Nothing to Prove, Everything to Improve

How often do you see someone smile because of the book you wrote? For unknown authors like Sierra, it was one in a million. So, when she saw a man smiling while reading her book in a train in Switzerland, curiosity got the best of her. But her once-in-a-lifetime-experience moment snapped when she realized she have boarded the wrong train. She always has everything planned, everything in control. Until it slipped from her hand. And maybe this time, it's serendipity taking control. From the majestic Swiss alps of Switzerland, the romantic first snow of Seoul to the familiar beauty of the Philippines, these two strangers push and pull their red string in various places, in different times. How many hello and goodbye will it take before fate finish their tale?

A one-stop shop for writing tips, my opinions on the writing do's and don'ts, and maybe even some tea (if the shoe fits, of course). Over the years I've gotten plenty of how-to questions concerning plot, characters, setting, world building, interactions between characters, grammar... must I go on? I'm no expert, obviously, but I've done enough research to sit across the table from you and slide you some secrets while we both enjoy the beauty of the day. This could also become a review shop or plot shop at any time, so be on the lookout!
