One Writer's Motivation.

I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo,
and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly,
I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight,
to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.

~Richard Wright, American Hunger, 1977

I have finally decided, at 18 years of age, to publish my own book. :]

It is an anthology of short stories with a common theme, with a tentative title (which, by the looks of it, may be the final title) of Demise: Thirteen Short Stories of Love and Misery. The short stories are comprised of thematic ideas ranging from frogs to falling objects, but what’s unusual with them is that they do not make up your typical love story – that is, if they are love stories at all.

The plan is that there will only be a limited number of copies to be released in Los Baños for all of them, and they will be out of print forever. Bwahaha.

The tentative date of release will be around August, as for according to the schedule of activities of this project, I will need the first three months for my drafts to be critiqued by the most distinguished writers and personalities within the campus. I have a list of prospected people in mind with me as of the moment.

Whatever the outcome is, one thing’s for sure:
It’ll be an assurance of my identity as a writer.
So help me God.
Hahaha. :]
