Writing Exercise 063

Today is my birthday. :D
Terefore this week's writing exercise is a little birthday poem. Enjoy while I'm off celebrating. ;)

2017/02/24 – birthday poem

Once again a year has gone by, once again time was on the fly.

I am twenty-nine; no need to cry. It is time to stop being shy.

This year my ambitions are high and although you might wonder why,

My inspiration doesn't run dry. I sense my time is almost nigh;

My writing skills I will apply to achieve my goals – I will try!

Travel plans

As of next week I'm on holiday in Japan. :D
So for two weeks there won't be any updates. But don't worry. I'll be back with a lot of impressions and maybe inspiration to make up for the time lost.

And I won't leave you without a little something I drew and coloured with SAI. So here I am, ready for travel. :D

Writing Exercise 062

This week I have a drabble for you. It is about something of great importance to our lives, something which most of you might say you didn't have enough of. I'm talking about time.
So here are my thoughts:

2017/02/16 – time (Drabble)

Have you ever thought about the nature of time? How come we measure things in seconds, hours, days, and yet when we want to attain it, it slips through our fingers like grains of sand. When it comes to the things we want to do we often say: “I don't have time for that.” Which is sad. Our lives are just so long. Why not make them worthwhile? Let's break the fourth dimension and bend it to our will. Let's actually have time. For our family and friends, for the things we love and want, for the really important ones.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I wish you all a happy Valentine's Day! <3
I hope you can spend some time with your loved ones, or at least be with them in spirit as your hearts reach out to them. :D

Today I want to share some fanart of the character I play in the browser game Naruto Online. She is a water/healing Jutsu user, which can be a life saver in this game. Again I used SAI to create this fanart. Alas, I was a little lazy regarding the coloration.
Bear with me, my mind was with my beloved fiance. XD

Writing Exercise 061

I'm pretty late for my writing exercise this week. Still I managed to do a little something. This time it's a Haiku. Enjoy!

2017/02/11 – Haiku

Snow flakes in the wind

How I wish for winter's end!

The first snow drops bloom

Royal Democrat

Following my latest writing exercise I want to show you a picture I drew with SAI. It shows a character from my dear Neverbeen Universe, the Waterfairy Kershak. He used to be a prince, but -- as you very well know by now -- he is appointed as chancellor of the newly founded Republic of the United Fairypeople.

Writing Exercise 060

This week I had to write a political speech. Sounds boring? You might never know. ;)
I set this thing in my dear Neverbeen Universe. Those who have read my short stories may know more about the person holding this speech.
But enough of a foreword. Here is my writing exercise:

2017/02/01 – political speech

Kadoma took a step forward and onto the balcony of Yponerotis palace. He breathed deeply, then the mighty Waterfairy let his voice carry through the water droplets in the air so everybody gathered below might hear him.

“People of the United Kingdom of Waterfairies and Thunderfairies,” he began, “King Kaikou Fuka Valtameri Shibuki di Kuningas, my father, is dead. According to the law the heritage to the throne befalls on his eldest son...me, crown prince Kadoma Valtameri Hidaki Etevà Suji di Kuningas, henceforth king. King Kaikou was a symbol for the old values, for traditions which had had a formative influence on this nation for thousands of years. Panta rei. Everything flows. This heraldic motto of my family stands for the whole people of this country. Water always finds its way. And just like water I will show this country new ways, now that after millennia of war we made peace with the Firefairies. This country is ready for peace, ready for a new generation of rulers.”

He waited for the cheers to subside.

“And my first official act as king is: I abdicate.” Shocked silence. “I abdicate and appoint my brother, prince Kershak Hellir Hikyuu Ólgusjór Shibuki di Kuningas as first interim-chancellor of the new parliamentary-democratic Republic of the United Fairypeople. In the following four years he will prepare this country legally for the very first free elections and officiate as head of government.”

Nobody had expected this surprise, not even Kershak himself as he watched Kadoma take off his crown and leave the balcony. But leave it to Kadoma to shock a whole nation.
