I'm sorry but this 2nd installment of C Duology is just demanding to be written. Naninigaw, nanggugulo, ayaw magpatahimik. So I gave in. xD

        I finished writing Laurie's story Definitely Fonder a year ago. After that, puro na ako epistolary novels na may paminsan-minsang narration. Because of that, medyo nag-struggle akong simulan 'tong Absolutely Smitten nina Malie at Theo.

        I read the foreword I wrote for this story a year ago and I admitted not knowing the overall plot. Ang arrogant pakinggan, 'no? Masaya akong i-announce that I know better now. I'm being more intentional now.

        Of course, I'm still leaving space for my characters' decisions to come to light. As their writer, responsibility ko kasing pakinggan sila.

        Anyway, if DF was about chasing and keeping our passions. Itong Absolutely Smitten naman, magfo-focus tayo sa healing sa kabila at sa gitna ng pagiging adults. Here I am, returning to writing narrative novels after a year. The magic of writing is still there. I still think and feel for my characters.

        At gaya ng lagi kong sinasabi, sana gano'n din kayo para kina Malie at Theo.

        I hope you feel for and with them. I hope this story feels like a warm hug for the inner child we had to temporarily bury to bring food to the table. Sana magkaro'n (pa) tayo ng opportunity'ng balikan siya.

        Pero kung 'di palarin, sana magkaro'n pa rin tayo ng pagkakataong maging masaya.

        This is the second installment of C Duology. P'wede niyo munang basahin 'yung C Duology #01: "Definitely Fonder" pero sa tingin ko, hindi naman gaanong nakakaapekto 'yung mga nangyari doon sa mga mangyayari rito. Basically, parehong mundo sila pero kaya naman nilang (itong #assmwp at 'yung #dffdwp) tumayo sa sarili nilang mga paa (stand-alone xD).

        Anyways, posibleng may ibang characters (galing sa ibang stories) akong isingit dito pero s'yempre, hindi na sila ang focus.

        And last but not the least, follow me @floeful on Twitter! And please, please use #assmWP or #CDuologyWP when tweeting your reaction. I post a lot of drafts there before actually publishing them.
