A Saline Tale of the Sea
At one point in time, there lived a young foolhardy prince, who spent his days on wild adventures and not enough on studying to become the heir of his kingdom.
The year he became twenty years old, his father the king, decided he had had enough of his son's nonsense and was determined to thrust upon him the maturity which was expected of his standing and age.
Now the king was a widowed man who had always treasured the memories of his wife, a woman that had been of great prudence and logic, and determining that wisdom was a quality his child lacked, concluded that what he needed was a woman with common sense.
On that account, the king ca
Every year, around the warm summer months, the small town of Lacrimagna shut their city gates and begin to prepare for the week of Starfall.
Household tasks are split between families, blankets and bedding are brought out of the closets, neighbors put out signs of their daylight napping hours; as the usual furor of summer activity is dimmed to such a silence that it could be assumed we have transformed into a ghost town.
In reality, we ready ourselves for dusk, when we awake to the birth of the event, the nights that the stars fall.
Tonight is supposed to be the lightest shower of the week, but still my Mother insists I grab my umbrella

The Adagio State of Love
She hated him.
Despite what was said, he was quite convinced of this statement.
The cold glares he received from their encounters, the slack hold of her hand when he held hers, and her stiff manner of drawing near could only be described as pure and utter loathing. She would not speak freely, only opening her mouth to ask essential questions and for food to pass through.
Normally such behavior would irritate him, but he couldn't deny he wouldn't do the same in her place.
To be wrenched from his home and taken halfway across the world to a foreign country and in the care of a seemingly morose, elderly grouch would place anyone under a sour mo

I'm not sure if that title makes sense, actually, now that I think about it... but let's pretend that it does.
Holy. Shit.
That's my mood setting right now, just, holy shit.
This past Monday was a bit of a rollercoaster ride. This starting Tuesday is appearing to be quite similar. But that's okay, actually it may even be great. It got me (us, even) here, now didn't it? That's always good. (because really, how long was I gone for?? And do we count the small visits? Hmm, I'm not sure either.)
I did something called a "Relievement Exercise" on Monday (I guess it is a word, weird little red squiggly! If it's not, let's just pretend some mor

Plot Twist! exercise
Remember that dull book you read? Ever felt like your story needs jazzing up? Not sure how to add some spice? This is beginning to sound like cookery.
Well, we all know what I'm talking about! Everyone loves a plot twist, when the tale takes a surprising turn...
As exciting and dynamic as they are though, they can be difficult to pull off. Be careful not to make the reader feel cheated, or make the twist seem too far-fetched and unrealistic. How do I get around that? Well, sprinkle your story with little hints and signposts, so the reader goes, "ahh!" instead of "arrggh!"
If you're struggling to figure out a good twist for your story, take

Let's start that DA's helpdesk is actually... not so helpful at all.
My ticket more or less came back with a generic response. The so called bug is apparently already known for a for a full month and with that message my helpdesk ticket was closed :')
As for now I've got some good stuff coming. Both articles (journals) and art. But it seems to make little sense to post them if half of the watchers doesn't even get notified (it basically feels like they fell off the face of earth), and the other half gets the notification with a 3 hour to 2 days delay. Not to mention that I stare at a blank page half of the time, because of the bugs. So I gu
Behind this screen resides a girl. A girl with the skin of an oak tree, of tangled hair balancing between the deepest brown and black. A girl with her head stuck in the clouds, and her heart entrapped within the books she reads and the characters she loves. A girl who hides behind metaphors and stories slowly being written. A songbird with a melody stuck in her throat. Yet she clings to the hope that someday, she will sing.
This the place where I let my thoughts run free, without worry and without care. I strive forward in my seemingly impossible dreams with a heart full of hope. I'm unorganized, spontaneous, and a little bipolar :)

So, long time no see, huh? ^^;
I'm finally done with this school year, and honestly, I'm relieved. It's been tough, (though I don't think I should complain, as I'm sure others' has been worse) and to be rid of the mental and physical exhaustion is comforting :faint:
Due to my writing hiatus, I've been holing myself away researching ideas and references and I've come to the conclusion that I need to practice my writing ability before I hope to actually start on my own original stories.
I've decided to take on ~KayleeRydder (https://www.deviantart.com/kayleerydder)'s idea of writing st
Hello fellow deviants!
Just to make myself clear, I don't mean my title in a literal sense ^^; (But I HAVE figuratively fallen asleep here on dA.)
I think it's time to rub my eyes free from winter's sleep and start to strive ahead towards summer! :D
I'm sorry I've been away for so long; but I had been suffering from some anxiety, school, stress in general and I just didn't have the energy to pursue my writing. :(
But I'm really happy to say that the writer's block is slowly dissuading away, and that I'm feeling a bit more confident
I hope you all have been doing well and wish me luck to keep this positivity flowing!
I am sorry it is late but HAPPY Birthday! ( I was not able to do it ;__; )
We hope you had an awesome day with lots of birthday fun, gifts, happiness and most definitely, lots of cake! Here's to another year! Many well wishes and love from your friendly birthdays team ---
