and now that nahelyza and sean gann’s story has come to an end... what does that mean? edi bagong kwento! i’ll be writing another epistolary soon. i know i said i’d work on a novel, pero hindi ko pa tapos planuhin yung plot and details. i’m also still torn between starting a new one or continuing wac (pero baka i-unpublish ko muna ‘yon and rewrite everything. i want to fix the plot holes, errors, and honestly, i no longer like my old writing style).
          
          so for now, i hope you’ll stay with me as i begin nohaken and katleya’s story soon. ✨

so happy to announce that turned into regrets is now complete! it’s the very first epistolary i finished. i can’t really remember when i exactly started to write this one — but it was born from a collaboration between eight authors for the liwanag series (inspired by ben&ben’s songs). we created it in 2022, and now, three years later, i was finally able to continue and finish the story.
          
          the initial plot i had back then was totally different. what i wrote now is far from what i originally planned. when i came back to writing last may, i decided to write an epistolary with fresh ideas. but as i opened my draft section on wattpad, tir was just there — as if segann and haley were waiting for me. so i tried to rewrite it. i changed the plot. i followed my new story ideas. i used a format that was new to me. the plot i had before is something i no longer resonate with. i’ve outgrown it, and i’m so happy i gave this story a new and fresh start. it was kind of challenging, but the goal to finish my very first epistolary was stronger than my doubts.
          
          the decision to continue tir came from a need. i needed to take small steps. i had to go back to writing after a long hiatus, and i needed a soft and easy story to ease myself in. and to lessen the pile of unfinished drafts, i picked tir and changed its heavy plot. it was originally meant to be something in-between — not too light, not too heavy, just enough pain with an unclear ending. no label. but it was too hard for me to write that. so ayun, naging madali lang siyang basahin kasi malambot din ang puso ng writer. HAHAHAAHA
          
          anyway, thank you to those who’ve been with me. thank you for reading, whether in silence or in loudness. thank you to those who patiently waited for me to finish this story — you inspired me to see it through. and thank you in advance if you’re going to read it (pls pls sana naman )
          
          this is just the beginning. there are more stories to tell.
          
          I love you all !

happy 100 follows!
          
          i’ve been stuck with two digits for the past years, and that’s because i wasn’t consistent in writing. reaching this number may not seem big to some, but it’s not small for me either. it means a lot. every follow, every read, every number tied to my stories inspires me to continue, to move forward, to keep going.
          
          having even one or two readers is already enough reason for me to write. but having a hundred people following me? that’s a beautiful sign to keep creating, to keep improving. so thank you for being with me <3
          
          i appreciate you all. i’ll consider this an early birthday gift.
          
          all the love,

good morning! i finally decided to publish the epistolary story that i'm currently working on — which i plan to complete on or before my birthday. i want to do a daily update so i’ll be reminded to really write every day. i know you guys told me to write without any pressure and take my time, but i actually like pressuring myself just so i can write something — i like setting a date for myself lol (nasanay lang gaya sa school works na may due date)
