Inspirational Monday # 6: Don't mess with girls

I always check up on music for J-pop, Kpop and Cpop, and so, I saw the latest MV for 4Minute's new song, Heart to Heart. What can I say? What did I learn? Precisely the title of my post. Don't mess with girls. Really. This MV is supposed to be lighthearted, but let me tell you, there's a difference between an angry guy and a pissed off girl. I find the female species  scarier than the male species. Don't bite me, girls. I'm a girl too so I know. The MV portrays girl behaviour that has gone bad . . . very well. Here you go. Enjoy. (Oh,...

TFDL: Prelude - Chapter 2

Chapter Two: The Leader Finds Himself on the Path of Doom and the Free Spirit Finds Himself on the Path of Boredom Rhett’s cell phone kept ringing, but he ignored its cries. Well, that would have happened if he actually knew that it was ringing. It wasn’t until a man in his forties tapped Rhett on the shoulder and pointed to his noisy cell phone did Rhett realize how silly he was. Already in a foul mood and now even more mortified, he answered with a yell, “Yeah! I thought I told you guys not to call!” “Rhett?” a warm voice gently asked. Shit,...

TFDL: Prelude - Chapter 1

Chapter One: The Innocent Boy Has Found his Innocent Girl The worst day of Rhett’s life was when he realized that he had lost to his best friends in the game of love. Now, Rhett Jung was the second oldest boy in the household, being 25 years old, and so he believed that he could have never lost due to his age and other factors. It wasn’t as if his appearance and personality were unappealing to women.  Even the boys came to a consensus that Rhett was the second most handsome fellow in their group due to his model-like height and broad shoulders....

Status Update 9 - Early April

Before I do the usual stuff and announce the dates of my updates, I have to first make a huge announcement about TFDL. Etude will be on hold until I finish revising Prelude! If you have been reading my blog, then you probably know that I've been editing TFDL: Prelude. At first, I thought I could edit it so that there would be two different versions, but somehow, as I was editing, I realized that I couldn't keep one version away from the other. There were noticeable flaws in the first draft, so I had to change several things. I have to say that...

Chapter 3: Revelations from Rebirth

        “Are you sure, you’re okay?” Brett kept asking me throughout the car ride. Even when Brett had walked me to the front door of my apartment, he had asked one last time, “Renelle, are you sure you don’t want to take a few days off—“          “I’m fine, really.” I plugged my key to the half-broken lock, twisting the door knob.          “All right, if you say so.” Brett grunted....

Forgetful but wait there . . .

I can't believe it but I forgot to write an inspirational Monday entry for yesterday! I was reading a disappointing manga. It was good at first, but after how the mangaka decided to wrap things up so quickly, I became upset. So, I thought . . . what would happen if I drew TFDL (original) in a manga style? Well, I drew a complete set of characters together and it has been a challenge indeed. It's still not complete, but hopefully, I can release it on with the new TFDL: Etude update. :) So far, I've drawn everyone's positions and rough body sketches,...

Chapter 2: Change from Rebirth

        The test of survival depended on Darwin’s theory of natural selection: the fittest ones lived and passed on their genes to their offspring. In effect, these traits were more common in certain populations. What would I pass on to my future offspring if I had any? Would I even live to pass anything alon...

Revisions

For some reason, I'm in the mode to edit, so I've stopped writing and started to review my older chapters. I've actually started to fall in love with my characters all over again. I know this is awful to admit, but I can be bored of my own stories after a while. So, the editing process is making me more inclined and refreshed to write! Rebirth, as I have mentioned before, will be going through a ton of editing. So far, I've only had a couple of comments on soompi about the new version of chapter one, so please leave some feedback here. The more...

Chapter 1: Routine from Rebirth

I was reading the beginning and for some reason, I felt that something was lacking. Something just wasn't right, so I decided to revise chapter one for Rebirth. If you have read the first chapter of Rebirth on fictionpress, bookmato, booksie, soompi, or wattpad and you're reading this new version now, then please leave some feedback. I'm not even sure if I will use this revised version. I sincerely thank you beforehand! Chapter 1: Routine          I should have known that change was inevitable, that...

Inspirational Monday # 5: Historical Dance

I was writing a scene for Rebirth's sequel, Legacy, and I needed a scene with some dancing. Now, I am no dance connoisseur. Yes, let me use that overused phrase: I am that person with two left feet. I can play instruments, but I cannot follow dance moves. So, without personal experience, I thought, why not do some Googling? I started with the word, waltz. I thought waltzing seemed romantic enough, but the era from which it emerged, was surprisingly . . . modern. If you know some history and you've been a faithful reader of Rebirth (which I hope...

Status Update 8 - March

I thought I would release the proposed updates for March! March is going to be a busy month for me. I have to prepare for exams and focus my energies there, instead of on my writing. I am still distracted all the time. Rebirth Fictionpress: Chapter 56 will be released on March 18th. Early release because my term paper was extended! :) Chapter 57 will be on March 18th. Soompi: Chapter 56 will be released today and chapter 57 will be on March 18th. TFDL: Etude Asianfanfics: Chapter 13 will be out on March 18th. Some bad news: I've been thinking...
