Writing Dark Fiction

Creative writing is no easy endeavor and with the implementation of dark subject matter into the mix you’ve got a concotion that reeks a foul odor of challenge to newer writers. But creative writing tied to dark fiction represents perhaps some of the most compelling types of stories available to read. In fantasy writing, there is dark fantasy, grimdark fantasy, and various other sub genres that…

Evening Oil Announcement!

I am excited to announce a series upcoming here at the evening oil! In the old country of Illumantia lies a city marked with an extensive past that stretches centuries. Thousands call it home, though it is a home that attracts the most peculiar of strangers. The city of Sundown is coated with mystery, darkness, and looming threats which come about seemingly from nowhere. Founded, by the…

The Crow of Gael County Short story 1: Death of The Fool

Tortuous was the day for work itself destroys the hands. In light of what fruits toil has brought us, was the sun’s very own day crowned with radiance across the fields. A filthy boy such as I was not meant to be blessed with such sights, harked through the mouth of my bitter father. The farm’s law was constant labor to celebrate the days where we would be graced with its warmth and light and…

Writer's Block: A Treatable ailment

Writer’s Block: A Treatable ailment

For a concept that extends even beyond the scope of writing and can apply to just about any form of work, writer’s block most definitely strikes strongest in its homefield. It’s a nearly universal concept acknowledged by those outside of the field though in terms of methods to treat it, the advice is similar to many other kinds of writing related advice, and is mostly subjective and varied.

An Update For 2022

I know it’s been a long time since I last posted, but it was for a good reason. I was working on a lot of stuff in my life and was rethinking exactly why I started this blog in the first place. For the new year I wish to redefine what writing means to me and what this blog is all about. For a while I was confused on what exactly I wanted my blog to be about and what I wanted to express to my…

Living in Darkness: Experiencing Hurricane Ida

In light of the havoc wreaked by the massive storm that came through one Sunday afternoon, I went without power for around three days. It went off that evening and with it, being able to get back to life as normal was nigh impossible. Hundreds of thousands of people in Lousiana are still currently without power and in the case of New Orleans, they may not be fully restored until October. I say…

The Beauty of Solitude

Often times when the day is dealt with, we find more time just be with and only with ourselves. If only the society of which we lived in appreciated and understood the importance of such time being used in this way and how it plays a larger role in our lives than perhaps previosuly thought. In life we will be destined to be stuck with only our thought with no one to share them with. We seek…

Summer Sets and Autumn falls: Welcoming a new tide

Today it is early August. The pinnacle of Summer is setting towards the beginning of the new Autumn who in due time come September will flourish forth anew. The long days will shorten and the heat of the sun will be less felt as a new stirring cold breeze sets in and the leaves of the tree change color and flock towards the Earth. Within my opinion, Autumn is the best time of the year. The…

Why Love Yourself?

There is only one of you and no matter what, you will always stand by yourside. No you aren’t a narcissist for having self love. Unforunately self love is not deemed much of a valuable objective or quality to aspire to in these recent times. In society especially when we are younger, we feel this pressure and need to impress and have others like or appreciate us. It doesn’t matter if you are…

The House of Rot: A Poem

Pale as sun and dark as gloom, an eyesore bore itself in bloom. The house of rot sat with oozing neglect and misery. It cried out in solitude for love and attention in a display of agony. With halls and walls that sung of decay and writhing pain. Everyone despised the house hoping to never see it again. An ugly mess doomed to destruction Not by force, by hand, or by wrath. But by isolation…
