It feels liberating to tell one of my colleagues about my secret life as a romance novelist. As some of you know, I have a sort of scientifically inclined educational background and profession. Were a really small bunch. And though people are more openminded these days, there are still some lingering effects of the old school perception about romance novels and being a reader or writer of romance. I cant escape it. And even if I want to, its really hard. So instead of fighting it, I chose to separate my other life with this one. Its not that Im ashamed of it. Its just that some people dont understand. And if theres something Ive learned in all my years, that is to not let other people dictate how I should live my life. It is my life after all and I dont need to explain to other people why I do what I do. I love science. I will forever be this geeky girl who knows more about physics and wonders why some people just dont get why and how Ive developed this sort of love-hate relationship with it. But writing was my first love. It was my one great love. And reading was like my mistress. So science will have to be content at being my second great love. Anyway, the point is, and I do have something to point out when I started typing this status but I somehow lost it somewhere in the middle. So the point is that Im slowly trying to introduce this secret life to my other life. But Im taking my time with it. Theres no rush and Im kind of happy to just take things slow. So ayun, I just wanna share a piece of me today.
