Celebrate joy!

Here is the post I wrote years ago! I echoed here what I learned from the 2 speakers, Tricia Gosingtian and Ana Santos. Tricia is a fashion blogger, so there's a part of the event in which we all had to pick out and model the outfits from Bayo then Tricia picked out winners from the attendees. So the event started with that then went into the specifics of fashion blogging then writing in general. :) Hope you'll pick up a few writing nuggets! Happy reading and writing!

There is one author who said that every writer has a voice. When she asked the crowd what this voice means, a few answered that it's their writing style, others said that it's what they write about (topic, content, genre)... But minutes later, she said that it is the YOU in writing. So it's the style, the topic, the theme, everything when you pick up a pen to write - that's your voice. A semi melodramatic confession: These past few months, I feel like I lost that voice. sniff sniff. That sounds a little way too emo, but I really felt that way. Pagbigyan nyo na ako. Haha!

Hey, I am feeling a wee bit contemplative today so I am sharing this short story I wrote 3 years ago :) I wrote it to sum up the year that was and instead of writing it as it is, I cocooned it inside a fiction. So it's like a realism + fiction. You may want to try writing one as the year comes to a close :)

There are curl-up worthy books that you just want to bury with under the covers... then there are the click-worthy blogs with thoughts, fads and raves meant to be consumed while sitting in front of the computer or with your mobile devices. So I thought I'd give the latter ones the spotlight they deserve: here are some blogs and websites I have been happily visiting lately :) Click, read and bookmark away, loves!
