Hello everyone! After a long hiatus, I decided to go back to blogging. There are so many reasons I’m doing this, but one of them is simply to keep sharing my thoughts on this platform, because it’s fun, it’s good practice, and I’ve missed all of this so much.Read More »
Hello hello hello! It’s been a while, it truly has BUT, as part of a personal motivational journey, I think it’s important that I make this post. If you don’t care about bureaucratic trivialities, then feel free to directly skip to the second part.
“They plinged off the heads of the struggling Akielons and caused no real harm, but contributed to the general confusion.” It’s rare for a single sentence in a novel to embrace and describe a character’s entire personality. Especially if we’re talking about a complex, well-rounded and layered character. But I think, the reason I keep […]
I’m two posts late for this but, well, hi. There is a perfectly logical explanation as to why this post is late. Three of them actually.
Number 1
I am awkward. Incredibly so. It would be more appropriate to say that it’s because of my social anxiety, but I was so eager to rush into this that I completely bypassed the ‘first post’ step.
Number 2
This blog is actually the 2.0 of another blog. The original “Just the Howling of the Wind” was a tumblr blog where I would post all my stories and fanfictions, plus fic ideas, headcanons, quotes about writing, and character analysis.
I’ve always wanted to have a ‘proper’ blog though, so I finally made up my mind and just moved the blog here on wordpress. Only the concept though: I am not going to move old posts from Tumblr here, we’re starting anew! If you are curious, this is my old blog.
Number 3
Have you ever felt a story suddenly pushing and twisting inside of you because it wants to be let it out? Yeah, it sounds a little weird, but this is how it is for me and the only way I know to let it out is to write. Even if it doesn’t make sense. Even if it just 2 sentences long or more than 10 pages. So those two character analysis had to be written.
So, justifications have been found, social anxiety has been appeased, all’s fine I guess. Now for the introduction!
Hi again: welcome to “Just the Howling of The Wind” aka Achernar‘s place (I’m Achernar, nice to meetcha). This blog is many things: an archive, a diary, a soulroom, an outlet. And a meeting place to share and create ideas with you.
Content will vary from character analysis to actual original stories (or fanfics), from Anime recs and comments to personal thoughts and reflections. But again, this blog IS many things: a little variety is to be expected.
For more info about me, you can visit the about page or hit me up on twitter and tumblr, and, of course, leave a message here.
Thank you for stopping by and until the next post!
P.S: kudos if you can actually find where I got the title for this blog
