everything has its first time

and i guess this is mine.
hi, everyone....or someone.....or somehow reach to this article....
im a writer in Korea who has 3 books published.
(yes, so if you find my english not very accurate, in my defense, i never studied in abroad or anything)
(Hollywood has been my english tutor)
although my story didnt go like all this rainbow successful the secret like stories.
im just a freelanced writer like any other normal ones in all over the world; struggling with how to balance with reality and how to survive paying all the bills etc....
these days im trying to find a job that pays regularly also more freelanced writings but as you know life never offers you what you want; oh no offence to those who got perfect lives but hey unfortunately im just not in your league, so i have to somehow find my way to go through no matter what.

anyway, back to the topic....
despite the fact im none-english mother tongue person, the reason i decided to write in english is because when ever my book comes out foreign friends of mine ask me 'is there going to be an english version?' and my answer is 'no.'
unfortunately in korea, people dont read. its quite serious issue. i know it is world wide phenomenon but here in korea it is truly bad and then english language has a lot bigger number than korean language.
i love to write and thats probably only one thing i can do without get horribly bored.
"if not many people read my stories in korean why not try write in english?"
i had that sentence in my heart for ages, but i havent dare... and then now i feel it, it is the time.
im going to start writing in english.

then there was another question.
"what should i write?"
to be honest, i have few stuff in my mind, but they seem a bit overwhelming as a beginner so i decided to write on my drawing journal.
that will contain my life story as a writer, how i am surviving in this tough world.

something like this;

thats me pretty much all the time when i work or write.
i dont know why, but whenever i work too much my hair starting to stick out like pig tail and im a tea junkie so i need tea all the time somewhere around me and of course my desk in reality is a lot more messy but good side of recreate your world into sketch book, you can delete few items you dont wanna show. :p
that day i worked 12 hrs. (downside of freelancer; your time is not yours when you have project)

well, i have no clue what am i doing right now and if there actually will be anybody who will read this but in case there is, thank you so much for reading so far. im going to keep on doing this for while until i figure out when will it be the right moment to write something more serious.
see you next time.

p.s.
the northern hemisphere is suffering severe coldness and the southern hemisphere is suffering severe hotness hope we all will survive and get through this well.
also we might seriously need to think about what we have done wrong to the earth and find a way to make it better.
