Drive-Thru

Happy 2.5k! (And don't hate me.)

Please don't hate me if I post something like this. Huhuhuhu. It's such a great achievement for an underrated writer like me to reach this number. Promise. 'Di niyo lang alam, I've been keeping track of all the votes and reads and (especially) the comments that you give to all my stories. Really. You make me believe that there is still hope for me in this website.

I think it's been three years since I started writing Drive-Thru. God, that felt so long. I reread some of my earlier published notes and my drafts (by the way, I have 86 drafts inside Drive-Thru. That many. And some of the drafts are like 500-words long. I just don't post it because I'm not yet satisfied with how it goes). Shit. Parang nakita ko 'yung improvement ko sa pagsusulat when I reread them all.

And really, these pieces reflect my current situation at that time. Feeling ko, I was at that moment in time when I write those pieces. I know what happens, and I feel it again. Na parang online diary ko na nga 'to e. Pero no, this is like a gold mine of ideas.

As much as I don't want to say this, but you're free to get the ideas on some of my stories here. It's public, and maybe while reading my work, something sparked inside you (not romantically). And I daresay you ignite that spark and let it burn. Burn that in paper and start writing!

So... there's that. If you're reading this until now, thank you!

Shameless plugs. If you enjoyed Drive-Thru, you might wanna check out my other stories as well!

Submitted: Collection of my contest entries.

I'm promoting my stories because I want them to be read. It's time for me to be proud and loud with my babies! They deserve more attention!

That's all. See you in the next post again!

Roy.
