If you are a writer, you might have heard of the term “writing rituals”. A writing rituals, as the name suggest, is a set of activities that writers perform before actually doing some writing sessions, in hopes that it will get them into this so-called “writing mode”. There are a lot of theories discussing…
Before I start, huge shoutout to Yarii and her extraordinary guest post last week. Yes, I am clearly inspired by her guest post when I was writing the title of this post. One of the most popular—if not THE most popular—writing advice out there is write every day. The idea behind this advice is simple: writing…
It is no secret that my productivity comes in waves, and an irregular one at that. Sometimes, it even bothered me enough that I had to organize a writing retreat in order to get back to writing. However, I have to say that my experience in writing Unspoken Words was quite peculiar. If you have…
Depending on when you are reading this post, it might be 2018 already.

If you have been following me on Twitter, you might have already known that I recently purchased a Midori style traveler’s notebook from a local leather craftsman. If you’re not familiar with the concept, Midori Traveler’s Notebook is basically a notebook setup that consists of a slab of leather with several elastics on the spine…
If the banner above hasn’t given away what I’m about to write in this post, then let me clarify it for you: Yes, I am participating in NaNoWriMo 2017. This shouldn’t be very surprising, since I have talked about how I wrote my debut novel, 3 (Tiga) as a NaNoWriMo project. In case you didn’t…
