I did nanowrimo one year and haven’t done it since. It wasn’t a bad experience but I really wrote rubbish. I honestly can’t remember what that ‘novel’ was about. I planned to do it this year but it’s already the 14th and I haven’t written a word.

lol… how cute. There’s preview and a 15-minute edit window? Noice…

Gosh, I really need a life. I just keep editing because I can.

Dear Ginnie,

Your story made me shed tears for no apparent reasons. It’s just so heartwarming.
Not everyday, I read/hear this kind of story. In the world of today where first b’day can be lavishly celebrated in the 5* hotel, reading your story really make me think that there are still great people with great minds out there.
Thank you ginnie, for sharing it with us all.

My first time participating in open thread!
Today I was touched by a certain person…suddenly it feels that it is always simple things in our lives that make our life worthwhile. Suddenly I feel as if what I’ve been chasing for in my life has been too short-term and complicated.

I don’t have my own blog to capture this moment…so here I am Javabeans….sharing this with you. A certain person has celebrated his son’s first birthday today and this parent gave this as a present to his son: a homegrown tomato with this few words: It is not very expensive, it is not a fun toy, but it needs just some thoughful care to grow and a little bit of luck. My child, hope that you will remember father’s first birthday gift to you.

Suddenly…I don’t know why….I feel that with this love-filled and thoughful gift, I feel that the child does not need anything else more precious than a lovely home.

Hi javabeans, would you know what is the link to YOutube of the Samsung-Anycall ad? I’m connected with advertising and i want to show it to my friends in advert too. It was superbly done, and you can tell that it’s not a computer trick coz you can still see some person who really are not in sync with the others =). Whoever the Creative people behind it are great =)

#37 PixieJewel “I make it a point to check on your site everyday, once in the morning and once again at night”

You mean, you actually manage to limit yourself to only two visits per 24 hours?? I wish I had that amount of will power. No wonder you managed to give up the coffee.

But please let’s not encourage javabeans to write novels or indeed anything else that might eat into her viewing and blogging time. There are more than enough novels around already. Whereas the planet-wide count of consistently high-quality Korean drama blogs stands right now at precisely one…

Javabean, I think you should go for the writing competition. I think you have a flare for writing, if not you would not have kept us glue to your blog week after week. I make it a point to check on your site everyday, once in the morning and once again at night. I would like to enter myself if I could only write in Korean ^_^
Forget about kicking your coffee “bugs”. I tried and like you I am tired and moody. And like you I figure why do I put myself through this and why not just enjoy the drink that I am addicted to, well that is until my stomach and my doctor specifically told me to lay off coffee or else. I am in my 2nd month now without coffee and no wonder I lost my creative juice and alittle bit of my sense of humour.
Keep the coffe going Javabean and maybe you’ll finish your story writing ….
