Translations

There are about 7000 living languages in the world. (Ethnologue) We come upon texts that have been originally written in a language other than our own all the time: manuals, articles, papers, songs, movies, TV shows, books, etc. Personally, I try to read or listen to the original version, emphasis on ‘try’, seeing the sheer number of possible languages. It means I have to rely on translations. My question for readers: Do you prefer an as verbatim as possible translation over an in

Synth of The Week #1-Dust by M.O.O.N

Hey Knights, during this interesting time in our lives I'm sure many of us have turned to music to help cope. I in particular fancy synth as one of my favorite genres of the medium so to kick off a little series I want to start (And to give this blog some love .___.), I thought I'd share one of my all time favorites. It's mellow, but has a slight moment where the tempo picks up, nevertheless I turn to this track for both uncertain and dark times, and for times where I just wanna relax and let th

New Cover!

I hope everyone's having a nice weekend. It's been beautiful today, so I made sure to get out for some social distancing-approved fresh air. I've also been working on the next Syndicate chapter. This one was originally written during a NaNoWriMo sprint and hoo boy, does it show. A lot of repeated words and weak adjectives. There's also been some story changes along the way, so I made sure to account for those as well. Hopefully, that will be posted tonight!  I post this story on a couple ot

Wildenberg’s Blog

Hello There.

(It’s important that you read the title of this blog post like Obi-Wan Kenobi) I’ve been debating whether starting a writing blog was a worthwhile endeavor. On one hand, I think it could be a fulfilling way to share some different aspects on the stuff I’m writing. On the other, perhaps it’s just another hobby that fizzles out the instant life gets busy.  Why write this when I should be finishing the book, you know?  Being back on this site has been pretty nice so far.

Weekly Wrap Up (Apr. 12 - Apr. 18)

Soooo, The other night I woke up with my pillow on the side of my face and I had hair in my mouth and in my nose  I've never had a beard for more than a week before in my life, but I let it grow out over the past 5 weeks. The unibomber had nothing on me  And the eyebrow,s even Albert Einstein would be jealous  So enough was enough and woke up today and got out the cordless waterproof clippers and got rid of the damn beard! Next, got out the actual hairdresser clippers and started to use a #

Escaping for just a little while

Things that make me go hmmmmm..

I guess my mind  works differently from a lot of people. Everyday I come across things that make me tilt my head like a German Shepherd and go hmmmm...  (Or in many cases WTF?) I don't  understand why people are wearing masks and gloves while driving alone in a car. Hmm.... I don't understand why when you answer your work phone 'Thank you for calling XYZ, how may I help you' and you hear "Is this XYZ?" Hmm... I don't understand why you post notices all over the place that you

Featured Author: Myr

Well, usually it would be a single story review for our feature today. But, we thought it might be nice to turn the focus onto our fearless leader. With that in mind, we visited Myr's stories and picked some of the various comments from readers to highlight the many stories that Myr has on site. Myr specializes in short stories in the fantasy and sci-fi genres. He generally leaves his readers begging for more, probably because most of his spare time is spent on improving GA and dealing with tech

Weekly Wrap Up (Apr. 5 - Apr. 11)

Has the past month flown by for you too?  It seems like only a little while ago that we were being told to baton down the hatches and start practicing physical distancing. Work days blend into supposedly days off and daily chores and tasks are being done more. As even one member commented, her Dad was washing walls, walls!!!! I see the blogs are starting to really take off. Interesting reading how so many people are dealing with the times as well as their thoughts on it too. Some of your status

I Am Jonas (And What It Was Like in the 90's)

Have you watched a movie so palpable, it feels like you were flipping through a dust-covered photo album?  I Am Jonas is like that for me. This is going to be a heart-tormenting blog entry.  As a proper COVID-19 warning, you might want to social distancing yourself from it if you are not emotionally fortified at the moment.  I need to get it out though.  Stuck in the 9th Hell is too much grinding (yes, I am going to sprinkle comic reliefs throughout the blog).  This blog is not going anywhe

COVID-19 - my inner struggle and what i've done about it

So, i have been home since March 16, 2020. I think working from home, really brought home to me really how serious this virus is. Yes, i'd read about it and all the deaths in China. Read about people trying to get back to Canada and people stuck on cruise ships. But the Bank doing this huge about face and letting us work from home, really made it real. The first few weeks i really struggled. i felt lost and afraid. i could feel it in my back and shoulders, in my chest. It felt like som
