A Dream Come True

Writing has been my passion since fourth grade. It was when I was assigned to participate in a local inter-school Poem Writing competition. Who would have thought that it would take me this far?

Ever since, I begun writing. Well of course at first it was all poems. I never really written a story (be it a short story or a novel, novelette etc.) until I was in college. During college, I tried to be a part of the school paper and I was blessed to be accepted. I even went as far as Acting Editor-in-Chief. In college, my skills in writing was honed. The previous poem evolved into short stories, features, opinion columns and news
articles.

On my last year in college, I began to think "What would I do with writing? I really really want to continue writing even after I graduate, but where would I get me write-up published?"

And then I discovered Wattpad. It was a sanctuary for me. It was a venue where writers aspiring writers and readers convene, where we have the opportunity to post our literary pieces which will be available for everyone to read and where a large collection of stories waiting to be discovered. It was a perfect haven for writers and readers alike. And I'm one of those who had ventured so much that I finally got the chance for my works to be read not only on the web, but in an actual book.

Yes, I got the chance to fulfill my dream of having my novel published on print.

In Wattpad, I met people whom now I treasure as friends. We talked and meet, and come up with a very interesting project. We decided to go for collaboration stories. Each of us has a story where our main character is connected with the characters of the others' story. It was a really fun project and we could say, we have been successful enough. Our efforts were paid off when one our the stories was discovered. That's when we knew it won't be long before ours will be discovered too.

After about 5 months, my chance has been given. My story A Man's Life will now be published under Life is Beautiful, under Precious Pages Corporation. The release date is yet to be announced. Meanwhile, you can check out my story A Man's Life at Wattpad. You can also check out my other stories on my Wattpad profile.

Hope you'll support me!

Blog Re-invented

So, I had this idea.

I want this blog of mine, re-invented. I already found a venue where my literary pieces be published so I stripped it all off here.

Starting today, this blog of mine shall serve its original purpose: To act as a medium where I can freely express my rants about just anything I want. I could also post some updates here regarding my stories which are published on Wattpad.

So there it is! I'm not even sure if anyone's reading this. LOL!

Oh! Before I forgot. You can check out my stories on Wattpad. Just check out this link.
