Have ever got stuck on a plot, a word, a scene or a story so much that you can't move forward? We as writers, believe everyone has been through that "phase". To counteract that stage and to boost our writing community(and the writer in us), we all need a boost, a push to keep at it. Keeping in mind, every Sunday, NewlyWrittenBooks are going to publish a writer's empowerment quote from writers across the world, to spark the writing bug within you. Cover made by the amazingly gifted @druidoflore :)

|COMPLETED| Despite coming from a non-magical family, Snow Brielle Sylveria still yearns to become one of the gifted. When the opportunity to attend Universe Academy finally comes, one question remains: can she overcome the challenges and survive? *** 500 years ago, the Gods of the Universe created and chose a mortal to carry the seed. Yet, her power and body were incompatible. The chosen one had to sleep for five centuries to make the child in the womb adapt and seal the dominant power. Everyone thought that Snow Brielle Sylveria is just an ordinary girl, born from a non-magic family. She grew up without knowing her mom and her real identity; a typical nerd-looking girl with no special ability. Not until one night when someone tried to harm her, her ability manifested and surprisingly created a massive disturbance in the entire Vermillion. How could an ordinary girl become the One who would protect the entire Universe from the demons? Disclaimer: This story is written in Taglish, a combination of Tagalog & English.

"I hope you realize you made the worst f**king decision of your life." She could feel his cold icy blue eyes piercing through her soul. "I didn't ask for this..." tears threatened to fall from her eyes, her lips quivering in fear. His grip on both her wrists become tighter as he slams them hard against the wall, trapping her petite body in-between the wall and his body, "You'll never have a place in my life, let alone my heart, do you understand?" She winces from the pain from her wrists. He slams her arms against the wall again. He leans in close enough to the point where their lips are only inches apart, "I said, do you f**king understand, foolish girl?" His voice rises as he clenches his jaw in an impatient manner. She nods in hopes that he'll let go. And just like that, he lets go of her as she falls to the floor in utter defeat. What have I done... she asks herself. **Full Summary Inside** Cover by: Me, Myself, and I!
