  • Post NaNoWriMo 2017 Thoughts

    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…

  • How to Plot? – with Yarii

    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…

  • Preptober Week 2: Planning for NaNoWriMo 2017 on a Busy Week

    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…

  • How I Use a Midori Style Traveler’s Notebook to Prepare for NaNoWriMo 2017

    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…

  • NaNoWriMo 2017 + My Thoughts on the Dreaded Preptober

    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…

  • My Writing Playlist: 3 (Tiga)

    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…

  • 2017 Writing (and Reading) Goals!

    First of all, I know that it’s February. It may seem too late to announce my writing goals for 2017 now, but since I want to participate in Wordbound, I might as well complete them all. (At least that’s the grand plan. Let’s see how this turns out.) Wordbound is a term used to describe…

  • Of Writer’s Block and Planning My Writing Retreat

    I couldn’t even count the number of times somebody asked me:   “When will you release your next book?” 80% of the time, I would give them a quick smile and say “Soon,” or “I’m working on it,” or something to that effect. And 80% of the time, these people would be satisfied. They would…
