I felt the urge to change the wallpaper and the curtains...
          	(Read: my homepage layout.)
          	I quite like how the place looks now.

New Book Announcement | The Last Stone ▪︎ ⌈ Featuring Jay Park ⌋ 
          
          Jay possesses this infuriatingly natural ability to turn even the most ordinary cliché into something that refuses to be ignored. The mere appearance of a new photo series is often enough to set an entire novel in motion in my mind, and I now spend a concerning amount of time resisting the urge to bring every single idea to life (ideas that, for the moment, behave and remain locked away in my drafts, waiting, perhaps, for their turn to be summoned).
          
          A few days ago, one of my script, The Last Stone, demanded my attention more insistently than the others (undeniably helped by the photo that claimed its place on the book’s cover).
          
          So, what is this story about?
          Among the (many!) hashtags, one may catch your eye: #wrongnumber. 
          Yes, the story does begin there, with that familiar premise. But I have no intention of stopping where expectations usually do.
          This is a story that starts with a wrong number, and then deliberately wanders... elsewhere. 
          (In other words: if you’re expecting a narrative told entirely through text messages, this won’t be that.)
          
          Of course, I find it difficult to stray too far from my "signature": protagonists with heavy hearts, sharp humor, and an impressive talent for misunderstanding if not ignoring their own emotions. This time, however, the universe leans slightly darker than usual.
          
          Jay appears here more magnetic, more mysterious, and more captivating than I have ever allowed him to be. 
          I can only hope his presence will resonate with you as deeply as it unsettled me while shaping the first chapters.
          
          I’ll stop here before I reveal more than I should. 
          So... Happy reading, everyone.

New Book Announcement | Blue Heart ▪︎ ⌈ Featuring Bang Chan ⌋ 
          
          Loving to write doesn’t prevent us, as many of you have probably already noticed with obvious pleasure (ironic)… from suffering the terrible affliction that is the-damn-writer’s block.
          
          Sadly, right now, I’m feverishly affected while working on Blind Fate.
          I stumble, I write, then erase, then rewrite. I hunt for words, but they keep escaping me the same way the sun escapes the panorama in Christmas photographs.
          Let’s just say that after a while, spinning my wheels grows tiresome, and I need a change of scenery…
          
          I must admit, I hadn’t expected writer’s block (who ever does?), but in the very last chapter I published, I had considered, completely randomly, a sort of crossover between Blind Fate and my next novel. 
          Mentioning Bang Chan was supposed to be just a tiny hint and I had no concrete idea yet of the story that would animate my next Wattpad project.
          
          But I always have so many ideas in my head that it’s hard not to be tempted to start a new story almost… every week!
          And as new characters have been taking shape in my mind for a few days already, or should I say… a few nights, the urge became simply too strong to resist.
          
          So here it is…
          My new novel, Blue Heart, starring Bang Chan (… please!) as a famous model and actor.
          You’ll read more about the blurb in the chapter “Setting the Stage”.
          My heroine’s traits: she will appear here with a well-tempered personality and a sharp humor (who said "as always"?).
          And the main ingredient of all my stories, whether they end happily or tragically, is, of course… love.
          
          Happy reading, everyone!

Also...
            You’ll notice that Keanu Reeves joins the story. 
            Well, he seemed quite pleased with the script, especially since I agreed to include his three cats… and I granted him the privilege of being particularly amusing, so he simply couldn’t say no.
            (I’m almost embarrassed to say such things, given how much I admire him… Keanu, please, don’t read these lines, okay?)

⍾ When a story captivates its author... ⍾
          
          Today, as I published chapter 12bis* of Blind Fate, I realized I had already written almost 15 chapters to narrate only... two days. Ouch. 
          As you might have guessed, yes... it simply means I love details.
          
          But I won’t lie... just as much as I love writing Blind Fate, it’s hard not to feel the pull of my other published stories, not wanting to let them gather dust, or even worse (or better?!) the urge to start a brand-new one.
          And while typing this message, I counted no fewer than 19 plots quietly waiting to bloom into novels on my feed. Which is kind of... terrifying, I must admit.
          
          That said, I’ve been receiving so many votes for Blind Fate...
          It’s a first for me, and it truly means a lot.
          So I just wanted to leave a little note here to say thank you. 
          And I hope you’ll enjoy what’s coming just as much!
          
          Happy reading, everyone!
          
          *You’ll notice the same in all my novels: I never publish a chapter 13.

            May I keep that answer somewhere between the mysterious and the inexplicable? 
            
