I have talked about finishing my latest book 'Hades' in the previous post. But now I'm going to give you a small detail of how I decided to write this story.  Well, normally my mind couldn't keep still, so it always wanders around looking for new story ideas. I have always been fascinated by the Greek mythology. It's full of wonders and surprising twists. Every tale has its own consequences. Like the story of Persephone being kidnapped to the Underworld and in turn caused the changes of the seasons.  But one thing that I wish I could read more is powerful women. Athena and Artemis are two goddesses that I just so idolize (I mean who wouldn't want to run wild and free or just born invincible?), but they don't have any love life. Then I was like 'why don't I recreate the myth and add a new twist into it?" that's how the story Hades was born. But why Hades? That's also another question. We're all human beings who fear death b...

I couldn't be prouder of these books and the girls I have portrayed in them. They were such fun characters to write and explore. I will always remember them and their lives and love stories. We need more GL books!  If you're intersted in reading them, I have the bookset collection available now on Amazon Kindle. Check the link here ! Summary: Sometimes girls do struggling with their feelings over their woman crush and themselves in general. This is a collection of standalone novels about three girls in various stages of life. They each tell a story of teenage love, life hacks and friendship. Book I: Average Jane Jane Waleski and her best friend, Emily Zuckerman, are average achievers on a good day and losers on a bad day, but they're quite proud of it! Or so they convince themselves. They read only the shortest books for book reports and always have the worst project for science class. On top of that they are hopeless romantics. So Jane and Emily form Loser Club: an exclusi...

  ROTA and DOTN are originally one story, but I split it into two books. It's probably the longest work I've ever written. I loved everything about it. The bad and the good. I'm grateful for my earlier readers who kept encouraging me to write. Honestly, sometimes I'm still surprised when readers tell DOTN is their favorite of all my works. I don't know what else to say. Thank you all for reading and sorry for finishing it. The summary:  Since the death of her mother, Nikita Azarova has been traveling with her father, who is an archaeologist. On one research trip to Southeast Asia, her father brings her to an ancient city of Angkor where she hopes to get a sense of connection with her mother's birthplace. Then something bizarre happens when they arrive at the Lost City. Soon, Nikita begins to discover the secret to activate the Lunar Gate before plunging herself into another realm where gods and demons exist. Stranded atop a pyramid temple in a strange world, she...

At last, I made myself join the famous writing movement along with other writers around the world. It's the National Novel Writing Month, AKA NaNoWriMo. It's basically a challenge to encourage any writer, from all levels and countries to write their novel-worthy ideas into words non-stop for 30 days until they reach 50,000 words, which is roughly 200 pages novel length. I won the challenge. When you win it, you get the badges and a certificate to congratulate you on your achievement. And you can use it as a foundation to your writing habit, because you have written 1,600 words a day and every day for a month. If you're a writer, you already know that writing can be easy and can be very hard. It's time consuming to think of each sentence to put down. You encounter a lot of obstacles like self-doubt and procrastination, distractions and daily responsibilities. So this challenge is quite a solid one. My advice is to be prepared. I didn't prepare much before...

Artist: unknown So I have been busy preparing three of my manuscripts for publishing. It's been a very hideous job editing and formatting all by myself. I'm still relatively new to the idea of being an indie author. But it's not that difficult once you stick with the problem long enough. As a result, I've released a kindle version of three books so far on Amazon. You can find out more details about them on the sidebar of my blog. I tried to price the books as low as possible so that my readers could have access to them. I know that most of my audience are teenagers or in their early 20s. Life is hard during that time and not to mention their financial stability. I've always writing for free for over three years now. And profit isn't the reason why I started writing. However, a little incentive could make you go an extra mile. Besides, a lot of my readers insisted me to publish my works so that they can get a hold of them or that they simply just lo...

By  Ryoko Nagara   So I've just finished writing another book called "Hades". This Greek mythology adaptation has a twist in it. It's a relief that I'm done with it. Phew! Who knew a novella was also hard to write? Well...it's not particularly hard to write, it's just that I had never written a short book. Hades is a novella, so it's different for me. Beside, it's my first time writing in 3rd person point of view. Almost all of my books are written in 1st person. I found it interesting and a bit easier to write in 3rd person, and now I know why a lot of professional writers argue that 3rd person is more effective to write. But I'm still learning. I'm glad I have done this book and ended it as nicely as possible. In short, I enjoyed doing Greek myth adaptations. Now the last thing I'm going to do is prepare the manuscript and get it ready to publish. I'm actually making a little money recently. I never thought of tryi...
