Centuries before Virginia Woolf dreamed of a “room of one’s own,” Li Qingzhao(1084 – ca. 1155) already claimed hers in the Song Dynasty. While most women were bound to the household, she built a library of 4,000 volumes and wrote with a voice both lyrical and defiant. 1/2
#poem
Here is her most famous poem(translated by Jiaosheng Wang): 《如夢令·昨夜雨疏風驟》 昨夜雨疏風驟，濃睡不消殘酒。 試問卷簾人，卻道海棠依舊。 知否，知否？應是綠肥紅瘦。 Late night wind howled with light shower, Still hungover despite my heavy slumber. Ask for shades to be rolled from sill, Was told my HaiTang blossomed still. Oh honey! But don't you know? Tis the season reds ebb and greens flow.

Went through a long mental slump, so I’m gonna try to post more 😭 I stayed away as much as possible from social media and took a break from writing. Now, I think I’m ready to come back.

A fantastic book launch yesterday that was a pleasure to moderate. Now chilling with Posha Shuangshu's book, featuring 10 longish stories and a total of 100 yao. I picked it up in China some years ago, it's been a donghua and being made into a live action Cdrama. I knew I was onto something. #books

Our heroine needs an escape plan. But what’s with the wedding clothes? It turns out that the only people who didn’t know about the plan was the ‘bride’ and ‘groom’ themselves 👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️

Last night, I quickly reviewed how to #write a haiku & ended up writing several romantic #haiku for a visual novel game 😂

Midnight blue strands flow
Ocean eyes of hidden love
Together at last

Ink and watercolour drawings of various invertebrates that I’ve seen in the garden during September. Definitely getting the autumn feeling.

Sometimes, it’s time to let go of the past. In this new chapter, our heroine finds that forging a future can mean saying goodbye to others…or cutting ties.

During the shadow puppet show, our heroine noticed that her friend was behaving strangely. And what gossip did our heroine hear that was upsetting?

While our heroine & her friends are at the festival, Jian Yu starts acting strange. What does ball tossing symbolize? What situation did our heroine get into?

I made some progress, finishing up 1.1 chapters. I love it when I can do a quick reveal before amping up the stakes. Though I'm excited about completing the next chapter, I'm not emotionally ready for the upcoming arc 🥲 I'm not ready for the pain...

Have you ever gotten to the point of a story or book...where you're not excited to write out a particular scene but you need it to transition into a very important one...and now, you've written it out--and you can finally breathe 😮‍💨?
