#WriteBreakupSongsAbout - That One Thing!


I joined an online writing class for the third time and it was supervised by none other than Mina V. Esguerra, the fairy and a genie who creates opportunities for an aspiring writer like me, and I just love her for that, I mean she's an inspiration.

#WriteBreakupSongsAbout was not really a formal online writing class. It was a structured schedule to finish a short story inspired by any 1D songs. Yep, you read it right One Direction. From all their relatable and young adult songs, I chose One Thing.  I was specifically inspired by the line you've got that one thing and I need that one thing'. I had written this somewhat similar line in my story (but not literally as it was) and had written this story a few years back, so what I did, was revised the whole story to fit with the guidelines of #WriteBreakupSongsAbout. The finished MS was entitled My Hopeless Case. 

Enjoy the blurb!
My Hopeless Case 
Seal it with a kiss.
One of the weird instructions from the manual that is engraved on a rusty and old dagger that suddenly turns novel on a drop of a red liquid entity. It is strange, and Arian has no escape from it. She has been bombarded with strange things from the moment she has decided to sleep. Sleep with a dream that may last forever…
UPDATE: Received an e-mail from Mina: The gist of it was PUBLISH, so need to polish it and self-publish it. 

The complete story is available on Wattpad for only a certain period of time. Here's the link: My Hopeless Case



Happy reading! ^^

#HeistClub: Writing Crime Fiction

Sunday, November 15, 2015


#HeistClub was ahead of me after #StrangeLit, and yes it was another online writing workshop. It ran from October 1 to November 7, 2015. There were activities to write and submit, deadlines to meet, and two face-to-face meetings last September 26 and November 7.

#HeistClub was about writing crime fiction. And crime fiction genre wasn't and still not that popular in the Philippines, but Mina V. Esguerra along with Bronze Age Media as the sponsor took on the challenge. Crime fictions in English and Philippine setting by Filipino Authors, that's what #HeistClub has to offer soon...! 

18 Authors were able to submit their story on time and that's last November 7.


One of them is mine. I submitted it a little early. 


Titles to watch out for! Yay! 💕
