Inspirational Monday # 4: One Good Thing

I was absolutely freaked out about receiving my results for my business midterm. Honestly, I felt that I did poorly on that exam. First of all, it's very hard to prepare for it since the midterm pretty much tests your skills on the spot. Every case is different, so you're really assessed in a fair, yet unfair way. Sometimes, you get the right case and you feel great while other times, you receive the wrong one and you're perpetually stuck on the calculations. (I'm usually fine with analyzing my data. It's just . . . I get the wrong numbers . ....

Chapter 1: Unthinkable Friendship from Because Confessions are Overrated . . .

I think everyone has a friend who we never thought would be our friend until of course, that person became a friend of ours. I know just the friend to introduce. Let us know him as you. You and I met in high school. You were popular while I was . . .  No, I was not bullied or alienated by my classmates. I just hung out with different people, who were interested in other subjects. Your group was more interested in partying or starting relationships. My group preferred to talk about current events or our school subjects. When I think of how...

Because Confessions are Overrated . . .

I always wondered what it would be like to write an autobiography, so I thought I would give it a try. I have thought of the title of my autobiography. My life? My thoughts? My words? I thought of the overused "Confessions of a . . ." Then, I thought I would go with: "Because Confessions are Overrated . . ." I don't think I'm confessing anything. I'm just stating my thoughts or whatever about my life. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. So, I guess . . . let's start with my introduction. Introduction I am never good with introductions. Whenever...

Inspirational Monday # 3: Names

I always go name hunting for my characters. I spend at least a couple of hours trying to find the perfect names for my characters. The meaning has to be right. The sound has to be right. The look of the name on paper has to be right too. It's hard to fulfill these. Not to mention, if you're trying to have a couple, the couple's names have to go well together!  So, let me share a name I found. (Oh, don't use this name for your story! I found it first and I will be using it for a story I have in mind. Finders keepers huh?) Emel: means desire...

The Five Different Lovers: Prelude (Original Cast)

Hi, I'm not sure if any of you remember, but a while ago, I said that I would release a TFDL: Prelude version that is not a fan fiction. I know I put some chapters on fictionpress, but I have actually revised them further. I've started editing and have added more to this piece. I've entered the TFDL: Prelude (original cast) in a competition on textnovel.com. The prize is up to $1,500 and a possible literacy agency/publishing agency contract. So, if you're interested in reading a more developed version of TFDL or just curious as to what I've done,...

Status Update 7 - First week of March

Now, why in the world would I post a schedule for March when we are not past February? Well, the answer would be more midterms! Yes, I will be away for next week, so I don't think I will be updating. I will continue to write, but I doubt I'd update. Too tired. So, I'll update within this week before I leave and then you will, unfortunately, have to wait until March for the next update. Rebirth Fictionpress: Chapter 54 will be released on February 16th. Chapter 55 will be up on March 3rd. Soompi: Chapter 53 will be released on February 17th....

Inspirational Monday # 2: Love, love, love?

First of all, Happy Valentine's Day!  I haven't done anything special today, except for . . . taking an exam. In fact, today was not a very good Monday for me, but let's not make Mondays that bad. Let me start with what I think about Valentine's Day. Whenever I think of Valentine's Day, I'm reminded by this song by Epik High. It's called "Love Love Love". This was actually the first Korean song I ever heard of in my life and it would be the start of many that I would eventually hear. This song is about unrequited love or a broken heart ....

Happy Valentine's Day!

I thought I'd give a Valentine's Day gift to my readers, both Rebirth and TFDL! I know I am early, but I will forget if I don't do this now. I shared a future romantic scene for Rebirth on soompi, but it was really short and I honestly don't think it was that romantic. It was a bit sadistic in fact. Oh well, so here's another scene you will scene. Romantic . . . maybe? (It will only be shared on my blog, so if you visit, then you're lucky!) As for TFDL, I thought I would share something too. I'm not even sure if I will be using this sweet segment,...

Status Update 6 - February Continued

I finished my Rebirth updates for the beginning of February, so I thought I'd give the next set of dates! I'm almost done my midterms. I have another one tomorrow, and then one on Valentine's Day! I can do this . . . if I don't fall asleep. Oh, I forgot to mention that I have shared Beau and Raphel's drawings on the Rebirth page. I have also added all the posters that were made for Rebirth. I did not make those. Several talented graphic artists from soompi did! I only provided the pictures for the characters. Rebirth I feel like I should release...

Inspirational Monday # 1: A Storm of Male Models

As I mentioned in a previous post, I will be writing on every Monday with some interesting things that I have found during the weekend. Hopefully, they'll bring some joy to mundane Mondays! I accidentally found this video uploaded on jeremyjn23's channel while searching for male models to use for my stories' covers and posters. I enjoyed the clip a lot. I thought it was rather fun and amusing to see models lipsynching to a song. There was one segment that really intrigued me and that had to be the moment when all the models walked on stage with...

Housekeeping issues

I like to call miscellaneous issues, housekeeping issues. They're like little things you have to do in the house. A long time ago, I said I would upload my drawings, and before, I had scanned them and was ready to share them. Unfortunately, my laptop broke a month ago, so I haven't scanned any of the other ones on this laptop. I will this weekend. I will be sharing Beau's drawing. I will also be sharing some posters that I have requested to be made for Rebirth. They'll be found on the Rebirth page. I will be sharing TFDL posters too! They will...
