Hi! This is Josh and I really appreciated you reading this series of short stories!
Either lumaktaw ka to read this note, read the entire series or perused at least one of the stories, I really thank you!
In this note, I will be sharing you, guys, some of my inspiration, thoughts, and some of my 'hugot' relating to some of my stories in this book.
Since the pandemic year started, it is hard for me to accompany myself. I was so bored that it made feel like a prisoner who always doing the same routine everyday and it justify the thought since hindi rin ako lumalabas.
This idea brings me the plot of Our Story Behind Bars. Since a love story behind prison is kind of unusual to me, so I made one. And because of the requests, I wrote A Wall Bars Apart as the sequel of the story.
A Thousand Years is inspired sa song na A Thousand years, haha! The idea just came out of my mood to try writing a story from our own language (which is the Hiligaynon) and from the song I always listened sa radyo namin before.
A Thousand Years, story of mine, is also the root of the idea for me to write more stories inspired by songs like the Pagtingin by Ben&Ben and Magbalik by Callalily.
I also tried fantasy-to-psychological story (not sure kung nandito), horror-comedy, Girls Love, Boys Love, Chronological/Diary type story, Forbidden love story and other type of story to challenge myself. It was all fun writing.
By the way, I am not (yet) editing any part of the stories. But don't worry, I am keeping in mind every tips, correction, criticism you (will) drop/ped.
Sincerely,
Josh
