Six Month!

How I Write

Alternative between Writebox and Google Doc


What I Worked on and Am Working On

I submitted 3 stories on late February since the last monthly update. 1 of them are flash fictions(under 1000 words), 2 are short fictions (About 2500 words) (1 of the flash fiction and 1 of the short fiction were rejected earlier by others and I submitted to another place).


Currently working on a piece that's going to Tor.com, I'm seeing it to well over 10,000 words (Currently around 9,500 words) And will set it dry for about a week or two before revising and editing for final submission.


Currently drafting an idea for the monthly fiction submission to The New Yorker Magazine.


Currently drafting an idea for a flash fiction story.

Why I Write

I write to liberate myself from the world I lived in.

Where I Write

In my own room in front of the Acer C720 Chromebook. 
And other imaginary spaces I conjured upon writing.

Who Motivated Me This Month

Ernest Hemingway, see below


What Am I Reading


Read only three books since the last update because Moby Dick is long and difficult to digest, I still don't think I have got more than one percent from the book, may reread it someday. For more about what I've read, please visit my reading list.

  1. Moby Dick; or, the White Whale by Herman Melville[22/02/2014] 
  2. The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway[26/02/2014] 
  3. A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway[02/03/2014]
Currently reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Just started so, yeah, looking forward to finish it in the coming week. And since it's quite a short read (Kindle estimated it be about 3 hours based on my reading speed), I guess I'll be jumping on the The Casual Vacancy by J. K. Rowling for this week as well, as part of the weekly reading goal.
P.S. : Ernest Hemingway totally rocks, he maybe drunk, but he's not your typical drunkard.



Am I studying

Obviously YES.
I am currently enrolled into 1 MOOC(Massive Open Online Course) provided byedX, and I believe much more to come this year.

Jazz Appreciation

I've also picked up a new language to master this year and is currently advancing my German on Duolingo!
Auf Wiedersehen

Some more courses coming in January 2014.
Continue

It has been a fruitful sixth month, I've written roughly 20,000 words.

~17000 words short fictions, ~3000 words blog and other writings.


And you may expect to see some clip art for some of my previous ideas and concept from a friend of my who might just give it a try, but again, no promise.
