Malakas, the first man, and Maganda, the first woman, did not live happily ever after.
Maganda's descendant, Lupe, has a humongous crush on Aiken, a hunky new transferee in school. It all sounds like an ordinary girl-meets-boy romance until mysterio...
First, I would like to thank Junette for creating the amazing illustration for the book cover. I love collaborating with fellow artists.
I found out that writing novels involve insane amount of polishing and edits and rewrites; it only makes sense, a novelist has to learn his craft and improve writing his stories.
A writer also needs to undergo a humbling, yet very rewarding task or crucible (depending how big an ego the writer has) of asking and graciously accepting others' constructive criticism.
I truly believe that when it comes to writing stories, it is all about the creative process and summoning ones courage to take the initial steps; English is my second language and though I sometimes have trouble delivering a sentence here and there, I always tell myself that what is important is to give it the good old college try and learn from the experience.
It's in this spirit that I humbly present to you, dear readers my original first draft of Lupe and The God of the Turbulent Seas.
This rough draft consists of a prologue, thirty three chapters, epilogue and glossary; it's my intention to post two or three chapters every week, on Sundays or Mondays, starting June 3, 2019.
Thank you for taking the time to read and review my first draft. It'll help me with my rewrites.
I'm looking forward to connect with you all!
