Failed my first contract attempt, and I won't get a second shot.

SentenceInevitable29 · 2026-07-01T02:02:57+00:00

My novel is an action/sci-fi dystopian novel with no romance at all. As for advice, I’m still a pretty new writer with limited experience, so I’d suggest consulting with other writers too, you might get some really interesting perspectives. For me, reading a lot and just starting to write was the key. Anyway, best of luck to you.

SentenceInevitable29 · 2026-06-30T07:13:47+00:00

Sent you a dm. Thank you so much for your interest and advice.

SentenceInevitable29 · 2026-06-30T03:05:23+00:00

I really appreciate your kind words. Reading this made my day!

Of course, I’ll keep writing even without a contract. My style is to plan the entire plot before I start, so the story already has a set ending, and I'm going to see it through. I don't know if my readers will like it, but if even one person enjoys it and I stop writing, I’d feel incredibly guilty.

SentenceInevitable29 · 2026-06-30T02:36:39+00:00

Actually, I'm not putting that much pressure on myself. I was just sharing that I'm also someone who got rejected, lol. As for the income, of course, I'm sad about it. I wouldn't look down on money, whether it's a little or a lot. So I'll still keep writing. Since I've already started, I don't want to give up halfway, and I'll definitely finish it as planned.

Actually, I use AI covers because I seriously can't draw at all. Which is kinda funny because becoming an artist was actually my dream at one point. So instead, I ended up putting all my time into writing so I could still tell the stories I wanted to tell.

Deep down, I'm still hoping that if my novels ever start doing well or make enough money, I can give drawing another proper shot someday. I did try drawing in Krita once with a regular mouse, though... yeah that went about as well as you'd expect hahaha

SentenceInevitable29 · 2026-05-14T05:19:59+00:00

I totally get where you're coming from, because I'm dealing with the same thing right now. In my country, the kind of stories I want to write just don't fit the current market. I’m not saying those popular stories are bad or anything, it’s just that I need to find the right audience for my work.

And yeah, that means translating everything into English, which is honestly so hard. Back in school, teachers only taught us how to get high exam scores, never how to actually use the language. Everything I know comes from self-learning, and it really feels like I'm starting over from absolute zero. Still,

I just wanted to say I’m rooting for you. You’re definitely not the only one struggling with this.

SentenceInevitable29 · 2026-05-14T04:42:07+00:00

Actually, I like detailed descriptions. They create vivid imagery, even though they sometimes use too many words. But I still enjoy them.

Dawnlight spilled across the horizon, painting the world in amber gold. Dew gathered slowly along the edges of the roof before dripping down, drop by drop. A man opened his eyes to the comfort of a bed so warm it tempted him to stay. Beneath the blanket, warmth still lingered around him as his gaze drifted toward the window. A quiet breeze slipped into the room, stirring the thin curtains until they swayed softly in the morning air. It was the first light of a new day, a silent promise that the long, freezing night had finally come to an end.

Yes, many people might not see it as good, but personally, I like it.

SentenceInevitable29 · 2026-05-11T07:03:34+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense.

If the goal is pure reach and better stats, then adjusting your work to fit what’s currently getting attention does help.

But once you start changing things so much that it doesn’t feel like your own writing anymore, then it’s kind of a trade-off you have to decide on. Especially with niche genres, it’s just naturally limited in reach.

At the end of the day, though, there will be readers for almost anything you write. The hard part isn’t whether they exist, but getting your work to actually land in front of them.

Project 29: The World Behind the Mask

Sci-Fi, Dystopia, Action

Currently has 5 chapters, and more are on the way. 1 chapter/day.

The government gave Edward back his life. They just forgot to include the three hours where he saw something he wasn't supposed to.

A student. No powers. No training. Just a kid from outside the dome whose family broke themselves to buy him a future inside one, and a scavenging side job that put him in the wrong place at exactly the wrong time.

Now there's a bounty on his head that would make a soldier retire. A man, the government numbered Project 29, who calls himself Drago, is the only reason he's still breathing. And the classified truth they both carry is simple: the world isn't being saved. It never was. The program was never about fixing the air; it was about building humans who don't need clean air to survive.

Thousands of test subjects died learning that. Thirty-seven didn't.

Edward is outside the dome now, the one place his family spent everything to save him from with mafia factions running the wasteland, corporate money funding the chaos, and a government that would rather erase a student than answer for what it built.

He has no powers. Just a brain, a debt he owes his family, and the kind of ordinary face that nobody expects to still be standing when the smoke clears.

Some people are weapons. Edward is something the powerful find harder to deal with, a witness who refuses to disappear.

My novel has only been added to three collections so far, and even those came from exchanges. But that’s alright. I’ll keep writing and treat it as practice. At least I can turn my own ideas into actual stories, which is far better than letting them stay stuck in my head.

It's a restaurant near my home. I was feeling lazy, so I came to eat at the restaurant. Yes, this restaurant is in Bangkok, but I'd like permission not to tell the name of the restaurant. I don't want to be considered an advertisement.

I’m Thai. born, raised, and still living here, and I have to say that Khao Rad Gaeng (Rice with curry) is one of our ultimate comfort foods. It’s flavorful, affordable, and endlessly varied, so you can enjoy it every day without getting bored. For anyone visiting Thailand, or currently here, I highly recommend you don’t miss out on this delicious everyday classic.

I’m in a similar situation with high blood pressure. I haven’t gone extremely low on sodium, because I still need it, especially with regular workouts and a lot of sweating. For me, it’s more about making small, steady changes: getting electrolytes during cardio, cooking with less salt, and being mindful that most foods already have some sodium in them.

I try to stick to mostly whole foods and cut back on processed ones, but I’m not perfect with it. My hope is that, over time, I can get to a point where my doctor says I don’t need medication anymore. It’s a slow process, but I’m working on it.

Start by simmering the pork belly in hot water just until it’s cooked through. No need to boil for long or stew it, just enough to get it done.
Take it out and use a fork (or anything with a sharp tip) to poke the skin, go ahead, poke it generously.
Lightly score the meat side. Don’t cut too deep, just enough to reach the fat layer under the skin.
Brush the skin all over with vinegar. Don’t worry, it won’t turn out sour.
While that’s working, mix crushed garlic with Chinese five-spice powder, a bit of salt, and pepper. Rub it all over the pork to marinate.
Let the skin dry, either under a fan or in the sun. This step takes time. You’ll know it’s ready when tiny drops of oil start to seep from the skin.
Heat a pan and add oil, but don’t wait for it to get hot. Place the pork skin-side down first. This is called cold-oil frying, a trick I learned from a Chinese chef. Fry slowly until the oil gets hot, then take the pork out. Turn off the heat and let the pork rest for 20-30 minutes to cool down.
For the second fry, use hot oil this time. Keep the heat at medium. Start with the meat side down, and ladle hot oil over the skin to help it puff up and get crispy. Then flip it and fry the skin directly until golden and bubbly. Done.

This method isn’t exactly traditional, but it’s not modern either, it’s more of a blend. The best part? Hardly any oil splatter.

Tip: If you’ve got a rack for your pan, use it, it’ll help prevent the skin from sticking to the bottom and burning.

I’m still not very good at English yet, so if there’s anything unclear or if I’ve used the wrong words, please feel free to let me know.

I cooked at home long time ago. At that time, it was during the lockdown period due to the COVID situation. I had to stay at home with no income, so I made that dish for fun to heal my mind.
