One hour of writing, by the end of it, feels insufficient, but I swear the first ten to fifteen minutes feel like early morning Mass. I do have to make better plans so I can do 2-hour sprints again (or more). I just haven’t been able to wake up wake…
Leave a commentWent to the doctor today and immediately felt my symptoms settle down a bit, effectively gaslighting myself so it felt like I was exaggerating everything I was feeling. Doctor was able to chalk some of it to post-Covid gland swelling, so we’re just going to wait for a bit for…
Leave a comment3 weeks of laundry, vacuuming, garbage bin refresh, returning books to my shelves, cleaning up: I was thinking of doing these during the weekend but none of that happened. Instead, I finished The Saint of Bright Doors (read my Goodreads review on it, I was feeling very strongly when I…
Leave a commentCompelling stuff over here LOL Wednesday night, I got the whole plot lined up for my next (self-imposed) project into the wee hours of the morning while trying to sleep. Kaya ako hindi makatulog e! Matutulog na lang nagpapaka-productive pa. I don’t recommend it, but when it happens, masaya naman.…
Leave a commentStill wonky on the lighting pero madaming narating writing-wise in fairness kapag hindi mo “focus” ang writing (kasi focus ko na makapag-focus dahil nagsi-stream) mas playful ang approach ko sa pagsusulat.

Nasa 326 na libro ang na-nominate (sabi ng GMA news…
Leave a commentPosting my first and ugly test stream here to figure out if I like doing it after a few weeks. Don’t watch it, the audio sucks and I cough a lot in it. I’m not exactly aural but even I got very annoyed by both my voice and the keyboard…
Leave a commentI’ve learned by being in writing discussion groups that have pro (authors who’ve been paid market rates in exchange for the right to publish their stories on a venue) writers in them (who don’t know me) that submitting to venues is a super important part of getting published. I say…
Leave a commentNagka-Covid ako noong June hanggang early July. Teorya ko ay nakuha ko ito noong nag-CR ako bago manood ng Furiosa isang Sabado. Pagdating ng Lunes ng gabi, tila may naramdaman akong pangangati ng lalamunan. Pero dahil nasa periphery na ito ng nalalapit na mens, as usual, hindi ko masyado ito…
Leave a commentThat is, naniwala na sila sa wakas. Nakailang request din ako na oo ako ‘to. Check out the three-star review, ang cute. Ang bait din ni C.L. Balagoza sa paglagay ng review niya from Facebook to Goodreads. In fairness sa shelves ko, mukhang tinangka ko talagang ilagay lahat ng librong…
