TFDL: Prelude - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: The Leader Vows to be in Control

When the three boys, Junsu, Yoochun, and Changmin, had arrived home, they were flabbergasted to discover that the whole mansion was shunned with darkness and obscurity, aside from the flashing plasma screen in the living room. 

“Is that who I think it is?” Junsu pointed his index finger at the shadow. This was probably the boys’ worst fear and may be even their nightmare. “I don’t like this.” Junsu shuddered and headed for the closest light switch. 

“Don’t,” Changmin pulled one hand out of his pocket to stop Junsu, “don’t turn on the goddamn lights. You know how he’ll be if . . .”

A sample dish

Although I'm not done, I just had to share the drawings I've created for one character's profile. I hope it's obvious who it is.

Without further ado, here he is! So, who is it? Hehe.

Good news!

I wasn't sure how to title this, except to put "good news".

So, here I am to proudly say that I think I know what to do with TFDL now. I admit that I've been slightly confused these days about TFDL's direction. When I plan, I plan super far ahead, so I'm thinking in book two and in book three, what would happen. I like to link things together, and I really want to tell a complete story with an ending that satisfies you and me.

I hope you're enjoying the revisions because I frankly think they've made the story better. I feel like I know the characters more, especially for Jaejoong and Yoomi. I'm pretty sure I've confessed that Yoomi has always been hard to capture for me, but I'm certain now who she is. I like her character more than before. As for Jaejoong, I think I like his character even more than before too!

I remember the soompi poll I had and still have. I asked who people's favourite characters were, and a lot of people picked Jaejoong. I wasn't sure why he was the popular one, but after doing this revision, I'd be tempted to pick him as my favourite now too. (I still can't really decide. Haha, I love them all for different reasons, and I enjoy writing each character's part even more.)

I have more good news. I should be able to release the manga drawing of all the characters by the end of April. I've squashed all of the important characters into one paper. I might do character profiles later for fun. It would be like "Height is ____. Interests are _____." I might do that for Rebirth too. Haha! We'll see.

So, I'm out of the writer's block for TFDL. As for Rebirth, I need spend a lot of time planning.

Cheers and wish me luck on my finals!

*Update: I've become obsessed with drawing TFDL characters, so yes, I definitely think character profiles would be ready soon. So far, I've started to work on Rhett, Jaejoong, Jihyun, and Ami. Haha, I hope you'll like them and think the guys look awesome. ;)

Inspirational Monday #7: Dreams

My friend and I were talking over skype one day, and I asked her what were some things she wanted to do before she died. Somehow, we were complying our own bucket list.

We were tired of waves and waves of exams, so it was fun to think about dreams and aspirations. I'm not going to share my whole list here, but here are a few things that I want to do:

1. Ride a camel across the desert (I ended up youtubing "riding an ostrich". Very extreme.)

2. Participate in a tea ceremony (I've always wanted to be dressed in a kimono while making some green tea and then munching on some traditional Japanese desserts.)

3. Learn how to waltz (I'm a horrible dancer, but somehow waltzing seemed cool . . . at least from the historical films I've seen.)

4. Publish a novel (That's probably very, very, very hard to achieve unless I decide to self-publish my work. I don't think I'd self-publish though.)

5. Go on an exchange for a year (I really want to accomplish this. I'd like somewhere completely different from where I'm from. It'd be interesting writing material anyways.)

So, try to make your own bucket list. I think it would feel great to scratch one thing off a list. :)

TFDL: Prelude - Chapter 3

Chapter Three: The Mom Learns of Hate and the Hidden Devil Lives in his Kingdom of Worshippers

            “Wake up, Jaejoong.” A woman kept yanking his arm.

            Stretching his other arm, Jaejoong murmured, “N-no, let me go. I don’t want to cook today, Changmin.” Then, he screamed once he felt like a boulder had squished his back. “What the—“

            He turned to find Ami choking on her giggles while rolling off of the bed to dress. “You should really move out some time if the guys are still causing you grief.” She started to button the blouse that she had retrieved from the floor.

            Jaejoong rubbed his eyes with his palms and groaned, “Stop saying that. You know that none of us will move out any time soon.”

            Slipping on her stockings, she laughed. “Well, you can’t keep sleeping over at my place . . . when you want. It’s been . . . what? Seven years and you’re still there because of some silly promise you—“

            “It’s not a silly promise.”

Chapter 4: Transitions from Rebirth

          I would not be able to say what day it was, but I never lost track of how many days had passed since my arrival. My method of counting was a system of precision that revolved around a meal for I was only given a meal a day. Starvation was supposed to keep my figure for the auction. According to the old woman who was responsible for my body, I needed to lose a few pounds to maintain the look of a youthful doll.

          “That is your target audience,” she had always reminded me before taking measurements of every part of my body each morning, “men who are attracted to childlike women.”

          “So, they will do whatever they please with me?” I had asked her once.
