After Action [COMPLETED]

[SE] "RE-ORIENTING"

Written 07 July 2019

As much as I want to focus myself on writing, I just can't.

I feel drained just sitting in front of the computer and check my social media accounts for hours on end―not to mention the random searches on Google and Wiktionary. And every time I check my stories on Wattpad, I only feel more and more disappointed with myself. It feels like I've written two complete novels for nothing. I should've known better than to write a conspiracy thriller, when most of the Filipino Wattpad readership wants to read romance-themed novels. They don't want to read stories that leave them wondering the what-ifs of both past and current events, and its consequences to global stability. They want to be spoon-fed with themes of "love", "family", and "inspiration"―

Which is not necessarily a bad thing; but at this point, it's just becoming a huge detriment to the prosperity of the Filipino nation. It is among the contributing factors to the rise of an alarming worldwide phenomenon called "Neanderthal Fundamentalism".

I think the lunatic asylum is slowly becoming a better option for me, after all.
