Hiroki Kikuta: Meridian Child
One listen. Felt myself running short early on so I consciously switched where I was going, and I think doing so worked. Hiroki Kikuta’s (菊田 裕樹) “Meridian Child” is from Seiken Densetsu 3 Original Sound Version, the soundtrack for Seiken Densetsu … Continue reading

One Thousand Word Challenge 227: It’s fantasy, this one
So I’m looking at this particular draft and the note on it is “It’s fantasy, this one”, and for a moment I wasn’t sure what that meant. I had to think about it because that doesn’t say much. It doesn’t … Continue reading
Hiroki Kikuta: Powell
One listen. Went in, wrote the below. Surprising. Anyway, I wanted to try and build imagery as strongly as I could, but that didn’t work well. I started thinking too much about what it was that I was writing and … Continue reading

Hiroki Kikuta: Ordinary People

Two Thousand Words in Twenty Minutes: Again, Why?

Little Piece of Cloth
I was trying to do a scramble of writing two thousand words in under twenty minutes and this came from it. I was slowing down a bit, then picked back up, but (even though this is an absolute mess), once … Continue reading
One Thousand Word Challenge 226: Burning Out Harder
Why am I doing this to myself? Why am I about to do what I am about to do? I’m going to see if I can get quite a lot of words out today. This is not a good idea. … Continue reading
Ayako Saso: The Forgotten Village
One listen. I think I could’ve said a lot more about atmosphere and painted a strong image. Didn’t, which is okay. Just could’ve done more. Ayako Saso’s (佐宗 綾子) “The Forgotten Village” (“忘れられた村”) is from the soundtrack for Folklore (aka Folks Soul … Continue reading

Shadowed Sight
