Hey, I guess it’s a new year revolution for me, writing a fictional story. To me, writing was mostly an academic chore to do. Only when I got my first job as a content writer (which I no longer have. RIP) I got to discover the joy of writing for the fun of it (and getting paid).

When I first started this blog. You’d notice how awkward and painfully stiff my writing is. You know what. I’m never deleting those posts. I think it’s great for my future self to have a look at where I started.

I am aware that some of the bloggers that I follow on WordPress are full on seasoned writers. When I first discovered that, oh my. How astonished I was. Some of you even started writing since, I don’t know, 2008? I was still in elementary school, failing math.

Suffice to say, some of you guys are also my inspiration why I decided to commit to one more hobby. Yes, I am a dragon in the cave of hobbies. Hoarding all the activities that I can get my hands on and my wallet can afford. My precious! Wait… wrong character.

Overtake! and Steam are mostly responsible for my recent absence, though. Oh, I am currently addicted to Motorsport Manager. I just couldn’t help it, since the 85% off deal sounds almost too good to be true. Turns out, Mr. Komaki is right guys, making money as a small team is hard. My motors aren’t motoring, and I, as a manager, am not managing. PAIN! But, I love this game.

Aside from that, the main reason why I started writing fiction from now on is I recently caught up to an old friend. Have you ever had someone whose life is basically the phrase, “Yup, girl… You’re a shoujo manga protagonist.”? Well, this is how I feel about this friend of mine.

Even as I am writing this post and recalling her stories, I want to do backflips out of sheer disbelief and shock. And guess what, when I said I’d like to turn her romantic pain and suffering into a hobby, she said I should go for it. Yay! Of course, I put some twists and anonymity into the characters and the story. I think it’s just the right thing to do.

Interestingly, I don’t know how, but her stories came down to my mind in A Sign Of Affection‘s art style. I guess, it’s because of the similar university settings? I haven’t even read the manga.

So, anyway. You can read the first part of my fiction. It might suck. Well, it should be, it’s my first time actually committing into writing a story after all. This is the link for my story on Wattpad.

I think I can update the story every week or two. I have more ideas for the story and I just need to get to writing it down. After I get some better lap times on this darn Motorsport Manager. I’ll update the progress on this blog as well. Cheers!
