Sometimes I get the urge to write an introduction to a novel idea or short story as it overwhelms me to actually plot something and continue on with an already half written story. I’m soon going to get back to finishing my second novel idea and find I procrastinate by trying to better what I have already written so I don’t need to rewrite as much when that part of the writing period arrives. My brain gets ahead of me where I start thinking about the cover design and how much I should edit and then rewrite my story. I think of the next novel idea which will be my third book I hope to write this year and self-publish. Here’s a procrastination I did a few days ago. Anyway, time to get to writing no matter how shitty it is in my first try. I know I’m bad at looking and supporting other people’s websites and blogs. I’m going to try hard to devote more time this year to do more browsing/surfing on WP versus FB or Yahoo. With this in mind, cheers to everyone in 2026!

When Mi Cha stood next to her soon to be husband at their small wedding, there was excitement and apprehension coursing through her body. She did not know this would be the worst mistake in her entire life, including the time she had lied to her parents. Her mother and father had instilled in her to be honest, faithful, and a dutiful girl in their family. They wanted her to grow into an honest woman that would be loving and loyal to whomever chose her for a bride. There was never a doubt in either one of Mi Cha’s parents they would not raise a child to dishonor and disobey her duty as a childbearing woman.
As she held her breath during the moments when she glanced at Kang Dae, his eyes exuded a kind of darkness she had never seen before in any Korean man. The notice of this sent jolts of lighting throughout her nervous system. She recognized her predicament more than ever. She had not seen this earlier in their interactions. Even if she wanted to back out of marrying Kang Dae, there was no turning back. Thinking about this was just as dangerous as taking action. Speaking of it would surely cause shame and grief for her whole family. She did not want to think about for any period of time but each time her soon to be husband spoke her doubt increased that by the time the ceremony was finished, her nerves were holding her brain and body hostage. Fear is powerful commander and Mi Cha had little recourse to change the situation unfolding around her in all directions.
