#AntagonistApril April 5
I've never written a redeemable or sympathetic villain, although I have been toying with the idea of playing with morally grey characters in the future.

The APS management team loves to be on the water, living on the west-central Florida coast as they do, so it's boating, swimming, jet-skiiing, and other water activities as often as they can.

#SundaySnips from a story that's looking for a home—a part of me feels like rewriting it as an Omela inspired story (it's not too far off in concept, and would be a small fix)

#WritingPrompt Oh man, let's see... I think it's my MC's emotional growth. He's been mousy all his life, and over the course of the story, he "grows his claws" and learns to be the cat. (My WIP is littered with animal metaphors lol.)
Also the emotional roller-coaster in this WIP is quite a ride. 👀

To kick things off, here is my entry for #PoetsOfDoom #Cassiopeian #WildWalkPrompt
My speech from a few hours ago about mono no aware inspired this piece. I present to you all, my very first Ambahan!
#BlueSkyPoets #writingprompt #Ambahan #NickJoaquin #5amwritersclub #poetrycommunity
Hello, my fellow poetic doomers! It’s me, Steve (I am melting in the summer heat so bear with me here). Here is your form and prompt this week. I present to you, the Ambahan. The Ambahan is a traditional form of poetry of the Hanuno'o Mangyan people of Mindoro Island, Province of Mindoro, Philippines. The ambahan is traditionally written in the "surat Mangyan" script, one of the old traditional scripts of the Philippines pre-colonization period, carved on pieces of bamboo rods with a knife. It is a lyrical, chant-like poetry form consisting of seven syllables per line. There is no limit to the line count, and each line (at least in the Mangyan language) should rhyme. It needs not be sung, but the quality and tone of the piece must be chant-like, rhyming, and metaphorical. Your task? Write an Ambahan of any length, rhymes must be present at any rhyme scheme, and it should use one of the following lines as your title/topic, or add the line Inspired by: (chosen line of your choice) before your piece from the excerpts below that I have gathered from the most imminent Filipino short-story writer, novelist, and journalist of his time, Nick Joaquin: But alas, the heart forgets..and Maytime passes "I love" is a door girls slam in their father's faces Love in my interpretation comes once in a lifetime How we break our hearts trying to make sense of a world that's pure and utter crap... If you beget a monster of a child it could prove you were rather monstrous yourself. The hyperbole was accompanied by plain macaroni. To remember and to sing: That is my vocation Apocalypse awaits me: urgent my sorrow... I take a place in the bus among people returning Use the hashtags #Ambahan #NickJoaquin and of course, #PoetsOfDoom in your post for this week. Have fun!
Since it is Sunday, Ontario EST, I will now present your task this week for #PoetsOfDoom. It is quite a read so take your time, and have fun with it!
Tag me and my cohosts, of course!

Daily #writingprompt:
"This is the heart of humanity? I wasn't expecting it to be so... small."
grammar, but without its grammatical gender (and with addition of non-binary pronouns as Istemorians recognize non-binary people). I also dipped a bit into Irish and Icelandic a bit for flavour. (2/2)

#ConlangApril 2: Arca'raed is the everyday language for the majority of the island continent of Dachail, home of the Istemorians. Though it has no magical properties in and of itself, there are certain ceremonial chants that are said during tattooing (the source of their magic).
