Five-Hundred Word Challenge 1523: Café Writer
There’s an audible stillness in the air, or at least there was. Music has just started. But what do I mean by audible stillness? Other than there being no music playing, the sound of rain falling, the hum of kitchen … Continue reading
To Ruined Castle and Back
This bit of writing is something Ewe and I did in 2014, that I later used in my first NaNoWriMo participation back in 2017. Life experience and all that. I’ve tried to compress it quite a bit and keep editing … Continue reading
In Sunset’s Shadow
Another of this tree, though with more space and more of an atmospheric and perhaps sad feeling. I like photos like this and I think it is in part due to the minimalism and in part due to the weight … Continue reading

Scorn: The Only Place
I’d been meaning to write this review since shortly after the album came out but things happened. Last week I finally got around to listening to the album and just published it which is the quickest I’ve finished a review … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: Trail of Blood

Tsukasa Saitoh: Ambiguity
I’d not heard this song until last night but it was only a small snippet. Decided I’d try having a go at writing about it due to the unfamiliarity. The below is from one listen and I feel I got … Continue reading

Dirge: Alma
One listen for this one. I kind of took my time and didn’t try to focus on one particular thing. I could’ve written a lot more, but I didn’t and instead wrote slowly, which I feel worked better here. Dirge’s … Continue reading
The God Machine: The Hunter
Another one that was one listen. This one was quite difficult. I tried writing it earlier today but had a lot of trouble getting started and so I stopped (though the stopping was also due to needing to head out). … Continue reading

Junya Nakano: Signs
This was written over one listen. I was trying to express the beauty of this song but I don’t think I pulled it off. I feel I focused too much on getting to certain words rather than write something that … Continue reading

Gore Tech: Part I: Vibex Divide
This was written over one listen. I restarted the opening seconds a few times to work out what the opening sound was, but other than that this was mostly pretty straightforward to write. I don’t think I switched off enough, … Continue reading
