Now that I'm working fulltime again, I take it easy and write when I can. I am learnt to be more patient and forgiving with myself, and not push myself to write when I don't feel like it. I think you should just go with what suits you, at your current stage of life. :)(less)

I think I've always seen myself as a writer, I've been writing short stories (and some have placed or were finalists in international writing competitions) since I was a teen, so for me, that aspect of my identity was never in question. I think people tend to see publishing a book and success as validation of your talent/skills, but I don't see it that way, everyone's journey is so so different, and paths to traditional publication also hugely depends on what you're putting out there (genres, trends etc) and even your background/identity, your goals as a writer etc. All this to say: external validation is great for an author, but I've always thought of myself as a writer since I first discovered I could make myself and others feel something with my words. Hope this helps! x(less)

October update / LAST blog post on GR

Ooh baby. Has it been a month plus since my last post? You know when I started this blog, which my developer linked to my website, I thought I'd be posting more regularly, but to be honest Goodreads (and this blog) has been neglected because it's not interactive with readers (which is fine, I need to delink this GR blog with my site), the format is pretty crap, and GR just lacks the immediacy of I Read more of this blog post »

Hi my beauties

Dropping in to announce my YA debut BITE ME ROYCE TASLIM, a romcom/coming-of age novel chockful of humour and heart and what I believe is the *best* chair joke ever written.

Inspired by my two years as an amateur stand-up comic in Singap

Quotes by Lauren Ho  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Tears sprang, unbidden, to my beady, plebeian eyes. That so much beauty was possible in the heart of this stone-and-concrete city, that it should be owned by one person, while I paid almost half my salary and almost all my waking hours for not even a hundredth of this space—it hurt. How could this be what my life had become about?”
Lauren Ho, Last Tang Standing

“25 a.m. I now know all the types of intestinal worms you can get and how to get them. 12:27 a.m. How to get Genevieve to drink from muddy swamp water? How to ensure the swamp water sample contains eggs of flukes? 12:33 a.m. How to get water from a lake containing Guinea worm, surely the Lamborghini of parasitic worms?”
Lauren Ho, Last Tang Standing

“It’s strange, isn’t it, how this form of racism is still accepted under the guise of ensuring that the new addition to your family has a ‘similar cultural background and value system’?”
Lauren Ho, Last Tang Standing
