Back in my Junior High School days, My English and Filipino Subjects teaches all of us how to write Stories. We were required our own original short stories. But the first short story I actually completed was when I was in my 4th year in High School.

It was about an adventure love-story written in the Filipino language of Tagalog. My Short Story got too long and it was not included in the compilation of all our short stories into one Book. I was the only one who's story was not included among my classmates.

I was really hooked into my own story, that I really thought about writing a book series about my two Protaganist Lovers and giving them new adventures. I tried to write the manuscript on paper and the outline of the coming Book Series.

Back then I have no knowledge how a book is published and all I know is that I need to print my manuscript and get it book bind by a local book binding service. I did not have any money to get it book bind so I quit the idea about the books I wanted to write.

I first knew about self-publishing that way. But I always end up in losing my confidence to complete one Book. The next time I tried writing a story was in 2009 where I found out about this Avatar Website called Gaia Online, I saw that they have this writing forums for stories to post and get critics.

I tried to write my short story called ''the little witch'' most did not like it and there were lots of criticism about the story in the technical sense of writing. But it was not a discouraging one just things to keep in mind. I deleted the post because I thought that I did not have the talent at all.

I thought for a moment that maybe I could turn it into a Book and get it Book Bind. But since I did not have any money, I just forgot all about it. In 2010 I was searching for Harry Potter trailers for the Half-Blood Prince Movie in Youtube. Just on the other videos on the side of the screen I saw a documentary of J.K. Rowling: A year in the Life.

I watched the whole video about her life and the process in how she wrote a Book. I was not just inspired to write a Book but also got motivated to become an Author myself. That is the only documentary about an Author I have known about since then.

After watching that documentary I got inspired to write my own book and started to plan out what story to write. J.K. Rowling was an inspiration to me and her story motivated me to write and finish a Book. It took me a year to finish just 50,000 words with all the revision and editing.

In the end literary agents rejected my work plenty of times and there were nice rejections that says ''maybe try another agent'' or ''We want you to continue your work'' and while other agents is discouraging and begs me to stop writing all in all saying ''you are no where near the standard of professional writing.'' or ''You will never be good enough.''

But with that, I started to discover ways to self-published online and hoped I could at least get lucky that my works will get noticed. I continue to write as a Hobby maybe not Professionally but Passionately being an Author.

It is inspiring that J.K. Rowling continues to receive rejection but moves on using them as motivation just when she used a pen name that is not recognizable. But eventually people get to know, it was her for her similar writing style on the Roberth Galbraith books.
