Comments off on Instagram. Strange private/no posts/no followers accts telling me to send manuscript, title to them *now!* for their ‘groups’ w/ my personal info. Scary. Blocked all them, too. #authors #novels #novelwriting #writers #books #creativewriting #cdramafantasy #editing

Here I am as a baby in Saigon. My Bà ngoại (grandmother) is Vietnamese and my Ông ngoại (grandfather) is Chinese. Those are my brothers. I get my creative writing from Ông ngoại who has written many books. #authors #novelwriting #creativewriting #novels #books #editing #writers #cdramafantasy

Okay! I revised the beginning of part 1 of ch1. I like it & locked it with password. Declined publisher-wants shorter book, wants more American style, & dislikes Chinese words I use. Going indie, but need editor. #authors #novels #novelwriting #creativewriting #writers #cdramafantasy #books #editing

Proofreader-publisher-said write this differently. I asked to review for flow, but instead I was advised to not open story with dialogue. See pics below. May publish indie style. Will not change, ruins direction #authors #novels #novelwriting #writers #books #cdramafantasy #creativewriting #editing

I have added a disclaimer page. This way, readers unfamiliar with C-dramas will understand this is a fiction fantasy story. My partner thinks this may be offensive, but I feel it is necessary. What do you think? #author #novelwriting #novels #writers #editing #creativewriting #books #cdramafantasy
