About Me

Recently, myself and Dour started a studio. Check it out here...

"there's no hell when you die, so don't look so worried."

in my attempt to keep my sanity intact while learn how to be creative and write, i've decided to write at least 1000 words a day. it'll be fictional and writing without prior planning. i'll post it in a blog each night in hope that it'll motivate me to keep it up. i can't be seen as lazy!

He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread upon my dreams

-W.B. Yeats

TUESDAYS WORDS 2!

View from a plane on the fifth of November. Fireworks. Colours reach up from the ground like a flower bed in summer, stuck in fast motion. Reaching up, attempting to grab the underside of the plane. A...
