I saw God Once When I Was Little

There are several things I'd like to discuss and say sorry for during this post.

A) I have not found a job yet, but I've been busy this last month. There is a lot of family stuff that I'd rather not go into detail. Also, I've been doing volunteer work three-four times a week for the last month and a half. Usually the volunteer work is for four-six hours a day, and it's in busy non-profits.

B) I'm behind on my reading for rainbow. For that: "I'm sorry." However, I've been so busy/sleepy/occupied that I knew I couldn't fully enjoy or even understand anything I read. So, I've just not read. I plan on reading at least one thing from all the authors I follow at rainbow this weekend.

C) I haven't written a thing since I sent the first half of Surely Someday's fourth chapter to be beta'ed. However, I plan to write one mini collection for Wonderlife, one dialogue only piece for Addictions, and two or more scenes for Part 2 of Surely Someday's fourth chapter this weekend/next week.

D) I've decided to do an audio "interview" for my writing and stories. If you'd like, in the comments you can leave questions about my three stories, writing style, plots, characters, etc. You can ask as much as you like, and I'll answer them in audio form within the next two weeks. If you all like it, I'll suggest it to the rainbowlounge as maybe a fun thing authors can do.

Finally all the stories I have written for my original series, Wonderlife are in their own journal. All the stories are in time line order. I've also used tags for characters, generations, and canon/au time lines. I do hope you all check it out. It's something I love working on.

Wonderlife is a new original fic that I've been working on for over two years. I think of the story as a human drama filled with romance and some comedy. It's the story of people; a family that is formed by people whom society doesn't want. They are con artist/gamblers/etc, who are just looking for a moment of wonder in a life that is filled with anything but.


Geum Chan-wook is a middle-aged gambler, who has "adopted" seven people throughout the last twenty-two years. The stories tell of the complicated relationships within (and outside) their family, as well as the daily issues they face while trying to stay under the radar. The stories I have written so far explore the past, present, and future of this family. The stories are sometimes dark, sometimes fluffy, but always character driven.


The story is being written for the fabulous journal, runaway_tales . Sadly, you can only read the stories at the journal - because I have only posted two or three on this journal - but joining is free and is worth it.
