Hi! I write books. Sometimes I put my characters through hell, because it's fun, but everything always turns out okay in the end

Snippet a day

It’s been a while. 🙂

So… I wrote a book. Planned release will be towards the end of this month, if things go to plan. Eek.

To celebrate the upcoming release, I’ll be posting some short snippets. I’m not sure if I’ll be doing a snippet a day, but I’ll see how I go. ❤️ Usual disclaimer: Subject to changes on release and all that.

Bullet Journal

So… I got a bullet journal. 😊 I already have a planner, but the past few weeks have been insane, and I think it’s helping me structure and plan really busy weeks. I’m getting water color and stickers and everything, it’ll be so fun. I got some pastel-colored pens and inky black pens. There’s something so soothing about planning out the months ahead of you. Gives you focus, in a way.

Plus, I can practice my lettering. Two birds in one stone. 🙂

Update

It’s been raining so much the past week, so I’m glad there’s a little sunshine today. Lately, I’ve been trying to sleep earlier so I could get up at 5 am (I know, I’ve never been a morning person before, but give it a try), and so far, it’s doing wonders for my productivity. There’s something so quiet and peaceful waking up at that time. The days feel longer, too.

I’m at a point in the book where it’s all coming together. It’s been a breeze to write so far, which bodes well lol. A newsletter is coming out later today with a new snippet. ❤️

So about other stuff: on April, we went to visit Tokyo for the first time. It was so beautiful, and the food was delicious. 😍 Definitely hoping to revisit again in the future. I had tea! With light-projected flowers that break apart as soon as soon as you move the cup, and blossom again when you set it down the table. It was an experience for sure.

Release dates: There’s no concrete release date for Offstage #2 yet, but it will be out soon, hopefully within August. Will let you all know in the coming weeks. 🙂

And I thought I would only reach 500 max. 😆

Surprised there is no lag whatsoever when flipping through pages. The only time it lags a little is when leaving the book and opening a new one.

Pens

I’ve discovered a new obsession.

Behold…

Glitter gel pens!

OMG these pens glide so smoothly on paper. ❤️ I don’t know why, but using them makes me happy. Are there scented ones? I want scented ones. They remind me of when I used to have a peach-coloured one that was vanilla-scented back in third-grade. 

I have a new planner too and it’s pretty, and it has a proper list section for priorities and weekly focus, and it has quotes and everything. I’ve never considered myself a list person, but lately I’ve been making a lot of them.

Okay, back to writing. Hope everyone’s had a great Christmas, and belated Happy New Year! 🙂

Look what I found:

My sister asked me if this was what I was looking for, because it got mixed up with her stuff. I had no idea how that happened. But I can finally read properly again. 🙂  Thought I’d lost it and was considering getting a new one.  Yay!
