100 Days of Writing: Day 4
100 Days of Writing: Day 4 Still at it. Sinubukan ko naman sa computer mag-type kasi medyo bumibilis na takbo ng utak ko para sa kwentong ito. Sana naging okay ang araw mo. Ako okay naman, kumain kami sa Mary Grace nina madam at Paul, at maaga ako umuwi para makapagsulat.

100 Days of Writing: Day 3
100 Days of Writing: Day 3 I now have a sketch for the first two scenes of a short story using characters I developed back in Clarion. Am I getting anywhere? It’s really too early to tell. I find I’m using the time not writing preparing for these writing sessions. Hopefully that grows on me.…

100 Days of Writing: Day 2
100 Days of Writing: Day 2 Came here to say I did my thousand words for today. 🙂 I also just read from an online forum how harmful the idea that writers must write every day in order to be successful is, because it just adds to the unnecessary pressure writers feel about their output…

100 Days of Writing: Day 1
100 Days of Writing: Day 1 Just checked in to say I did it. Was torn between planning/researching and continuing writing. Had trouble stopping once I was into it. Used the Pomodoro technique via Pomotodo, two 25-minute sessions easily yield five pages of content. Note that I’m pantsing it, and this is typically not how…

#ReadOutLoudChallenge
Sabi sa recent tweet ng National Bookstore na they’re down to their last 809 videos. Mabuhay! GMG n’yo na lang how it’s done and what to do but let’s all get around to it if we can. I did my thing so long ago already I don’t remember having done it anymore. But then I…

Konting Consistency Naman D’yan!
‘Wag ka namang magalit! Alam mo, tulad mo sa buhay mo, madami akong plano para sa site na ‘to. Ganito, gan’yan, kailangan ko lang siguro masanay uli na magsulat nang mas regular. Ang dami kong pinagdadaanan, bes! Trabaho! Puro trabaho! Sa totoo lang hindi mo ‘ko maririnig magsabi ng ‘bes’ sa totoong buhay. Nakaka-tempt lang…

Kids Walk in on Dad’s Interview: Nangyari Na Ba Sa’yo ‘To?
Kanina lang habang kausap ko ang taong nagpapakain sa’kin (i.e. my boss), sumingit ang nanay ko para magpasalamat sa bigay n’yang Tokyo banana creme pie. Hindi ito ang unang pagkakataong nag-intrude ang real life domesticities sa pa-serious telecons na kailangan mong iraos kung naka-WFH ka. Minsan na’kong nabisto ng mga tumatahol na aso, tumitilaok na…

Fine, Magba-blog na Talaga
E wala, busy ako e noong mga nakaraang buwan. Mostly dahil nagsusulat at nagtatrabaho at nagre-Reddit. Sabi ko sa sarili ko sa simula ng 2017 magbablog na ako. Totoo naman, nagbablog naman ako, hindi ko nga lang ma-publish publish. Pero kumbaga sa pangangating tanggalin ang plastic sticker sa screen ng bagong biling phone, wala mang mabuting kahihinatnan…

Tao Rin: Olympians
Wala lang. We can’t all be Olympians, but we’ve all goofed around (intentionally or not) like these guys. Nakita mo na siguro ‘yung classic finish line smile ni Ginoong Usain Bolt, pero baka hindi pa ‘to: Erm nangyayari ‘to sa totoong buhay, at kay Fu Yuanhui. Masakit s’ya: Or ‘yung magapa-cool ka sana ala this one with Sun Yang’s…
