Mainly on Writebox (It had just redesigned its interface recently, still keeping the same minimalist style though). Occasionally Google Doc.
What I Worked on and Am Working On
Let's be honest. I'd not been writing that robustly. As much as I wanted to, I just didn't feel like it. I find it hard to put one words after another. The sentence was supposed to make sense, but I just couldn't give it life. I'm infested with a deep remorse, about not writing properly, and not earning money for my family. I felt like I was wasting my time.
Is this depression?
lol
Sorry, I just had to do this. I'm fine, just trolling.
I'm a few chapters in on my novel, and I just can't move on. The story I outlined is beginning to have that kind of amateur smell all over it. I don't want it spoiled to waste. So I'm taking my time, reconsidering my options about what story I should really tell--one would interest my readers, and myself.
I'm still working on the story for submission to The New Yorker, let's say it's a story about a group of six hunting rat in Lan Kwai Fong.
Why I Write
I write to live in the life I don't live, to speak in the voice I don't speak.
Where I Write
In my own room in front of the Acer C720 Chromebook.
And other imaginary spaces I conjured upon writing.

Am I studying
Obviously YES.
I am currently enrolled into several MOOC(Massive Open Online Course)provided by edX and Coursera.
Nothing serious about these two, just checking out the materials they're offering.

Ich würde gerne der Grund für deine schlaflose Nacht sein.

It has been eight month. I felt like I've burned out from writing. Maybe what I should do is to write till I bled, then I'll learn the craft tentatively with patient.
Full time writer making no a cent.
~15,000 words short fictions, ~3,000 words blog and other writings.
So long. Peace off.
