I started writing way back August 15, 2020. Pandemic no’ng time na ’yon at hindi ko rin alam anong pumasok sa isip ko at gumawa ako ng novel. Bored na bored siguro talaga ako dahil bawal lumabas. The title of my first novel is Trops but I changed it into Throns and Heartbeats and my username before is ChrishAlLianBy. Natapos ko siya within one month. Hindi ko akalain na aabot ’yon ng 2.5K reads. I’m happy that time, may book 2 pa siya actually nag 1K reads na rin. I had 300+ followers too. Marami pa akong ginawang novel dahil nag-e-enjoy ako.
But I didn't expect that someday I will stop writing.
Way back 2021. Nawalan ako ng ideas, nablanko, walang maisulat. I unpublished all of my novels. I gave my writing account to my friend dahil hiningi niya sa ’kin. Since wala naman nang nakapublish na novels doon, binigay ko.
At nagpahinga ako. Sa pagpapahinga ko, I tried to write many times but I’m not satisfied. I tried to create a one-shot story but It’s looks like I really forced myself to write because it didn't turn out so well. Naiiyak sa inis at napapaisip na baka hindi talaga para sa akin ang pagsusulat.
Sumubok ako nang sumubok hanggang sa bumalik ako last year, January 2022. I created new writing account. It’s now named thisismsskybluee. Maniwala man kayo sa hindi, ilang beses ulit akong nahinto sa pagsusulat. I wanted to give up. Pero sabi ko sa sarili ko, last na subok na.
Until July 2022 came, I published my stand alone novel in wattpad titled “She's An Escaper” I’m currently writing this new novel. Finally, I’m happy to say na nararamdaman ko na ang satisfaction sa bawat chapter na isinusulat ko at nararamdaman ko ulit ang pagmamahal ko sa pagsulat ng nobela. Hindi man perpekto, pero handa naman akong matuto. I’m happy too that I have my 7 followers. Hindi man gano’n karami gaya ng sa iba, pero ayos na siya at masaya ako dahil paunti-unti itong nadadagdagan.
Throughout my journey as a writer, I realized that there are times that we will feel like writing is not for us. But that doesn't mean, you will give up on writing.
To all writers out there, there’s nothing wrong if you keep on trying. Just take a rest and try to write again. Dahan-dahan lang, until you feel again the excitement and love in writing every chapters of your on-going story.