            Other than that, and as you asked… I finally have access to my drafts again, so a new post should be coming soon.
            I still love Blind Fate and Jay & Dan, but lately, I’ve been struggling to write something that feels both coherent and engaging. 
            I was all the more frustrated by the recent Wattpad bugs as they came just when I finally felt like writing.
            
            And you... have you found any time to write amid all your exams?

@TheJaylineEffect  Honestly, I’ve had this question lingering on my mind every time I pass by your profile... why don’t you ever write a chapter 13? Why a chapter ‘12bis*’ instead? I’m curious. (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

@YoonnieSerio16 
            
            ⑇ Thank you for such a sweet message ⑇
            
            Writing Blind Fate is a real joy, and I’m truly touched that the story is finding even the tiniest bit of success... it already means so much to me.
            I’m also doing my best to keep moving forward with your book "Until The End"; free time is painfully scarce these days, but whenever I can steal a moment, I dive in with genuine pleasure.
            I can’t wait to read more!
            
            Thank you for stopping by, and I wish you plenty of inspiration and joy in your own writing!

          I never would have suspected that Jay and Dan could keep me so hooked! 
          Meanwhile, my other novels are gathering a bit of dust... sorry to the readers still waiting for new chapters! 
          Hopefully, I’ll find some time soon to breathe new life into each story.
          
          Happy reading, everyone!

New Book Announcement | Short Stories ⏛ Vol. 2 ▪︎ ⌈ Featuring Jay Park ⌋ 
          
          After some hesitation*, the need for freshness⏤often brought by a new cover⏤proved stronger than reason, and I finally decided to publish this new short story as part of Volume 2.
          
          At this point, I believe it’s almost pointless to justify myself.
          Anyone who lets their eyes wander across my homepage will surely find it as obvious as 2+2=4 that I’m inspired by a certain someone... and that this inspiration often demands a form of novelty.
          
          The concept of these short stories remains the same: picking a random photo from my⏤cough⏤huge database and letting inspiration guide me.
          Honestly, it’s getting wild these days, as Jay’s recent busy news give me literal cramps in my fingers because I just want to write.
          Whether it’s Jaeger-LeCoultre, Ralph Lauren, or his cover of Always, just to name a few... the part of my brain devoted daily to writing knows it will never truly rest!
          But this is no real complaint... writing remains, for me, one of the best ways to escape reality.
          
          That being said, I should note that all the short stories are written from the heroine’s point of view [as it always has been].
          This way of building the narrative isn’t easy, but I fully embrace it, which means every action, every situation, every event comes from the heroine’s thoughts or experiences.
          So you won’t hear Jay’s POV, though, sometimes, I’m clearly dying to let readers in on what’s going on in his heart or mind.
          It’s a very particular literary style, sometimes frustrating, but I take it as a writing challenge!
          
          I hope you’ll enjoy these new [short] adventures of Jay!
          Happy reading, everyone!
          
          ⏤
          *Because, honestly, what was stopping me from publishing this new story in the existing collection, right?

New Book Announcement | Blind Fate ▪︎ ⌈ Featuring Jay Park ⌋
          
          It’s been quite a while since I last stopped by here⏤whether to post a note on my CB or update one of my stories...
          
          I’m taking advantage of a rare lull in a schedule desperately lacking in breathing room to share a new story.
          
          Jay’s recent spotlight⏤especially with his long-awaited (and well-deserved) collaboration with Ralph Lauren⏤clearly gave me a spark of inspiration. 
          But let’s be honest: with him, inspiration is never too far away. Whether it’s subtle or glaringly obvious, it’s always there… and you won’t hear me complain.
          
          This time, the idea is to explore a relationship that starts from the premise that absolutely nothing is meant to bring the two characters together.
          They don’t hate each other.
          They are just both completely… sealed off from the idea of love.
          
          ⏛
          
          While I’m at it, I want to send a quick apology to readers waiting for updates.
          I usually follow a personal writing rule that’s helped me stay consistent: never publish unless I’ve already written at least 10 chapters.
          That strategy recently backfired, though, as I kept rewriting, rewording, or worse⏤falling out of love with the plot entirely.
          
          And that’s the worst, because then the inevitable happens: the stories gather dust and never make it to... The End.
          
          I truly hope I’ll regain enough trust in my previous works⏤each of which I still cherish⏤to finally move them forward… and finish them.
          
          ⏛
          
          Back to Blind Fate⏤pun very much intended⏤only fate itself could have brought Jay Park and Dan Rider face to face.
          Two fiercely independent characters, immune to charm, unimpressed by theatrics…
          But scratch the surface, and you’ll find they both⏤each in their own way⏤are starved for tenderness.
          
          Oh, and yes⏤Heeseung is in the mix. And obviously, he’s blond. How could he not be?
          
          Happy reading!
