Yeah, my family has some Chinese in us haha.  At least, on my dad’s side there is.  I’m mostly Taiwanese, but 21 generations ago, my dad’s family came to Taiwan from China haha.

I was raised for a few years speaking Mandarin, but I was switched onto English once I started preschool.  By now, I’ve forgotten most of my Mandarin; but I can at least understand most of it when I hear it being spoken.  Currently, I’m learning Latin as…[Read more]

Interesting!  The extent of my Japanese skills mainly comes from watching all the old Godzilla movies haha, and not much else.  French is a beautiful language though.  I want to learn it someday.  But it’s Latin for now. 😉

To be fair though, I did buy “A Writer’s Guide to Weapons” by Benjamin Sobieck, so like, I’m practically an expert on guns now if I do say so myself. 😉  There’s nothing in the book about chainsaw-crossbows though.

Although the reason it’s speculative fiction is probably more because “IT’S ANOTHER WOOORRRLD” is easier than doing your research ahha.  If so, then I’m guilty.

Honestly, I’ll write whatever’s on my mind at the moment.  I’m a very visually-orientated person though, so whatever I write, it tends to have complicated action scenes.  Not necessarily fighting, but lots of…[Read more]

Haha, that’s cool.  I’m guessing NaNoWrimo?  That’s the one I spend the most time on.  Very smart of you to stay secret — I’ve been reading a lot of stalker horror stories lately.

When I was a child,
I ate dust.

Face upon the floor,
I saw nothing.

Hours would go by,
I couldn’t get up
Pushing.

–

Years later
I remained.

Far from home
It stayed the same.

I found myself
In heavy shadow,
Thinking.

My mind goes back,
Remembering.

I see no sky,
I have no eyes.

Those are terrible haha, but I give myself a B+ for thinking on my feet.

I guess, in my way, it’s like getting the name of some really interesting person.  You know there’s a story to be had–a tale behind them–but you have to find them first.  All you have is the name.

At least, that’s how I like to think about it.  @ashira
