“Bowstring”
Taut bowstring sinews do quell the violence
Holding back the swings of Hulk’s blind madness
As the body quakes, raging in silence Continue reading “Villanelle – Aggression – SD”

Haiku Sunday NaNo Edition: The Keeper
“The Keeper”
Silently he soars,
A great owl shining like moonlight.
The Keeper sees all.
Author’s Note: Fa’aldenel is an ethereal being charged with watching over Everfeld, maintaining balance in his realm. He takes the form of a great silver-white owl that seems to disappear into thin air as he flies. The people of Everfeld (Feldings), revere owls as near-sacred birds, as well as adept hunters. Thus, many Felding families and boroughs take the owl as their sigil, and bow hunting and archery are celebrated as great skills for Feldings. Whether or not the tales of Fa’aldenel are real… well, that’s up for interpretation.

Story Milestone: 50,000 Words Total, 2:53pm ET
Guess what guys??? I’ve just now hit what should have been the word count total from NaNo 2014! Whew! Big moment. I’d like to thank the Academy for recognizing my genius, and Netflix for helping me put off this occasion for an entire year!
…
Welp, back to writing. I have about 1,000 words to go to hit 10,000 for NaNo 2015.

NaNo Update – War of the Words!
Day 4 of NaNoWriMo: I haven’t had contact with the outside world in over 72 hours…
Psych. But seriously, I have spent a hell of a lot of time on my laptop recently. (Also, when was the last time you heard someone use “psych”? It’s sooo 1999.) Continue reading “NaNo Update – War of the Words!”
Haiku Sunday NaNo Edition! – Everfeld
“Everfeld”
Lone pine on the hill
Called out and became many-
Ever may they stand.
Author’s Note: Everfeld is a great coniferous forest in the northern region of Úr’Dan (pronounced oor-DAHN), spanning some thousands of square miles. This is also the main setting for the story of Jaed and Aston.

Prepare for Battle: NaNo is Almost Here / Programming Alert!
Yes, NaNoWriMo is set to begin at 12am tonight. Will I be waiting at my desk at 11:59:59pm, fingers prone over my keyboard to begin furiously typing at the stroke of midnight? Nope. I’ll likely be at a Halloween party. Continue reading “Prepare for Battle: NaNo is Almost Here / Programming Alert!”
Cinquain Triplet – Eye of a hurricane, fair/festival, sailor – SD
“Eye’s Fair Dance”
Winds and white foam soften, be still!
A honeyed melody drifts through the air.
Golden hues settle, like candlelight’s glow. Continue reading “Cinquain Triplet – Eye of a hurricane, fair/festival, sailor – SD”
Haiku Sunday – Light
“Light”
Portals of sunlight
Flare against fluorescent drones
And still are outshined

Quick Rip: I have found my musical home, and it is called Folk Metal
I’ve been on a metal kick recently. I have never been terribly familiar with metal as a musical genre. The only metal band I could reasonably describe myself as a fan of is System of a Down. A while ago, I had been interested in finding other music like System of a Down, but I quickly learned that S.O.A.D. is entirely unique in their own right.

“Quill”
Before you bled ink,
What messages did you bring,
Soaring free on wings?
