I am a writer. Or, at least, I identify myself as one. And for writers, perhaps reading books is something inseparable to their lives. In fact, I can personally testify that I wouldn’t have known half the joy of my life were it not for reading and discovering great books. I know what people think of us:…
It is no secret by now that my kind of writing sessions had always been long and torturing. Since I have to juggle with my day job and other side projects, I can only focus 100% on writing if I were to write non-stop. And that often translates into 5-7 hours of writing non-stop in…
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.

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…
Disclaimer: this post will feature a lot of pictures, just so you know. I have mentioned in one of my previous blog posts that I wanted to go on a creative writing retreat. Not the fancy residency kind, of course. What I’m talking about is but a short escape somewhere. It should be far enough…
After my bold statement last month on how I was going to participate in NaNoWriMo, you must have been wandering, where have I gone this whole month? (Or maybe you haven’t, but let’s assume that you have.) I am going to answer that question by letting you know where I am right now, as I believe…
With the end of October only a few days away, I really have to work on my NaNoWriMo project outline on my writer’s notebook, which I have rather abandoned last week because I went on a vacation. Problem is—plotting or outlining has never been my strong point. This is especially a big problem when I…
