I am wrapping up Season 2 Act 2 in about 5 chapters! Time really flies... Act 2 came up to be around half the size of Act 1. To be fair, Act 1 is a behemoth because of the introduction of many characters and events. Act 2 is a lot tighter because I'm zooming into more central themes

"how are the women in your story written?" idk man, something like this? "Or was it his daughter, whom he would not understand until years later, when he finally recognised the source of his ruthlessness?" *burp*

"Coins meant for rice or kerosene slid across the counter and came back white rum hot as apology." This is a line from a short story titled The Serpant in the Grove that won the Commonwealth Short Story Prize.

"Long story short, the essence of Singapore could be distilled into one word: drive. She rewards those with a drive for excellence adequately, yet is herself driven by a hard-edged pragmatism so entrenched she drove many—those who chafe at her perceived rigidity—away."

Just like any Singaporean author, I find myself writing about what I feel about this country, albeit through the mouth of a fictional character. In the most recent release, I wrote a chapter titled Singapore Sling

I studied in a school with the most talented artists who produced gorgeous works... Only for the school to use AI to create the open house banner that didnt even replicate the school crest properly. Wow wonderful! Good job! Really good representation of our values!

she's like many degrees twisted and insane. It's in her nature, and before anyone asks, no there's no traumatic backstory to her. Not perfect upbringing, but not horrible either. She was like that since she gained consciousness.

whoever coined the term "AI bilingual" which she milks alot, I would like to let you know that it's the most laughable, nothing-burger term ever

Lingering Wanderer 🇸🇬 | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Lingering Wanderer 🇸🇬 | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

yeah the whole esquire singapore AI interview for Mackenyu is bad, but it just goes to show how the AI push in Singapore is just going to erode away at ethics over time. Oh and creativity, yeah that shits been dying Is the death of ethics and creativity really worth "winning" the AI race for?

For a month, Mo Wang dreamt without memory. Each time, the beginning slipped away, but the ending clung to her like rot: Xue Yang sinking into Melissa’s swollen belly, and a terrible awareness, carried through the blade, of two heartbeats where there should have been one.

LOL here's mine. Sometimes if I want to add something, I would just put it in <> But this is just a first draft, essentially word vomit. Doesnt really make sense, but it will come together eventually

000

Lingering Wanderer 🇸🇬 | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

So I think we should just post unhinged word vomit as our drafts

Lingering Wanderer 🇸🇬 | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

I hv been seeing alot of posts where people post snippets of their writing. Of all the posts, 40% are definitely AI. But in the 60%, there are still people who think that it's AI generated
