Criticism Stories

I've spent a lot of time thinking about what it truly means to call the Philippines 'HOME.' It's a place of incredible warmth and breathtaking beauty, but it also has its shadows and its struggles. I decided to put those feelings into words. My new poetry collection on Wattpad, Chosen Land, Beloved Beat , is my honest tribute to our country-capturing both the gold and the grit of our islands. I'd love for you to take a look and let me know which piece resonates with you the most. Follow me on Wattpad if you want, I am John Mark N. Luciano (@DonJuanMarco), if you saw the name of Moriones Zazadevha, that was my former Wattpad account. I would be publish One Poem, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 12:00 am(Philippine Time) (All criticism will be accepted as long as it does not contain any foul language or insults. Let us keep our Good Manners and Right Conduct. To God be the Glory.)

BEHOLD MY BRAG BOOK This is a portfolio of awards and reviews that Ancilla and its art have received, both on Wattpad and in the real world, due to being entered in real-world contests in addition to those on Wattpad. (I self-published Ancilla commercially about a month before I published an edition of it on Wattpad). Ancilla's rate of winning contests on Wattpad, according to Google's calculator, is about one contest in three - one in two if I only look at the contests that did not fizzle out before completing. Real-world contest win rate: zero. For general wins and losses, refer to my 2024 and 2025 Books of Contests. This portfolio displays reviews, score sheets, comments, press releases, and interviews. Nearly all the material contained herein is glowing and positive (of course) but I have also tucked in some negative material and contest fails, including a downright withering review from some guy at IndieReader. Dear reader, I hope you find this entertaining. If you are an independent pro author like me, I hope you also find it useful for your journey to success.

Some people spend their whole lives trying to fit in. Moxie never wanted to. From the moment she could choose her own clothes, she embraced bold colors, mismatched patterns, handmade accessories, and a style that no one else understood. While other children followed trends, she created her own. What she saw as self-expression, everyone else saw as strange. As the years passed, the whispers became laughter. The laughter became bullying. From classrooms to hallways, birthday parties to social media, Moxie was mocked for refusing to look like everyone else. Teachers told her to tone it down. Classmates made her the joke. Even the people closest to her questioned why she couldn't just be "normal." But every insult only strengthened her resolve to remain unapologetically herself. Years later, when the world finally catches up to what Moxie saw all along, a world-renowned fashion discoverer notices her unmistakable style. Almost overnight, the girl everyone overlooked becomes the face of a movement that celebrates originality, confidence, and fearless self-expression. Now the same people who laughed are wearing the trends she inspired. Unapologetic is a powerful coming-of-age novel about resilience, identity, and the courage to stay true to yourself..even when the entire world tells you not to. Because sometimes the greatest fashion statement isn't what you wear... it's refusing to become someone you're not.

I often doubt my abilities as a writer. I need to try new things in order to grow, but I am tentative because I fear making errors. I want Prompts, whether it be words, styles, POVs, or ideas, and then I want your feedback. This first chapter was practice for me-the first (hopeful) attempt at a tear jerker scene I ever made.
