Hello ASEAN Buddies...

On the first day of November, I said I wanted to complete my draft of a fiction novel because it's been a while since the last time I held my book with my name on it. That was about seven years ago, before my digital book was published. I extremly missed that moment, holding the novel with my name on it, and in these three years, I still struggle to finish my draft.
Indeed, I've been very busy with my main job lately, making it difficult to develop my fiction ideas. But this time, I had to fight with myself and force myself to finish my draft. So, what I did while off duty—well, of course, today happened to be my day off, so I could get in the right mood for writing—was reading a romance novel with a glass of iced matcha latte.

Why leave the house if you want to read and drink Matcha?
I don't know! I don't have a definite answer. I went to this small cafe just because I was in the mood, and it just so happened to be close to home, so I only brought the bare necessities: a book and my wallet. I just wanted to hone my reading instincts—it sounds strange, but that's what I did, engrossed in reading in a small cafe. I did this so that nothing could distract me from reading. To be honest, I prefer reading outside the house because I can focus better. At home, there would be so many distractions, including the ice cream vendor passing by my house, haha.

I think matcha latte and romance novels are a unique combination, but it's also a great mood booster. Moreover, there weren't many people in this cafe, so I could read quietly until my matcha latte was finished. I really enjoyed today. This was great for generating new ideas for the manuscript I'm working on.

What do you think?
Thanks in advance, to read my blog and hope you like my post!
See you on the next post...

Hi, Halo, Annyeong! Welcome to my galaxy.
I have so much imagination in my head. Something that I can't achieve as a human and as a girl. So writing is very challenging. Since Junior High School, I have written whatever I want to write. Without skill, I just write what I want to read. Now I have 12th published novels and all of those are romance.
Yeah, I proudly say that I am a passionate author, traveler wannabe, and blogger.
