About me and writing

Hello ~

No, this is not me saying that I will stop writing so if you got a bit scared that I might be going on a hiatus following SHINee supposed hiatus (everyday I swear a new album, dvd whatever comes out XD) then you are wrong. 

This is going to be instead a small blog about me and something else related to my writing that I've been thinking about for a while.

First and foremost I am doing well. If you follow me for a while and read my stories you probably see my whining once in a while. Well, I still do whine sometimes but I'm feeling way better now. I've been busier with work (for people that don't know I work with kids which is the closest to hell you can be XD) and doing a lot of extra time which leaves me with less time to write. I'm trying to write 1hour/40minutes in the morning in my break and then once in a while at night for at least the same amount of time. Sometimes it's hard, I'm not inspired or simply don't have enough peace and quiet to do it. Being a person that is more inspired during the night doesn't help either since I get up super early every day and therefore I need to go to bed early (which rarely happens or I fall asleep on the couch).

Anyway after all this whining, eh...I want to say that I am doing my best to update all fics that are ongoing now. I'm forever sad that I can't do it as fast as before. I'm also trying to write shorter chapters now (and failing at that in most cases) so I can update faster. Sadly I'm afraid that might diminish the quality of the stories so I'm struggling with balancing length and quality. 

I also have this super idea of a thriller that is bubbling inside me for months now but I promised myself to let it cooking until I finish a couple more fics I have now. So it will take a while to see the light of the day. I'm a bit scared of when it will because in it one member of SHINee will be the bad guy. yup...u.u I'm going to try and do it. Can't wait to make you all suspect the boys and collect clues of the true mastermind of crime in my first SHINee thriller Agatha Christie style XDDDD

There is something else I want to discuss with you. Months ago I was saving for SHINee (still am. I must go see Jinki's first solo concert or their comeback one) and my friend suggested that I created a Ko-Pi account. For many that don't know it (I didn't at the time) it is a website where you can settle small goals and people donate to you so you can achieve it. Very similar to the crowdfunding aff has now. I created an account at the time but I felt bad asking people for donations so I never mentioned it until now. I confess that I applied for the crowdfunding platform here and I was accepted. However, since you need a business paypal things get a bit complicated. I also don't like the monthly subscription thing much. It's good for the point of view of the person receiving the donations but for me as the person donating I wouldn't like it so I'm still on the fence on this and prefer for now to not push it on you. Instead, I went back to my Ko-Pi account and decided that I might try with it. My initial goal will be buying a writing book of 7 USD I've been flirting with for a while. XD

I don't want to lie to you. I'm working. I don't have a huge pay but its enough for surviving and feed 70% of my SHINee addiction. I also save a lot since I barely go out and I have no social life. Besides bills, gas, health, food, books and SHINee I don't spend more money.

Still, I might share my Ko-Pi account for anyone that wants to support me. I will also add a list of rewards you can get if you donate. I want to give back somehow. I don't want people to see it as if you are buying something for me but more as if I'm paying you back for helping me. 

Before I do I want to know your opinion about this. Not if you will donate, but if you agree with this kind of things and if you will feel hurt if I share it or not. Just your opinion on the whole thing. I really don't want people to feel uncomfortable or pressured to donate or think that I'm ripping people off or acting as a poor creator. My content will be always 100% free and everyone will have full access to it. There won't be any exclusive content and rewards will be either spoilers for my stories or me writing you special oneshots. 

Also, I may end up not doing it or trying the one offered by aff. I'm basically not sure of anything at this point. XD

Anyway, tell me what you think about Ko-Pi and aff crowdfunding platform and what kind of rewards you would like to see if I went on with this and we can discuss this more in the next blog. 

Chu ~

PS: See why I can't shorten chapters? Look how much I wrote in this blog! It was supposed to be small! *facepalm*

PS2: I'm working on Wanted. I'm at like 60% of it. So sorry, so so sorry for the delay.

PS3: Should I have posted this on discussions? I never even noticed that exists. How does it work? XD

I am glad you are doing better. Always happy to see your updates. Jinki and Minho are the least likely vilians, in my mind Taemin would be the perfect bad guy. :-O Take care!!!

Love your stories
love the long chapters
i do not know how ko pi acct are and how to do that since i only have paymaya to be able to donate.
i dont have a Shinee addiction but i love them and sad they are going to be out for almost 2 yrs if not longer. But i pray you can get to the concert of Onew when he returns.
i am excited with the thriller but hoping its not Minho or Onew as the villain.
Rewards for the crowdfunding thing... not really necessary since its like a support right? For me just continue writing (I was so glad you are not going to hiatus)
Also, love you are working with kids as I love that too.
