It’s Asian and Pacific Islander Stories celebration this month, and since many people keep forgetting I’m Asian, living in Pacific Islands, I thought I’d bang my own drums today (even if I’m fairly invisible here.)
          
          I’m a proud Nepali. I write stories I love, and recently, I’ve decided I’m done whitewashing my characters just to be accepted/seen. Going forward (since last year), I’ve resolved to only write my main characters as diverse people with at least one of them being Nepali. This journey for me started with one of my most favourite books I’ve ever written, THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF DEVI DHUNGEL. 
          
          It’s a cosy mystery and romcom married together, and I got to write a fun duo, Devi and Hector.  It takes place in a small, fictional Aussie country town. (Why Australia? Well, that’s because this coin is my home now.)
          
          I’d be chuffed if more people read it/tried it out:

          And for a fully Nepali story, try my (ongoing) contemporary romance/romcom blend, PLACES WE WILL GO (on my profile). I’ll resume this story in a few weeks. 
          
          Thanks for now. ❤️

Hi everyone, 
          I'm currently trying to do a quick edit of STONE 2 STONE before I submit to Round 3 of the ONC, which means, I've had to tweak the last two 'Her' chapters a little so that they aren't confusing (Her 9) or to enhance the creepiness and leave an open ending (Her 10). 
          
          It's a minor change in Her(9) where I establish whose POV it is early on (thanks to feedback from @bigfivedonaldduckfan). Thanks, AJ, for that feedback. 
          
          Her(10) has undergone a little more change so that it conveys the scene how I wanted it, and is no longer a complete mirror of the opening chapter. 
          
          If you read it again, I'd love to know whether you liked the changes. TYSM. 
          
          And all the best to everyone heading into Round 3!

Phew! What a day. Until yesterday, I was doubtful I would ever finish my story this ONC. And today, I don't know where I got the inspiration and the motivation from, but I hammered out the last two chapters and the epilogue. (Thank goodness the bub slept for couple of hours during the day!) 
          
          I was a fun story to write (I'm sure I say this about every story I write!) but it was a thrilling new thing to explore and experiment with. 
          
          Now, to clean up what I can and submit before the deadline! (I got this, right?!)

Hi all,
          
          I hope this morning finds you all in good health and mood.
          
          I don’t know if many of you are romcom readers/writers, but I’ve started a personal project where I vow to study as many romcoms as I can (book/movies/tv) to learn from them — so I can improve my own romcom game.
          
          I’m currently busy turning my 2020 Romance Watty winning book, for June, into a full fledged romcom, complete with meddling Ama and twin sister, and a host of awkward moments between Jun who is now a completely different person from the original — all thanks to wonderful feedback from all of you and some agents who were kind enough to give me personalised feedback.
          
          I wanted to share my blog with you all incase you want to read what I’ve been up to outside if Wattpad, and want to follow me for progress on the romcom rewrite. You can subscribe to the blog! I promise not to spam you.
          
          For my first post, I break down Ali Hazelwood’s ‘Love, Theoretically’— a much loved and hyped about STEMinist romcom by a neuroscientist! 
          
          Here’s the link:

          Hope you enjoy and feel free to give me feedback. 

I don’t know about you, but one of the most nail biting chapters I’ve written to date was the one I just posted for STONE 2 STONE! 
          
          It’s getting tense. Reina was so close to her son.
          
          What will happen next? 
          Read to find out.

Do you like myths? Do you like retellings/reimaginings? Me too! I've previously adapted fairytales but never myths, so this is my first time and I'm having fun (and hope you are too).
          
          STONE 2 STONE is a Medusa reimagining anchored in a crime novella and it's two reads away from 1k!  it's a small milestone, but a milestone nonetheless.
          
          The story has now crossed 24k words and I'm slowly but surely starting to wrap this novella up. I have no idea what word count I'll end up on, but I assume there are about 4-5 chapters left. 
          
          Can I get it done by April end? I'm sure going to try.

Hey hey folks,
          Check this story out! My friend @EvelynHail tried her hand at a mafia story inspired by her own experiences when she was younger and she’s worked extremely hard over the past few months to bring this story to you. 
          
          Please support her and head on over to read a good story by this true chameleon of a writer who can write most any genres she tries. 
          
          That’s it. That’s the message. Hope you’ll all give it a go. ❤️

Hiya Wattfriends!
          
          Sorry I took a lot longer than planned, but the next chapter of STONE 2 STONE is here. (And hopefully holds up )
          
          Reina’s son enters ‘Her’ orbit. See how that comes about.

Morning from sunny Downunder!
          I just posted the latest ‘Her’ chapter and can’t wait to see what you make of it.
          
          It’s a little different to the previous ‘Her’ chapters and I’m only slightly jealous that it doesn’t work as well as I think it does.
