Saan galing ang mga kuwento? Paano pumili ng pamagat? Anu-ano ang mga story elements? Gaano kalaki ang plot? Ilan ang dapat na tauhan sa kuwento? Bakit may setting? Aling point of view ang dapat na gamitin sa pagsulat? Kailan dapat maglagay ng Prologue o ng Epilogue? Saan ginagamit ang theme? Ano ang writing style? Bakit may ending? Paano ba ang magsulat?

"In love ka na once accepted mo na 'yong person na 'yon kahit ano pa man siya. Buong-buo 'yong acceptance, hindi kalahati lang. Hindi sala sa lamig, sala sa init. Hindi napipilitan. Hindi natatakot." "Malalim," aniya. Tumikhim. "Mukhang based on experience." Tumawa si Kaye, hindi um-oo, hindi rin humindi. "Ikaw, ano'ng answer mo?" "Ano na bang pagmamahal pinag-uusapan natin? Fans, supporters-readers o romantic na ata 'yan?" natatawang aniya. "Hindi ako nag-a-assume kaso 'yang mga hugutang ganyan, eh. . .may mga pinaglalaban." Tumigil sa paglalakad si Kaye. Nagpamulsa.

Let's take it slow," anito, may pilyang pagkagat pa ng kaunti sa labi. "Dito muna tayo sa usapang 'to."

Kunwaring makabuluhan.
