Always You – Shorts by Sui

Happy February!

It’s good to celebrate small milestones! This year, I’m determined to give my writing the attention it deserves, no matter what! And so far, I’ve managed to ~~upload three short stories onto smashwords~~ I’ve managed to upload these shorts in an anthology on Amazon. The anthology is called “The Arrival of Spring: An Anthology of Four Heart-Stirring MMRomance Stories“. They are oldies, (meaning, they were written before) but they never had e-books before. I couldn’t seem to find the time before to upload them. Now, I’m glad that this is done.

This last short – Always You, Only You, is a story that came to be because of a close friend. I struggled with the ending, yep, this happens at times. There are those endings that just won’t come easily. However, no matter how much I read through it, these two characters, Miki and Shin, just won’t have it any other way. Oh well, enjoy this little departure from my usual endings.

February comes with new goals. I hope to write a new story for valentine’s day this year. I’m in the mood for romance, and I hope you are too!

On a side note, here is a pride of lions to make you smile. Family runs strong here. Hehehe, went on a safari adventure and ran into these guys! Whoa! Exciting and exhilarating! They truly bring life into perspective.

Have a fabulous weekend,

Cheers,

Sui.

Shorts by Sui – The Unexpected Gift

Mid-January! The year is fifteen days old. I hope you have done at least one exciting thing. You just need the one to get started, then the second one comes easier.

From my desk, here is another short story to read called The Unexpected Gift of Love. The are two short stories available on gayauthors.org. The Unexpected Gift of Love came to be because of a prompt response from Gayauthors.org. I post some of my work-in-progress stories on this site and it has become an invaluable writing resource over the years.

Back to the story, Ren Hill faces a personal betrayal that breaks his family in half. He must find a way to move ahead and protect his teenage twins from heartbreak. Ryan, who has always liked Ren, has the hard job of convincing Ren to give him a chance.

The Unexpected Gift of Love was a look at divorce and the impact it can have. I think that commitment is such an important aspect in relationships, it requires effort, and sometimes that effort just fails. What a disappointment that turns into! Do check out this little story.

You’ll find a shorter bonus story called Monday Evenings, Thursday Dinner and Sunday Afternoon. The cutest, funnest story, I love it. It makes me smile, I hope it does you. Do you ever have days when, after you fight with your friend, your boyfriend, your partner…family, you spend your time thinking the worst of the situation? You walk around continuing the fight in your head, it escalates to great levels and when you meet the person you were fighting with later, your anger sort of dissipates. And you wonder, why was I so pissed? Well, this story is about that kind of situation. Reed and Kristos have a fight and….go read it!

Alright, I hope your January is going well, that it’s fantastic, and only good things are coming to you.

Look out for the last of this Shorts by Sui Last week of January.

Story Shorts – Little Stories that Make you Smile

Happy New Year!

I hope the year has started with good vibes for you. I’m also sending you good vibes, right now. 2018 is here, 2 years to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Strange thing to remember, but I’m actually looking forward to that.

January should be celebrated. There are so many fresh new starts. You can do anything in January. For me, I’m greeting you with a Short Story, neatly compiled into an e-book for your enjoyment. I hope you enjoy it!

The title of this short story is ‘Do You Know?’. This is a story about Saki Masashi, a Tokyo University art student, in his final year. His powerful older brother suddenly pulls him out of Tokyo Uni., and sends him to the U.S. to enroll into Alexander University. Saki has had to deal with his older brother treating him this way all his life. In response to his brother’s cold shoulder attitude, Saki decides to fill his life with warm, memorable moments.

I loved writing this story because it was about seeking out those moments in life that make you happy. Smiles can come from things, (nothing feels right unless I have coffee from my favorite chipped mug) activities, (I garden to find my smiles when they disappear), and people. I’m sure there are those people who fill you up with warmth, just by them calling you or sending you a message to ask about soy sauce. (Hehehe)

Do You Know? is part of an mmromance anthology called ‘The Arrival of Spring’.

Look out for more of these short stories.

A Trio Again – The Peanut Gallery

And, we’re Back!

I bet you have no idea who we are, but when Sui first started writing….four years ago?…No, I think it has been five years now, since 2012. Hold on while I lose my marbles. Five Years! Stupendous! We are Sui’s peanut gallery, and would push her into writing and posting because she was so shy and unsure of her work. I still remember reading, That Dog, Young Jae, and smiling because I thought she had a lot more to give, and it would be amazing. Well, the We is Scot and Moon. Sui’s original fans.

We lived with her then for over a year or two…after she started writing and publishing it

Some Idiot made a joke the other day. Said our names are short for SMS – Short Messaging Services….I was stunned! Stunned! – Moon

out. Around 2014, we all had a displacement. Our jobs are not easy to deal with, we’re constantly on the move, or setting out on adventures across different parts of this strange planet. We separated, and Sui sort of moved from here to there, and here to there….okay, she moved a lot. Now, we’re having an incredibly time as we’ve all managed to circle back to living in one house together. Yass!

We’re older, stranger…definitely not wiser, just hurt and learned to hide it better, deal better. Sui, my dear friend, has written so much, we’re amazed and stunned and awed, and of course teasing her silly for her dedication. Hence, the Peanut Gallery has decided to join Sui’s blog, and basically, jump and down here and there, spilling on adventures, activities, and insane things Sui is always up to in between all the writing. Hoping our time together takes us longer than two years this time.

Scot: Should we talk about falling in love? All our mothers are worried about us still being single?

Moon: I’m worried about still being single…

Scot: laughing. (Moon input: he laughs like a mad man) I at least have a willing candidate. Though dating is seriously the new-already-married.

Moon: Rubbing your happiness on us, you’re evil you know. Sui’s mother is the most frightening. She thinks Sui is going to petrify from being single.

Scot: (Immitating Sui’s softy voice) Yah! You crazy bastards, I’m a happy single woman, stop backstabbing me behind my back.

Moon: More like a crazed woman who is married to her keyboard and the billions of characters swimming in her brain. We still love her though. And you, who is reading this.

This strange band will keep you posted on the new stories on Sui’s desk, and the fun activities we might get into living in our new spiffy home in Nairobi. An uber green place, a quiet place, but seriously…I miss the beach in Diani, so we might visit there often. And share pictures. Nothing is more healing than the sun rising over the sparkling blue ocean. So,…Okay, we’re done with this introduction. In case you see strange posts on Sui’s blog and wonder who has hacked this space, don’t worry, it’s just one of us (Scot or Moon), or both of us.

Now, after this raging intro – We’re off to celebrate Chuseok! Happy Korean Thanksgiving! Lots of food and tasting Sui’s songpyeon. Will tell you if we got sick eating Sui’s cooking. Its a 50/50 with this one. Meanwhile, we take three days off and pretend we don’t have jobs, and simply laze around. Sui-noona you’re not allowed to edit this part out!

‘Til Next Time.
