I wrote this on Kindle Vella, but Vella is shutting down. Reformatted as an e-book.
Virus outbreak, apocalyptic scenarios, a race to find a cure in South Korea. Main character meets hot Korean guy.
Light sci-fi reading with romance.

A world in chaos.
Why are eggs so expensive?
I need BTS.

Erasmus: They are so pleased with their own opinions that they cannot endure to be contradicted and are so find of their own inventions that they embrace them as the most absolute truths.

This is not a fan account, but I will say that we need to be kinder.
We have a lot of new ARMY, and there is a learning curve for many.

Chocolate Milk Bread. Why the rolled bundles turned triangular? Not sure. Tastes great. Texture is lovely.

My saga "Vampires and Spies" explores a near-future in which vampires see humans as a primitive species, barely aware they exist, until the two must come together against forces of unspeakable darkness.

He's twelve years old in a world gone mad.
He's frightened and he's desperate, but he's still a force to be reckoned with.

After all, he's Billy, the kid.

Some Grammar Weeds

-다(가) 보니(까) grammar

This is nuance grammar frequently used when people talk of their experiences. The phrase before the form usually involves smth the speaker does repeatedly over some time, and the phrase after is something they realize from that experience.

Jimin's the loveliest sweetheart. (Weverse post 20250129)

Same caveat as always. I'm not a translator just somebody that's really enjoyed learning Korean!

If you watch kdramas and pay attention at all you know about the problems in Korea. But these videos are pretty gross especially because a lot of them are made by expats who parachute into the country and then become self-designated experts when they don't even know how to speak Korean.

"Because I was an athlete growing up, I didn't fit a stereotype that was based on the way American movies throughout Hollywood history have portrayed Asian men. My focus has been to step away from the context of Asian men being dehumanized and desexualized." -TEO YOO [@netflix.com's #THERECRUIT]

Struggling to write with all the noise of society and real life.
Then I get distracted by K-pop and BTS. The only thing I seem to do consistently is bake.

I post about writing. I post about bunnies and cats. I post about BTS and being Korean American.
Just FYI.
I care more about interactions than followers. 😘
