[procrastiwriting-deactivated202]

My main problem as a writer is that I don’t write because “I have a story to tell”. I write because there are worlds I want to visit, ideas I want to explore, people I want to meet, conversations I want to hear, emotions that I want to express, and impossibilities I want to make real.

Which means that I still need a fucking plot.

三十年河东，三十年河西。

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.

Life changes like the Yellow River changes its course.

If Empresses in the Palace could be summarized with just one quote, it would be that one. As one concubine rises, the other falls depending on the volatile favor of an emperor who will never replace the first wife that he lost.

"According to the criterion of stipend, the haseki, or favorite concubine, enjoyed the greatest status in the imperial harem after the valide sultan. The haseki, a slave concubine and no blood relation to the reigning sultan, ranked higher than the sultan's own sisters and aunts, the princesses of the dynasty." - The Imperial Harem: Women and Sovereignty in the Ottoman Empire by Leslie P. Peirce
