With Raven Ink, I Decree

Cracking Stiff Fingers

I must say, it was a blessing in disguise to take a break and make a return to focus on what I love doing most: Writing and helping out my friends while in the process of doing so. We cannot deny the power of social media when it comes to spreading news or to share a great find and it was nice to break the champagne once more as the ship is ready to set sail to a new voyage!

It all began with a request from Tzang asking the local Gothic community if they were keen in participating on a new project he was on and as if on instinct, I acted on the post and decided to spread the good word around through my website and if you are reading this Tzang, best of luck on The March Of The Misfits! Unfortunately, due to my commitments on weekdays, I have only the weekends to dedicate some time on writing articles whenever possible but as I found out today, what a weekend spent just trying to trace on updates and coming up with decent content! My apologies in advance for those whose events I have missed out (the For Better Endings show on Friday, hope you guys rocked the crowd!) but through my research, I did come across some interesting news this week:

1. DJ Jean Reiki now has her own 1 hour slot on the Singapore radio station Lush 99.5FM via a bi-monthly show that is held on Saturday, 8-9pm. I must admit that the only time I am on local radio is on Sundays when Vicious Volume is on air but now, I have another reason to tune in! My favourite definitely has to be the mix between Bollywood and Cantourban, keep it up Jean!
2. Singapore Death Fest 2012 is returning again this year and the line-up is almost complete so hopefully, everything is set in stone soon and maybe drop by if possible.
3. The music movement is Singapore is still going strong and apparently, a place called Hood Bar is becoming the new venue to rock out. Sounds interesting, I might want to check it out someday.

Speaking of writing, there is a likelihood that the Very Violent, Violet project will finally be out! While the bad news is that the book will be released in batches (I am publishing this as an independent as opposed to whoring my material to a publisher and expect to adhere with their guidelines. Plus, self-publishing is in line with the Romanticist ideals of fuck the world, RIP Byron), two lucky people will be receiving it next month. Who is it? Well, you will have to find it out yourself. Once again, its great to be writing and I will try to provide more updates here whenever possible.
