This is it, guys. My second novel, UNSPOKEN WORDS, will be available on bookstores starting January 2nd, 2018. If you haven’t already, you could check out the Goodreads page to read the synopsis. If you’re interested in the creation process of the book, you can check out my previous blog post about how UNSPOKEN WORDS came…
When I ran a poll on Instagram the other day, a surprising amount of respondents requested for me to post more information about my upcoming book, Unspoken Words. Some requested for information regarding the characters, some about my outlining process, and the rest were an equal mix between my writing process and publication date. The…
I had imagined that announcing a new book, after nearly two years of not publishing anything, would be nerve-racking. And, for the most part, that holds true even now; I still feel nervous when I think that the manuscript I completed in June 2017 would soon hit the shelves and be read by people. But…
Disclaimer: this post will feature a lot of pictures, just so you know. I have mentioned in one of my previous blog posts that I wanted to go on a creative writing retreat. Not the fancy residency kind, of course. What I’m talking about is but a short escape somewhere. It should be far enough…
After my bold statement last month on how I was going to participate in NaNoWriMo, you must have been wandering, where have I gone this whole month? (Or maybe you haven’t, but let’s assume that you have.) I am going to answer that question by letting you know where I am right now, as I believe…
With the end of October only a few days away, I really have to work on my NaNoWriMo project outline on my writer’s notebook, which I have rather abandoned last week because I went on a vacation. Problem is—plotting or outlining has never been my strong point. This is especially a big problem when I…
So, I found this inside my mailbox today: And for the first time since the long and arduous second week of October started, I was reminded that I am going to participate in NaNoWriMo 2017. Now, of course it wasn’t like I suddenly woke up one day and forgot such an important event. After all, I…
If you have been following me on Twitter, you might have already known that I recently purchased a Midori style traveler’s notebook from a local leather craftsman. If you’re not familiar with the concept, Midori Traveler’s Notebook is basically a notebook setup that consists of a slab of leather with several elastics on the spine…
If the banner above hasn’t given away what I’m about to write in this post, then let me clarify it for you: Yes, I am participating in NaNoWriMo 2017. This shouldn’t be very surprising, since I have talked about how I wrote my debut novel, 3 (Tiga) as a NaNoWriMo project. In case you didn’t…
A lot of people has been asking me, what kind of music do I listen to when I am writing my novels? Now the truth is, I don’t necessarily need music to keep me in the zone. Of course I listen to them, but I wouldn’t consider music as my absolute writing essentials. I do have…
