In the past year, I have become increasingly interested in the sentiments of nostalgia, melancholy, and wistfulness. Having realized that this is somewhat of my personal plague which is at times very overwhelming yet tragically beautiful, I have realized that I can transfer this into my writing.
This project, called Saturn, references the medieval creation of the word "saturnine", derived from alchemists' beliefs that the planet was symbolic of slowness, gloominess, and mystery. This will be an anthology of emotion, of sorts. I will be posting short stories centred around these ideas, helping me to explore my emotions and the psychology of melancholia. I will also be posting quotes, songs, and images that further spur on my creativity and generally are used as influences and/or muses to the things I write.
Comments, reviews, tips, and whatever else are very welcome, if not encouraged, as I venture onwards into a project that will be hopefully be enlightening and revealing not only to others, but myself.
