SeoJin's mother, who runs the household in place of her late father, her eldest daughter, SeoJin, her younger brother, UiJin, and SeoJin. They bicker in their poor, cramped home, but they have grown up in friendship and love. As adults, SeoJin and JiWoo become independent and left their hometown, but even in the city, they live in each other's neighbourhood. Although they have known each other for a long time, they have never looked at each other as a man and a woman. They just maintain a strong friendship, being there for each other when they need each other. On a winter night with Christmas just around the corner, their relationship begins to change when JiWoo unexpectedly asks SeoJin out on a Christmas date. We always make choices. And what we lose and what we gain in return. Here is a woman torn between choices. Torn between a best friend and the love of her life. #contemporary #modernSetting #mistake #friendsToLover #firstLove #calmAndQuiet #healingHeart * This short story of Romance is translated from from the original Korean short web-novel. (text only, no illustration) Tables Of Contents Title Page Body Content Copyright (81 pages in approx. print length) Preview Friday nights at the end of the year were noisy everywhere they went. SeoJin was there. What began this summer with a relatively long-running cast in a modest role ended at the end of this year. The results were good. It was quite topical on social media and received a lot of favorable reviews. When a movie was dubbed, many people grumbled about the voice actors but watched it anyway. Considering that, it was a result that exceeded expectation. It was only natural that SeoJin would drink at a year-end party. SeoJin was a second-year freelance voice actress. If she adds up with the career at companies, it would soon be the fifth year. SeoJin was steadily building her own career. When she was full-time, the roles she played were well received, so fortunately, she became a freelancer and her career was not interrupted. Even so, like everyone at first, the first year was difficult because of the low income from the occasional job. She couldn't open her hands to her parents, so she made up for her scarce living expenses with the money she had saved steadily, and when she was struggling, she even worked short-term part-time jobs. Compared to that kind of life, she was grateful for this moment when she completed the long-term program safely and well. "Well done, SeoJin. It was a bit of a big part this time, wasn't it?" "Yes, you as a senior voice actress have taught me well, so I was able to learn a lot." "Don't take me to the sky. I'm not fooled by that." "SeoJin, Don't believe that, even if you say something like that, his expression is too good." As time went on, the party was getting rowdier. SeoJin was almost the youngest in her career, so she was trying not to get drunk, but the people sitting next to her drank the sprits a lot they asked her to do so, and she was slowly losing her mind. As the time drew on, the sound of people leaving the room little by little came out, and SeoJin sneaked out into the bathroom. She put her hands on her hot face and looked in the mirror. Instead of turning red when she drank, she turned white, so it was easy for everyone to misunderstand that she was a good drinker. She wasn't a bad drinker, but that didn't mean she was okay with drinking a lot. She was barely able to keep her mind off because she was secretly taking care of herself by drinking water from the side, but otherwise she would have gotten drunk properly. SeoJin washed her hands in the cold water. She thought of washing her hands in ice-cold water to keep her senses. Ringing. When the phone rang shallowly, she took out the phone and checked the screen, and there was a familiar name. For a moment, she remembered the text she got to leave him a message earlier. She didn't even call him, but if she didn't answer this call, she would probably hear the storm of nagging, so she quickly pressed the call button before it hung up. "... Hello-ish." [What. Are you drunk?] "A little. Hehe..." It was a bit of a reproachful tone, but he didn't seem to be angry, so SeoJin relaxed a little. Perhaps it was because she was relaxed, but a light laugh came out of her mouth because of the surge of alcohol. A small sigh came over the phone. [You're going home soon, what's the name of the bar.] "Here? ... Here... 'Desk Drawer'!" [Luckily it's nearby, I'll' call you and answer it, I'll wait for you in front of the bar.] "Yes. Mother."

Book Description
Can you fall in love like they do in the movies? It's Evie Summers's job to find out. Because if she can't convince her film agency's biggest client, Ezra Chester, to write the romantic-comedy screenplay he owes producers, her career will be over. The catch? He thinks rom-coms are unrealistic--and he'll only put pen to paper if Evie shows him that it's possible to meet a man in real life the way it happens on the big screen. Cynical Evie might not believe in happily ever after, but she'll do what it takes to save the job that's been her lifeline . . . even if it means reenacting iconic rom-com scenes in public. Spilling orange juice on a cute stranger? No problem. Leaving her number in books all over London to see who calls? Done. With a little help from her well-meaning friends--and Ben and Anette, the adorable father-daughter duo who keep witnessing her humiliations--Evie is determined to prove she can meet a man the way Sally met Harry. But can a workaholic who's given up on love find a meet-cute of her very own?

Romancing the Beat

Pages : 0
Book Description
What makes a romance novel a romance? How do you write a kissing book?Writing a well-structured romance isn't the same as writing any other genre-something the popular novel and screenwriting guides don't address. The romance arc is made up of its own story beats, and the external plot and theme need to be braided to the romance arc-not the other way around.Told in conversational (and often irreverent) prose, Romancing the Beat can be read like you are sitting down to coffee with romance editor and author Gwen Hayes while she explains story structure. The way she does with her clients. Some of whom are regular inhabitants of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.Romancing the Beat is a recipe, not a rigid system. The beats don't care if you plot or outline before you write, or if you pants your way through the drafts and do a "beat check" when you're revising. Pantsers and plotters are both welcome. So sit down, grab a cuppa, and let's talk about kissing books.

Book Description
The Story Behind THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE If you've read his books THE WAR OF ART and TURNING PRO, you know that for thirty years Steven Pressfield (GATES OF FIRE, THE AFGHAN CAMPAIGN etc.) wrote spec novel after spec novel before any publisher took him seriously. How did he finally break through? Ignoring just about every rule of commercial book publishing, Pressfield's "first" novel not only became a major bestseller (over 250,000 copies sold), it was adapted into a feature film directed by Robert Redford and starring Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron. Where did he get the idea? What magical something did THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE have that his previous manuscripts lacked? Why did Pressfield decide to write a novel when he already had a well established screenwriting career? How does writing a publishable novel really work? Taking a page from John Steinbeck's classic JOURNAL OF A NOVEL, Steven Pressfield offers answers for these and scores of other practical writing questions in THE AUTHENTIC SWING.
