Not exactly.... Hello, this is Lights, most of you don't remember me, but last year I basically had no money, no college, and nothing to aspire for in life... practically had nothing, aimless, no job/career either. I am not going to talk about the process too much on how I execute the ability to live abroad a year in Korea. Anyways, yes, I did that, and I am now on a mission this year to do the research for a historical/contemporary/saga/romance based in Seoul, that will hopefully change Korea for the better. Humanitarian effort, you may call it that. I am not writing the novel right now, but the research is need.
I dreamt of doing this last year (not in Korea at that time, but Mexico), but things don't go the way you always plan I suppose. If I can do this, I know I can write this book, since I had the move mountains to get here.
1: The Commandment of Control. My book, my thoughts, I am in control.
2: The Commandment of Entry. There is only roughly 60,000 English speaking people in Korea, where I am doing my research. How many of them are writers? Probably less than 1,000. How many will write the "type" of novel I am working on. None. My hands are tied, since I have a time restraint of 1 year, with the average 9 to 5 job (got to support my life here), but the opportunity is there.
3: The Commandment of Need. The hot topic in the world right is Korea. I am going to make it marketable for the U.S. and for Korea once it's translated. I see what the U.S. wants, and I kind of see what Korea wants as well. It involves love, war, separation, seeing eyes from another world, the night life... CNN worthy. Lifetime worthy. and even a little MTV.
4: The Commandment of Time. Research for a year, I'll write next year, book will stand for years.
5: The Commandment of Scale. It will be major in US, Korea, and that will expand.
More soon to come...
If it fails... then it'll just be one big research product that I won't ever forget. I have nothing to lose, except time, but I am enjoying my time.
