I self-published a short story, pre-order now!

I wrote a 2,200 word horror/thriller short story bc I realized it's easier for me to write spooky stuff than romance lol. I envisioned the main characters as Seulrene and thought of posting the first 10% as a short story on here with them as seulgi and Irene but....once I wrote it and looked at the first 10% it didn't make sense to post just that tiny bit as a teaser lol. But yes, I wrote it in a quick burst last night and put together a rather lackluster cover lol. But I actually quite like the story, so you can check it out on amazon if you want!!!!

"Having moved to a quaint cabin in the woods, appreciating her ability to work remotely, Sarah has a new fear as she heard moans and groans and maybe even some howls deep in the woods near her new home. Keeping in contact with her best friend and former roommate Isabelle, she finds comfort in her friend helping her manage her fear and keep her safe."

 

 

I wanna get into the habit of writing and publishing stories everyday and then eventually working on longer titles. I'd also like to put one poem in each of these shorter stories, and once I've finished the concepts I want to explore, take all the poems and put them into their own collection. 

 

I always liked the hanahaki concept, where you have feelings for someone that manifest as flowers in your throat that you cough up. So I was researching it and found it in a list of unrequited love concepts that I'm really interested in using as prompts for like one-sided love gone wrong stories. So I think that'll be my focus for the new few months with writing and whatnot. 

 

The story I wrote and linked to above I just did as a little test run, write whipped it up in an hour and tested my self-publishing skills yet again. But moving forward I'd like to aim for these unrequited love stories to be 5k-10k words. Something I can create in a day but it's also long enough to create a paperback of so I can self-publish them and buy a copy for myself and begin to fulfill my dream of having a bookshelf of fiction written by me.

 

I'd like to share these stories with you all on here but obvi I can't in full if I'm gonna be self-publishing them. So what I might aim to do is write a tiny short for y'all everyday and then also as an individual story post the beginning of the stories that I will be writing. Because sometimes I randomly post really short stories on here that aren't even completed, just a concept. So I'd don't think it would be bad to post like the first 500 words of a story but change the characters to K-pop idols, and then link to the fleshed out version you can buy on amazon. And if I do do this and people take issue, then I'll just go back to only posting about them in blogs. But hakuna Maratha amirite lol.

 

but yeah, I've found myself at a point where I know I can write ...but I wanna write some plot too. So I wouldn't doubt I end up going down a path of like, dark romance/ty thrillers lol. But for now I just wanna explore writing medium length stories and dabbling more into poetry. And also I got an iPad (from my head boyfriend...if you saw that one private post of me venting about him lol) a few months back so I wanna practice drawing and eventually get good enough to make my own book covers. I also have other going on in my life BUT I'm hoping it works itself out lmao. Just car/job , nothing awful, I'm healthy and moderately happy, just anxious as always lol but I think I'm getting better. 

 

I hope you all are doing well! You know I love to come on these blogs every once in a while and touch base with y'all so don't be shy to respond...or don't if you don't feel like it, that's perfectly fine too haha. 

 

Again, here is the link to the pre-order of the story (It's completed and , I just put it on a pre-order bc I wanna get into the habit of self-publishing that way bc apparently if you get ppl to pre-order it, once it's "live" it helps its visibility in the amazon algorithm or smth I suppose. So 🤷‍♀️ haha)

I hope you all have a good day/night and I'm excited to write this next story and share it all with you once I have it published!
