Short Story / Life update

Hello everyone~


How are you all? I hope you’re doing well~
It’s been a while since I was actively online. Truth is, that school is way more time consuming as I originally expected. The days are quite long and in the evening, I usually don’t have the energy to do more than just watch a bit of TV or read (if I don’t have to learn for tests which is actually the usual way I spend my evenings since this summer). This caused me some problems as a writer.

  1. No time, no new chapters. I desperately want to write and update my stories but because of my limited time I have… well… I decide to do other things instead of writing the whole chapter. I feel also that when I write it feels rushed and not right and I don’t want my stories to feel that way.
  2. I promised several people to write them a story. There is a total of 4 one shots (or two shots in some cases) I promised to write. One is / was for an EunHae event that took part last year. That story is almost done but without the proper time to edit it feels like garbage. And I don’t want any of my stories to feel that way especially if it’s written for someone T.T
  3. Too many ideas. As I’m not able to write as much as I usually did I can’t get the ideas out of my head. Therefore, I somehow get more and more ideas for scenes or stories by just going to school or living my live. This actually doesn’t sound that bad but it is as this causes me to look at my on going stories and feel bored of them at that moment as the other one is shiny and new…

Even though I still go to that school and I still need to learn as much (maybe even more as the final exams are right around the corner (as my teachers loved to point out lately)) as before I try to get a regular writing schedule for me. This doesn’t mean I’ll be able to update regularly but I want to take some time to write once or twice in the week which naturally would result in updates. However, I can’t tell how far I’ll be coming in those writing sections therefore… I try but don’t expect too much.

These are the stories I currently work on:

Like a Cat (Super Junior, EunHae, fantasy, fluff, one shot) On Going

This is the story I promised to write for the EunHae event. It’s almost done and I have time to edit this weekend (only one test on Friday next week). Therefore, I expecting to be able to conclude this one shot in a week or two.


Don't Take Your Eyes Off Me (GOT7, YugBum, MarkGyeom, Jinson, fluff, secretsanta 2015, one shot) On Going

This is another story I promised to write. My friend for who this gift is for knows about my current struggles and was so nice to give me some more time. I started the second and final chapter but it still needs quite a long way to go.


Black Roses (GOT7, MarkJin, fluff, slight angst, secretsanta2015, one shot) On Going

This is another story I promised to write. I started writing this one in Summer in Korea but I managed to put myself in a corner. I still need to figure out some things about this one. Therefore, I give my best to continue soon but don’t expect an update until


Unknown (GOT7, JJProject, fluff, slight angst, college au, one shot) On Going

This is another story I promised to write To be very honest as I’m working on all the others right now I haven’t really been able to decide which plot I want to go with this one. I’m working on it through and I expect an update in the end of April or the beginning of Mai.


The Boy With 5 Colours In His Hair (GOT7, JJProject, drama, fluff, romance) On Going

This… will be a new one. I know I shouldn’t but hear me out. This is a fic I already written years ago with an OC in it. I merely need to change a few things and then I can upload it as a JJProject fic. I hope you will look forward reading this story even through updates will be unregular. The first chapter should be online in one or two weeks.


How Much s Your Soul (Super Junior, EunHae, drama, romance) On Going

How Much is Your Soul will be the second chaptered fanfic I will be focusing on after completing the urgend one shots. As this is mainly editing it takes less time to get a finished chapter. However, as I change up quite a bit in it… it’s quite hard work to organize and work on it so it makes sense again in the end. Chapter 2 is a chapter that need quite a bit of editing therefore please be a bit more patient. I try to upload it once I got the time to put on a final touch.


Fires at Midnight (Super Junior, EunHae, fantasy, action, eunhaewonderland) Hiatus

Fires at Midnight is a fanfic I hold dearly. Therefore, it hurts to decide to put it on hiatus. I feel like I’m not able to write as good as I should for this one. Which is why it’s on hiatus now. However, this doesn’t mean that this fanfic will not be continued. It will be continued once I graduated from my school and finished either How Much Is Your Soul or The Boy With 5 Colours In His Hair. With more time at hand I should be able to write it as good as I want it to be. (I have great things in mind for this one)


Missing Piece (Super Junior, EunHae, Fantasy, Angel, romance, drama, eunhaedesire) Hiatus

Missing Piece has been on hiatus before. Therefore it should be no surprise that the hiatus continues. Just as with Fires at Midnight I have quite a lot in mind for this one and I also feel like this needs a better writer with more time at hand. A writer I’m currently not able to be. It will be continued once I graduated from my school and finished either How Much Is Your Soul or The Boy With 5 Colours In His Hair. With more time at hand I should be able to write it as good as I want it to be.


That was a long blog. Are you still with me?
I really try to be a more active member/writer in the future. Please look forward to that. I will let you know about a certain hiatus phase of one or one and a half month before my final exams (girl needs to study T.T

Hopefully until soon. Stay save~

Nothing is worst than having a lot of ideas and no time to put them on paper. I've been wanting to finish my Got7 story so badly. I have a lot of it planned out but I just don't have the time to get it done. I know the feeling...

School is kicking my right now too, so I know exactly how you feel. Writing should be enjoyable, not feel like a chore, so I would rather you take your time and put out something you're happy with instead of stressing yourself out over imaginary deadlines. Good luck with your classes! Fighting!
