BLOG: My Very Own Hype Beast

Posted on June 12, 2026June 12, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday. Here we are at the Brunch Spot. I promise I will fix all of these dumb placeholder names in the final version. I don’t have my vintage book of baby names with me, which I use to help me come up with new ones. Yes, I know, I could...Read More

BLOG: Train to Somewhere

Posted on June 10, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. Sitting in the coffee shop. The vibe in my world today is very “Now What?” Now what, indeed. Okay, I’ve been gone for exactly one year now. I gone on a crazy adventure and spent most of my money. I do have the makings for a decent book manuscript,...Read More

BLOG: The Darjeeling Limited

Posted on June 5, 2026June 5, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Fri-yay! I am currently hungover AF, which is a shame because I had big plans for today. In addition to the two interviews and dozens of rejections, I had three follow-ups that I definitely planned to follow up on today. Naturally, I self-sabotaged by getting way too drunk while I...Read More

BLOG: Make Me An Offer I Can’t Refuse

Posted on May 31, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday. At brunch. And by brunch, I mean I woke up at 2:30pm after staying out all night partying at the gay club and somehow dragged myself up the stairs for a Bloody Mary. Who am I? Where am I? Ugh. Yesterday was ridiculous. I went to the reggae festival...Read More

Tuesday. We are having a heat wave here in HK. That means everyone else is sitting inside enjoying the air on whilst I, a not-so-recent refugee of the unforgivingly cold and terrible winter weather of South Dakota, sit outside and bask in the glorious heat. I never want to experience...Read More

BLOG: Keep the Dream Alive

Posted on May 24, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday. Sitting out on my rooftop on my yoga mat. It’s not the most comfortable writing position. I suppose I could always use a chair or go get my little lap desk from downstairs. Or I can just put my keyboard on my lap and sit up straight. Here we...Read More

BLOG: The Cure for Loneliness

Posted on May 3, 2026May 5, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday afternoon. Chillin’ in my apartment on a rainy day. There is something very cozy about rainy days in Hong Kong. The thunder is rolling in, the lightning is flashing, the rain is pounding against the pavement, the streets are slowly filling up with water and flooding. It’s the perfect...Read More

BLOG: SEA of Sharks

Posted on April 30, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday. Back at the coffee shop. I haven’t been here all week due to a combination of heavy rainfall and general malaise. Just pushing myself back into action, no matter what it takes. Another week, another round of dead applications that went absolutely nowhere. Fabulous. Apparently the only jobs I...Read More

Posted on April 27, 2026April 28, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. I have not written in a few days. Not much to say today. I am feeling pretty depressed in general. I don’t know if it’s me or the general Hong Kong vibe. It is ranked as one of the least happiest cities on Planet Earth… Currently sitting on the...Read More

BLOG: Shark Fin Soup

Posted on April 23, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday. At the coffee shop. It’s raining today. It rained all last night. The construction was still going on outside until about 2am when the rain started, so the very loud sounds of the drilling were replaced by impossibly loud, extremely terrifying thunder claps. Needless to say, I did not...Read More
