Short Story Update

Hey, everyone. Second day of the week and trying to stay alive. I wish it's still the weekend, because I had a productive and relaxing day, despite the cramps (you know what I'm talking about, ladies).

So it is official. I just finished writing my short story for Halloween. What I am going to do is edit and polish, and post it for my next blog post. I'm doing this before Halloween, just to get that feeling starting.

And just for an update: instead of having a 3 part story, I'm making it four. Apparently, I realize that the short story that I had written was much longer than I thought. Point of fact, I have the tendency to write a lot when it comes to short stories.

So please be up-to-date on my blog post for more. And make sure to check out my novel, The White Sirens. Available on Amazon in ebook version. https://www.amazon.com/White-Sirens-S...

One Year Anniversary!!!

Hey, everyone! April is finally here. More importantly, the warm weather has come! Some of you are happy (and some are not). I for one am happy that we do not have to be stuck in the cold weather or the snow any longer, even though I loved winter. But that is not the only reason why I'm excited.

It has been one year since I became an author. It is also another year since I published my first novel, The White Sirens. To me, it's a pretty big deal, considering that I have accomplished my one goal. And I do hope to accomplish more as I grow to become a better author. Because ever since I published my first book, I have progressed on writing better. I mean, maybe my novel has been terrific and the best work I have written so far, but I know after writing so much, I have been doing much better thanks to classes I take and great feedback from both readers and authors a like. I do hope to write more in the near future.

In the meantime, I want to tell you some good news. Because it has been one year that my first book was published, I decided to have a promotional sale that will last until April 19th, starting at just $1.99. I will put the link, so you guys can get it. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to get it! It is only available on Amazon in ebook version. https://www.amazon.com/White-Sirens-S...

As for my current book that I'm working on, I am almost done, since I've been working on my edits for the past few weeks. So hang tight, readers! Once I'm done, I will get the cover and publish my work!

Anyway, hope you all will have a lovely day!

Little Update

Hey, everyone! Hope you have plans for the summer! I know I do, and I have some things in store for you. This update will not take too long. I promise.

For starters, I need to talk about how I'm progressing on my Work in Progress (WIP). A month ago, I finished writing up my novel, The Weight of Our Souls. And just now, I finished the first round of editing. However, I'm not sure how long will I get this published, so I'm afraid you guys will have to wait until I'm both done and be financially stable. In the meantime, you can always support on other works I have done, and it doesn't have to be just the books I have written (though, it would be nice. Reviews are also welcomed).

Next thing in the agenda, you might have noticed I have been posting videos on my Goodreads account. If anyone is not aware or is new here, don't worry. I'm always happy to explain. Recently, I've been working with my sister on script writing for ASMR videos. If anyone is also not aware of what it is, I will gladly explain as well.

Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a tingly feeling you get and satisfies you through a gentle touch, sound, etc. For example, someone whispering to you or playing with goo can give you a gentle feeling (yes, I said goo).

So you can feel free to check out the videos through Goodreads, or simply check out my sister's channel, which I will have the link right here. And it's not just ASMR videos I will help out with, but I will also do some voice acting there. My sister uploads her videos once a week, so do check them out. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPPL...

Oh, and if you would like to have a personal ASMR experience, my sister and I can do that for you with Ko-Fi; it is a website, where you can show your support for your favorite creators, and it's very cheap if want something done. You can request what you want from artwork to writing for just $3. If anyone wants to have one, I'm going to put a link of the page here. https://ko-fi.com/kasumiva

Lastly, I will being going away in two days, and will not be back until two weeks. I'm not sure if I will be active, but I'll see what I can do since I found out that there is internet connection from the place I'm staying (we won't know for sure yet). But in the meantime, you guys will have to wait to hear from me until I get back. And even if I have access to internet, I will be busy doing a lot of sight seeing, shopping, and visiting relatives.

Until then, take care, guys! Here's to having a happy and safe vacation!

New Year, New Changes

Hey, everyone! It's been so long since I have written a blog post, but I have decided now is the perfect timing to write one. You will see in a few seconds or so. But I do hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

I cannot believe the new year is coming so soon, and it's coming by fast. It can be exciting yet nerve-wracking. Hopefully, it will turn out okay, but you mustn't forget about the positive stuff from 2019. For instance, I was happy that I finally published the first book of Souls of Elkwood County, and I've been getting pretty good feedback. I hope to publish my second book soon because, as of right now, I'm working on that. I hope you will stay tuned for that. You can still check out The Weight of Our Souls on Amazon if you guys are interested.

Another good thing that happened to me is that I've been successful at script-writing. Ever since I started doing scripts for my sister's channel, I was feeling skeptical. But now, I've enjoyed it because so many ideas are flowing inside my head, and I want to pour out every feeling out. I've heard so much feedback whenever a video is uploaded, and that made my heart pound happily, which I'm thrilled and emotional at this point.

I will make sure to create as much as I can for guys, whether through writing books or script-writing. All you guys have to do is be patient with me. I want to let you guys know that I might be busy in the near future because of a new job I'm starting soon. I'm thrilled to have an opportunity in my hands but, at the same time, I'm nervous because I don't know how it's going to turn out. So wish me luck because I'm going to need a lot of it. Lately, I've been having so much bad luck, so you have no idea how much I'm struggling inside.

So I'm not sure how my new schedule is going to work out, but I'm going to do my best to find the time to write. However, it might not be easy when it comes to script-writing because who knows if I'll be burnt out of ideas or something. So my sister and I decided that if I'm unable to write scripts all the time, we can have scriptwriters to write for us. Meaning, we want to help them out by putting them out there unless you understand ASMR script writing.

If you haven't noticed, I post a lot of ASMR videos through my profile. So if you want to check them out, go ahead. If you're familiar with ASMR role plays, great! If not, I would suggest you check them out whether through my sister's channel or any other channels that do ASMR roleplays. I cannot explain how it works, but the best video on how to write them is from Cardlinaudio (his ASMR videos are amazing). I will give you guys the link if you want to learn how to write ASMR scripts. Overall, you're writing a story, but quite different. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPDah...

So if you do want to write a script, there are requirements:
1. No mature content
2. No violence
3. No NSFW
4. Make sure it is either PG or PG-13
5. If you want sound effects in the video, please let me know in the script, so I am aware of that.
6. If the script does not meet the requirements, then we cannot accept the script.


And one last thing, please look over grammar or spelling issues before sending over the script. You can edit and polish your work as many times as you like, so long it's something that we can understand. So many times, my sister and I look over each script, and we see that it's not edited correctly. There were even cases where I have a hard time understanding or the fact that I see how repetitive it is. So keep that as a consideration or, otherwise, we will not accept the script.

Here is the email where you can submit your script: kasumigames691@gmail.com. But overall, if you are a writer and you love writing scripts, we're giving you a chance. But if you're not a writer, you can contribute somehow by giving us suggestions on what you want to see in an ASMR video. So long as it sticks to the guidelines, we will consider it.

So that's it for me. I hope you all will have a lovely new year and that you guys will take care! I will do my best to keep you guys posted, along with creating such content for all of you. Have a great day!
