BLOG: Life Goes On

Posted on July 14, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday. 2:15am. Waiting for McDonald’s to be delivered, which is not something I’ve ever done, lol. Luckily, they are still open at this time of night. I used to be someone that didn’t approve of going to McDonald’s in a different country, but now I like to try the local...Read More

BLOG: A Dark and Stormy Night

Posted on July 13, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Sunday afternoon. Waiting for my late lunch delivery to arrive. I get so overwhelmed in those big food courts. It’s easier for me to sit down and look at the delivery options. It’s all the same, you’re just paying someone to go get it for you. Totally worth it, in...Read More

Saturday afternoon. Chillin’ out on the rooftop, as per usual. The vibe is lit. There’s some other ladies hanging out and no Passport Bros. The playlist is pretty good too. Good writing vibes. What did I do today? I did a round of yoga on the rooftop right under the...Read More

BLOG: Writing and Traveling

Posted on July 11, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Friday night. Finally left the haunted tower today in search of snacks and stationary. I ended up wandering right into the Thai equivalent of Walmart, which was a much more calming experience than the Hong Kong IKEA. Loaded up on snacks and notebooks. Unfortunately, my sorrows gave way to my...Read More

BLOG: Caught in Limbo

Posted on July 10, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Thursday afternoon. Not very productive today. Mostly just slept. I thought about my life for too long and felt pretty bad about it again, so I decided to sleep it off. There’s some things I don’t feel bad about. Untangling myself from my toxic family is probably the biggest win...Read More

BLOG: Hot Mess

Posted on July 10, 2025July 10, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. The time stretches on as the pages continue to flow. More planning, more development. Nothing substantial, as of yet. I know I should go out and actually explore the city, but I’m just tied up with this story right now. If you’ve never created, it’s hard to comprehend the...Read More

Wednesday evening. Happy Hour. Taking advantage by ordering the spring roll platter deal all for myself. I’m so hungry all the time. Thank god all the food is so delicious and so cheap. I wrote many more pages today. This second notebook is going fast. I might actually have to...Read More

BLOG: Writing a Romance

Posted on July 9, 2025July 9, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday. Sitting on the rooftop. Have not gone to get my coffee yet. I just came up here to have a cigarette and wait for the words to strike. Here they are, there they go. I filled the whole tiny little notepad I picked up from 7-11 yesterday. I will...Read More

BLOG: What’s Cooking in the Pot?

Posted on July 8, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday evening. Stormy weather. I’ve been trapped inside my gigantic luxury loft apartment for the entire afternoon, forced into writing stories. Oh no! How terrible! So I wrote 22 pages, which is… not terrible. Good work, team. Good work. I’ve written basically nothing since 2019 and now, all of a...Read More

BLOG: Settle In

Posted on July 8, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday afternoon. Oh wait, just kidding. It’s not even noon yet. I just woke up super early this morning and I’ve been working on stuff, so it feels later in the day. Finally, I feel like I’m feeling somewhat back to normal again. The last month and a half has...Read More
