Maria Ella (mariaellabetos) | 1353 comments Nakakatuwa ang facebook note na yan - two years pa nangyari yan. ang galing noh? na-preserve nya yung kasulatan ko noon. kakawili.

K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments Gawa ng Author's profile. At ako ang no. 1 fan mo hahaha

Tina (tinamats) | 2665 comments Hehe that's why I like online stuff. I could spend hours digging through old blog entries and such, just walking down memory lane. :) Of course, it means it's probably open for everyone to read that's why we are supposed to post with caution. :P

I have a blog entirely dedicated for the things I wrote. Will probably muster the courage to plug it next time (not that it's a secret haha).

But keep on writing! And this is crazy, but might I interest you in National Novel Writing Month on November? :D http://www.nanowrimo.org :) 50,000 words in 1 month! :D

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments So this is an essay taking on the grand theme of ... love! Siyempre, critic mode pa rin, hahaha. Just because a piece of writing is based on real life events doesn't mean it's credible or realistic. It sounded a little preachy to me. The writing is good, however, I'd prefer if one would stick to one language, unless this is a story involving local flavors, e.g. dialogue.

Pang women's lit si Ella! Woohoo!

I LIKE! wait lang, kelangan lang ma-inspire ulit. Pag tumatanda ang tao parang nawawala ang interest nya sa pagsusulat. or sadyang pagod lang sa maraming ginagawa. or wala lang talaga.

KD pag naging full-time writer na lang ako gagawa ng author's profile, ahahahaha kelangan ng fan base! ahahaha :)


message 9: by Tina (new)

Tina (tinamats) | 2665 comments Di bale Ella, November pa naman to. Lots of time to get inspiration. ;)


message 10: by K.D. (new)

K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments Kailangan talaga ang fan base. Kasi kung walang magbabasa sa yo, para ano pa't naging author ka hahaha.


message 11: by Ranee (new)

Ranee | 1902 comments it is lovely now but have you tried writing in Filipino? I feel there is more depth and flavor in the story if it were written in Filipino.


message 12: by Maria Ella (new)

Maria Ella (mariaellabetos) | 1353 comments ^ i'd rather find it more challenging to write it in Filipino language. Mahina na kasi ang aking talasalitaan (vocabulary?) sa panunulat. Kelangan ko pa ata ng diksyunaryong Pilipino. ahahah :P


message 13: by Maria Ella (new)

Maria Ella (mariaellabetos) | 1353 comments sorry, not inspired YET. there are times that you are stuck in the middle of nowhere. too busy thinking much, too busy reading, or too busy doing nothing in between.

darating rin yan, hintayin muna natin. :)
