Hello everyone!
          Debating if I should write my first chapter of MoonBreak as a Prologue or Chapter 1. Reason is that a book critic once told me that I don't know how to write a Prologue correctly and then he said "Take it with a grain of salt" meaning 'don't take his comment too seriously" ... but you know - that event has always been stuck in my head. Thanks to that person who I shall not reveal.
          
          But as Google says, 
          "A prologue is a short introductory section in a book that sits outside the main narrative. Its primary purpose is to hook the reader, establish the story’s tone, and provide essential context without cluttering the opening chapters."
          
          I'll be explaining the setting. The castle that the vampires live in and why "Whispering Ends" has a dark history. And that history is not going to be the main purpose of the story but an introduction for readers.
          
          So, it's possible that I might make the first part a Prologue despite what that book critique told me.
          
          But I'm not publishing any of my work on Wattpad as of yet.

Hello everyone!
          Still here, but I've been busy these past few days. Back to writing my novel MoonBreak. I'm adding "electromagnetism" in my story, as the fictional land of SunHaven needs one. LOL! I love these satirical words I came up with. 
          Vampires galore have always been dark, a negativity when it comes to monsters. So, if anyone knows how I write, "let's switch it up a little!" Let's take Dracula's home and make it magnetic.
          After all, soon my young fledgling will become a nighttime talk show radio announcer.  And I think it's fitting I'm doing this as the US late- night show host, Stephen Colbert, will be signing off this Thursday. A sad farewell. 
          
          As mentioned before, I'm writing MoonBreak on Google Docs and have generated a lot of ideas. Who needs prompts, when you can watch a show or listen to music ... where "the words come haunting you" LOL!
          
          As money is tight, gasoline prices have gone up and so forth ... I can foresee it will be a long summer for me! 
          
          Take Care everyone!

Happy Mother's Day to all! Wish you all the best!
          Going out today with my mom.
          

Hello everyone and happy Friday!
          Getting all the thoughts together of what I can ask in character interviews for my upcoming novel. I think it will be fun! Unlike the time I was interviewing an author for a former Ambassador Profile, this time it will be for my novel, and no one should upset me and say it's "childish" and "Disneyland-Ish". That embarrassed me because I always try my best to write well. And even though I'm not quite amazing as a graphic artist, I do what I can.  I now like to say to all those who want to criticize or make fun of my work, how would you do it if you were in "my shoes?" It's not simple when your mind is not stable.
          
          That's why I'm taking extra time to figure out how to write MoonBreak well. And since the deadline, I'm putting for myself is Halloween, I've reached a simple goal!

Happy May everyone!
          
          Can you hear me now? Yes, my joke for everyone! Got to see the audiologist later today. I hope my hearing has not worsened all these years.  And I have a feeling someone had been pretending to be like me (as if I like to be disabled ... I'd trade the life with any normal person)
          Please don't pretend you are someone who you are not. I don't appreciate it when people make fun of each other.
          
          Anyway, I hope to get back to writing after "these messages!" LOL >>> aka next week!

Hello Everyone! 
          I have a busy week as the windshield of my brother's car got smashed by a pebble and it developed into a crack. He has an appointment with the car shop on Friday while I have appointments to attend by the end of the week. The start of the year for me has always been busy as I've gotten older!
          
          Hopefully in May I can start writing again. I need to get the story of MoonBreak "chugging" right along! LOL/ yes like the train! But during this month, writing had many stops due to family and medical issues. 
          
          Heard many have turned in their ONC submissions already. Have not kept up with the schedules, but I wish all who have participated luck! I might join next year again. That is if I don't have a lot of interruptions!
          
          Till Next Time, Take Care Everyone!

Hi everyone!
          Yesterday I had a conversation of how I  was in high school. I was the need, outsider ... always wanted to belong in the in-crowd. Fashion wise ... as that was in the mid 90's ... goth and you could be reckless... I still have the motorcycle jacket I begged my dad to buy me back then. Lol! Never been on a motorcycle, but I like to envision it. In my story about Owen Thomas, "Seize the Moment", I believe the suave guy does that... I tend to forget cause it's been a while since I  wrote that uncompleted novel. Please note I have short term memory, some people won't accept. But all I remember is that I really wanted to prove not all "bad guys" grow up that way. Yea, I broke the mold of the typical bad boy romance which I was tired of reading in Wattpad. 
          Anyway another story prompt came in my mind, ... said I'll never do teen fiction, but I changed my mind. Based what I said earlier, I feel like doing something like the 80's cult movie " The Breakfast Club". My characters  though, never liked doing fan fiction. And the shy girl would have the lead. That's who I was, classmates always made fun of me cause I'd talk to myself... which might be the reason why I write stories, I can easily make up story prompts! So, I'd put that idea away on a rainy day for now. Still up to doing my horror newscast, MoonBreak. Got the intro partly done on Google Docs. Starting slow as the start of the year was all about taking care of medical appointments and skin allergies. 

Hello everyone!
          Didn't know today is Earth Day! Recycling anyone? My brother and I do that for a recycling program since we were young. My extended family in the East, don't understand that. But that doesn't bother me. LOL!
          
          Congrats to those who have completed or almost finished their ONC. That's great progress! I might join next year, but I don't know. If medical problems get in the way, like it did this year, it'll be a hassle. And I don't like multi-tasking. I don't know how some do it, without getting a major headache. 
          Take Care to all!

Hello to all!
          Been thinking it over as I think I want to add a cousin to my vampire Aleister. And I got the perfect oddball's name ... "Irwin". Actually, I was watching a rerun of the show "Family Ties" with the then young Michael J. Fox. In the show, he had a funny neighbor named Irwin (nickname Skippy). And that will be the name of Aleister's cousin in my story! LOL
          
          In reality, I never got along with my cousins (on my dad's side ... most are younger than me .... in short have a different generation thinking than me ... as in do we always need to text on the phone? LOL. My mom's side are in the Philippines and abroad ... so I did not grow up with them either. So, in my upcoming story, Aleister and Irwin (Skippy) are vampire cousins who work together to make an old radio station work. LOL!

Hi , how’re you doing ? Nice to meet you and my pleasure to talk to you.
