Hello, dear readers! Thank you for the warm welcome to the blogosphere!💖 I appreciate every like, comment, and follow I’ve received. I hope I always have the same giddy response to each interaction and that you continue to enjoy my posts. I’ve been intimidated by the current requirement for writers to have a “social media presence”, but y’all have made it a lot less scary. It feels doable and fun now! Blogging has also helped me develop a habit of writing something every day.

I do have to make some small changes to my blogging schedule. I’ve realized I don’t have enough energy to blog and work on my novel in the same day. So I’ve decided I’ll post on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and devote the other days to novel writing.

I also want to devote more time to studying Japanese.🇯🇵 I want to increase my mastery of reading and writing in particular. So I’ll also post on Lang-8.com once a week and copy it here. If you also speak Japanese, please join me on Lang-8! I’m Rosemerry Song (ロズメール サング) there, too. Please be patient with my mistakes. 😊

(NB: As of this writing, there’s a freeze on new sign-ups to Lang-8 while they promote their new mobile app, HiNative. So if you’re already on Lang-8, I’ll see you there! If not, I hope to see you after the freeze is lifted.)
