Well, it's been like uh...a century since I last wrote you a post like this! Hahaha I'm sorry. I was just busy, that's all. But being busy didn't keep me from not being productive. I wrote a novel and it's finished! I forget the starting date, but I guess it's about three months (?) or more. The theme is different. I wrote about an Indonesian highschooler, not fantasy or something settled in the USA. I used easy and light languages, as it's directed towards teenagers age 13-19. I had sent it to two publishers, and I hope both can contact me soon (or even say they like it and wanna publish it! XP)
Well, the title is I Wish... and it's the first book in the I Wish... series (yeah I know, the series title is not creative). Here's a list of the upcoming titles:
First Arc:
1. I Wish... *complete, waiting for confirmation*
2. Faux *still brainstorming*
3. Broken
4. Lost
Second Arc:
5. Buried
6. Worthless
7. Denied
8. Forgotten
I'm thinking about creating 12 books, but let's just see it later. Oh, and the titles are not fixed, so they might change. And I Wish is just a small part in Diary of A Teenage Girl.
If you want a sneak peek copy to I Wish..., just mail me: ardhelia97.86@gmail.com
Thanks! (and please keep supporting me)

Singapore I'm Coming!
It's March already. Whew. I still feel like yesterday was New Year's Eve or Valentine's Day. Now those days are out and the upcoming days are White Day and Good Friday. By the way, I had an amazing Valentine! Still can't believe that happened!
Oh yeah, if any of you live in Singapore, get ready, because I'm going there in 2 weeks! Hahaha the background story is cool. So, on Saturday, I told my mom I want to go to Singapore, and my mom said: "ask your brother". Oh, I have 2 big brothers. The one living in our family house is the eldest. He's kind, smart, handsome and funny (also rich and generous). My mom told my brother and...he agreed to go with me! I mean, WOW! Thank God I have an amazing and adventurous brother! (more info: he's an architect, and also a photographer, helping his friend's Event Organizer team)
And now, back to novel. I've continued Day and Night till more than 80 pages. And the story is still soooo long. I hope it's not too long so I can send it to the publisher. Yep, I'm going for Elex again, because it's the only publisher that accepts files by email. I hate printing, which means I must waste paper for a novel that its publicity status is still not fixed. And I'm also a supporter of World Wildlife Fund, which means I (really) love the Earth and the things inside it and I must protect them all.
If you want to donate for this planet, visit WWF
So, I hope I can finish Day and Night this month, because in March, I get around 8 days of vacation, perfect for traveling and continue writing.
Yep, that's all for now. I hope you're all healthy and happy.
Have a nice day!
Love,
AT

Time to Move On: Day and Night
Happy February, everyone! Whew. January is already over. I still feel like yesterday was New Year's Eve. Right, time goes so freaking fast you don't even realize it. Crap. What am I gonna do with my life?
So, I have good news and bad news. I think I'm telling bad news first.
So, guys, Bloody Romance had been read by the publisher and.....it was denied. Crap. Oh well. But at least they gave good advice to me, which encouraged me to write more! Yes, I was led down, but now I'm back again as Ardhelia Triaratana, the writer, NOT the loser.
So here's the good news.
I'M WRITING A NEW NOVEL (AGAIN)!
I know, I've written lots of novels, but I think this one is special. This time I'm out of my comfort zone. I usually write about fantasy and magic, but now I'm writing a thriller-romance novel! I've read some good book recommendations, and they teach me lots of lessons to improve my writing!
I'm gonna tell you a bit about this new novel. I really want this to get published, because I myself think this is the best one I can write when I'm out of the comfort zone. Usually I got stuck, but now my hands almost move by their own. So, there are 2 main characters: Stella, a popular girl in her school, and Lena, a beautiful and full of potential girl but too shy to let it out. If you already know about Tamer, so you must know Lena. Yeah, this novel is the prequel of Lena Peyton series, the upcoming 12 book serial! The title of the novel is Day and Night.
The setting is in Jakarta, Indonesia, which is really unusual for me. Usually I use another worlds or USA or Britain as the setting, but this time it's in Indonesia. Hey, I wanna improve, 'k?
I think that's all about my new novel. I still can't spoil the story here haha. So my advice to you guys who wanna be writers is: don't give up. to become successful you have to rise and fall many times. the falls hurt, but they always give you lessons to make you better. remember that.
OK, AT is out! 13 more days till Valentine!
Best regards,
AT

Happy New Year 2013!
It's 2013! Happy New Year! I hope this year everything gets better than the previous year! :D I celebrated New Year's Eve with my family at home, and it was amazing! We had BBQ and watched fireworks. My balcony can give us 180 degree look, and my home is located near hotels and tourist attractions, so it was very extraordinary!
By the way, I sent BR again, just in case the publisher didn't get my previous email last year. And the replied it! It said my novel is already in their queuing list, and I will be contacted 2-3 months later! I hope it's just two months and they agree to publish it! *pray*
I also have continued Black Crown today. It has reached more than 15000 words. Such an improvement. I still have to continue evolving the story, also the characters. The good part is, I have so much free time, but until January 6. Business starts again on January 7, also my big brother's birthday :)
I think that's all for now. I wish you have a great 2013!
