So I ran a small poll on Instagram the other day, asking whether I should write about the Zine I created vs. my favorite writing places. It was a close fight between the two, really, with this post edging the other by a hair. But a win’s a win, so here is the promised blog…
It is no secret by now that my kind of writing sessions had always been long and torturing. Since I have to juggle with my day job and other side projects, I can only focus 100% on writing if I were to write non-stop. And that often translates into 5-7 hours of writing non-stop in…
If you are a writer, you might have heard of the term “writing rituals”. A writing rituals, as the name suggest, is a set of activities that writers perform before actually doing some writing sessions, in hopes that it will get them into this so-called “writing mode”. There are a lot of theories discussing…
Before I start, huge shoutout to Yarii and her extraordinary guest post last week. Yes, I am clearly inspired by her guest post when I was writing the title of this post. One of the most popular—if not THE most popular—writing advice out there is write every day. The idea behind this advice is simple: writing…

It is no secret that my productivity comes in waves, and an irregular one at that. Sometimes, it even bothered me enough that I had to organize a writing retreat in order to get back to writing. However, I have to say that my experience in writing Unspoken Words was quite peculiar. If you have…
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…
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…
