Seriously Serious Reasons Why You Should Pick Morrieland

A Saying at a Time - Procrastination is the thief of time

Know Your Idioms! - A hard nut to crack

Buyong Word Warrior with a Local Flavour

Have you checked out our YouTube channel yet? We’ve got free original cartoons there. Why would anyone miss out on such a thing right? It wouldn’t make any sense at all.

Here’s an episode I personally loved making especially during the voice recording session. A bunch of us were at Incognito Studio in Damansara Kim (a really cosy studio). Our talent John Oommen did a few voices that day and one of it was the Policeman. He made the character sounds so real that I felt like I got stopped by a policeman for not wearing a seatbelt or something (please wear your seatbelt!). We all laughed until our eyes got all teary. I just love making episodes where we can inject the good old local flavour in it. Ultimately, we all like to have a good laugh and maybe this episode can brighten up your day with a good laugh.

The Cat & A Shadow #1

Here’s one of the stories we received for “How Did the Cat Fall into the Drain?” Facebook contest from one of our own members. What can I tell you, MORRIELAND is just too much fun. You won’t know what you’re missing until you check us out.

What is up with this cat? Could the shadow be such a bother? Could this cat be a secret military agent? Just look at it going all "combat roll" over a shadow. Perhaps the question should be… What is up with the shadow?? Who is it???

*Kuragon 2012 will be knocking on your doors soon or you can knock on its door. Whatever...

A Story A Day Project by MORRIELAND

We’re all about stories. Even our games are based on stories and they’re not even role-playing games. Imagine that right? We’re the sort of people who believe that PacMan has a back story.

Our imagination lets us believe that PacMan is a horrible alien who came onto Ghost Land to steal their crops. That explains it, right? PacMan goes around eating seeds the ghosts had planted. Naturally, the ghosts will chase PacMan to capture it. But when PacMan eats a fruit, its power doubles and it can even eat the ghosts. Poor ghosts have no choice but to go even faster to catch the horrible PacMan. How about that for a story? It totally makes sense.

As fiction has it, stories don’t really have to make any sense (although some stories tend to be true). Moral value is good to have but the element of fantasy and mystery is essential in storytelling. A Story A Day Project is about writing and reading fiction for children of course.

You’d think that we’d have a story uploaded daily but you’d be wrong. This is a project we’re starting to encourage writers to contribute to children’s fiction and we’ll publish them (illustrated and all) in MORRIELAND’s Book Club. As a new writer, you’d appreciate the exposure. But if you’re an established writer then you’re doing it for a great cause. What might that be? It’s for children to make reading a daily habit. It will be like a stepping stone towards them becoming book worms but mostly, consumers of your other books. Win-win!

The stories need not be long. Two-hundred words or less and we’ll edit it if you go overboard. We’re writing some ourselves too. The target is 366 stories (leap year included) and we’ll keep you updated on our site. We’re hoping to achieve this by the end of 2012. We have to start somewhere. So consider being a part of this project for a good cause. It’s more like a noble objective for the book industry, traditional or digital.

Let’s get writing!
