Welcome to the world of the Mortez Twins: Brietta and Brixton.
In the public eye, they come from a rich family with certain standards, but that's not the kind of world they want to live in at all. They feel like they're so much more than the limit...
(YUNG NAKA-BOLD FONT 'YUNG MAIN IDEA. SAVE YOURSELF FROM THE RANT. HAHA.)
Hanlu.
Hindi na ako inaantok so edited na...
I currently unpublished most parts of the book in order for me to edit them and somehow, restart. Para maging better 'yung story.
Alam niyo ba, I started this story nung 2017, I was in 7th grade. During that time, iniisip ko, gusto kong gawing medyo mas matanda 'yung mga characters sa akin. Why? Basahin niyo 'yung "You need to know.."
Copypaste: Grade 7 ako nang maisipan ang plot ng TWATG. I was grade 6 when I had the idea though kasi nga napansin ko na almost all girls in our country are wattpaders and almost all boys are gamers.. so 'yun! Pero grade 9 sila kasi pinatanda ko sila kasi nga, feeling ko din, 'di sila bagay maging grade 7. Masyadong bata pakinggan! Haha! Bakit 'di ko na lang ginawang grade 10? Eh, sa ayaw ko pa silang mag-graduate. Gusto ko 'yung nasa gitna lang. Feeling ko kasi, masyadong biased kapag grade 10 students. I mean, you know... they're jr. graduating students.. 'pag malapit na ang end of school year, sa kanila mapupunta lahat ng atensyon (wala akong galit sa mga grade 10, feeling ko lang hahaha), pati ba naman sa story na 'to, sila pa rin ang bibida? Bakit 'di college? H'wag na lang kayong magtaka kasi 'di ko na din alam isasagot ko. Sa gusto ko ng teen characs, may magagawa ba ang mga may gustong mag-protesta? Hali kayo dito, ah! Hahaha!
Attitude si past self, guys. HAHAHAHA.
So 'yun nga. Skl, sa tinagal-tagal ko iyong sinusulat, inabutan ko na 'yung characs. HAHAHA. 9th grader na ako pero hindi pa rin tapos 'yung story. Why am I saying this? Wala, gusto ko lang i-share. Writing stories truly take time.
I said it so many times na rin na this story was supposedly light, silly and joke-like, a story not to be taken seriously. Pero na-realize ko, if I won't take my "small stories" seriously, how can I take my other (deeper, bigger plans) stories seriously? I really grew to love this story.
Originally, it was just a silly love story, circulating among the twins' circle of friends. The story still has room for that, but its main focus changed. I no longer want it to just be a silly love story. So that's why I'm sorta restarting it. I wanted to bring awareness to so many fields like:
Generation Clash.
Family Conflict & Acceptance.
Leadership Struggles.
Sense Of Belongingness.
'Yun 'yung mga gusto kong i-discuss sa story na 'to, and hopefully, the message I want to convey will come through naman.
As I continued writing, I felt like I wanted this story to be more family-natured.
Also, rereading, I had thoughts na, "Why is Brit so mad at Brix and vice versa?"
Reading their POVs kasi, it seemed like they despised each other which is, again, not right. I mean, it's normal for siblings to fight but I can't see any reason why Brit and Brix would hate each other now.
What? Because one of them is a fangirl, and one of them is a gamer? Is that enough reason for them to hate one another? No.
And that was my stupid original plan. Fangirls and gamers hating each other. LIKE, WHY SELF?! WHY?!
Also, I guess that's what makes the original Chapter 49 so unnatural to me. Para tuloy naging biglaan na lang na naging close ang isang gamer at isang fangirl. I really need to fix that part of the story, so I will.
I feel like I lost myself in a way and I miss my old, creative self so here I am. I'm glad I took a break and now, I'm starting to get myself back on track, inspired, and into writing once again.
Kapag tapos ko nang isulat ang TWATG, I still won't unpublish this part with the hope of someone reading it and getting inspired.
Like, hello! Do you want to be a writer? Or do you just love reading so you came here to read? Either way, I hope that you could learn a thing or two from this part.
If you're a reader, then I hope na natuto ka maging hopeful-- sa daming beses ko naman sinabi ang word na "hope" sa part na 'to. HAHAHAHA.
If you're an aspiring writer, I know you've read this a lot of times, but don't give up, I guess? If you feel like something is wrong with your story, take a step back, try finding the bigger picture, and fix whatever you feel is wrong with your story. I believe you can do that, like the way I did with this story.
Actually, this applies to anything, no matter what you're aspiring to be. If you feel like you lost track, just stay still. Find things that will inspire you to get back on track.
Why am I saying this? Walang lang ulit. Gusto lang ulit mag-share.
'Lam niyo ba, gusto ko ulit gawin 'yung ginawa ko sa "A Simple Way Of Saying..." kaso ang dami niyo na ngayon. Meron pa akong natapos dati na compilation ng mga nag-a-add ng TWATG sa reading list nila, I'll publish it someday. Tapos, balak ko pa sanang i-continue 'yung compilation na 'yun, kaso na-flood na rin 'yung notifs ko. Basta, thank you na lang sa mga nagsu-support sa story na to. I appreciate you.
Once again, thank you na rin for your patience.
PS. Sa "Story Info," ang tagal nakasaad na nag-start 'yung story nung 090117. Pero 082617 talaga. Sorry. 'Di ko na-double check noon.
Oops! Ang larawang ito ay hindi sumusunod sa aming mga alituntunin sa nilalaman. Upang magpatuloy sa pag-publish, subukan itong alisin o mag-upload ng bago.
Siyanga pala, I'm also wondering, sino 'yung mga gustong magpa-dedicate ng chapters diyan? Baka lang naman. Hehe... ❤️
