I had a deep interest in Astronomy. During grade 3 I had started developing an interest in Chemistry. I enjoyed reading about these topics, because they are straight forward topics and not too ambiguous. And yes, science can become ambiguous, such as some of the stuff in quantum mechanics. So, in this post, I've decided to compile a list of things in Physics that interest me most. Just so you know, Einstein and Hawking really were the OG's. 1. Black Holes Credit: EHT Collaboration When I learned about black holes in grade 2, you could say I entered some sort of existential crisis. I was so scared about the fact that our milky way had a black hole in the middle of it that I had my mother assure me that we wouldn't be swallowed by it. These days, as I read more and more about the topic, I just get more and more perplexed by how complex our universe is, and what this extreme body does to it. For a basic overview, a black hole is a body that form...

A dream about my grandmother

I just had a dream about my grandmother. Well, I actually had quite a few dreams about her before waking up, but the last one was really impactful. I was walking in church looking for a place to sit and found an open space, but people sitting in that space told me it's reserved for their family, so I had to get up and find someplace else to sit. I walked around and saw my grandmother sitting next to an open space. She saw me and immediately invited me to sit next to her. For the first time I experienced the feeling of deep wistfulness and longing, as the feeling I got when I saw her is comforting. I walked up to the open space and she said: "You've forgotten about me, haven't you?", looking visibly upset. The space she kept open was just big enough for me to sit down comfortably, as if she's been waiting for me all this time. I embraced her tightly and warmly, wondering if the break she took from our household has made her a bit stronger. During her last days ...
