The Wattpad Filipino Block Party 2021

QUESTIONS / MGA TANONG

How did you adjust your writing in your stories, may naapektuhan ba because of work/acads and life?

Actually, it’s quite the opposite. If something happens sa life ko, naapektuhan iyong stories ko. Hindi maiiwasan mawalan ng gana, or naililipat iyong current mood sa chapter na sinusulat. That’s why I always make sure that whenever I write my stories, I’m in a good mood and I have the energy to do so. 

What do you prefer to write: Series or Standalone stories? Why?

I prefer to write series. Kasi you can get the readers hooked na to the other characters and that will pique their interest and look forward to the next story. As a reader too, I want the second leads or the other characters to have their happy endings.

How do you motivate yourself to keep writing?

I read messages, comments and reviews of my readers. Sometimes, I search my name sa twitter and Facebook and upon seeing a lot of users recommending my stories gives me a sense of satisfaction and energy to continue what I’m doing. Pero kapag burned out talaga, I stay away from Wattpad for a while to refresh. 

Among your stories, what particular scene is difficult for you to write?

In Remember When, nahirapan ako sa Barcelona scene doon. Actually, lahat ng scenes ng trip nina Michelle at Brent nahirapan ako. I did a lot of research about the places featured on that story, also, I need to build up their relationship in a natural way na hindi lalabas na pilit. Haha

Saan kayo mas nacha-challenge sa pagbuo ng first chapter o sa epilogue?

Definitely Epilogue!! Endings are the hardest to write. Bukod sa sepanx, you also have this urge to write it perfectly so that the readers can say na “worth it basahin”. 

If you can bring one of your characters to life, who will it be and why?

Pwedeng dalawa? Si Vaughn kasi bet ko personality talaga nito. Tapos si Mella iyong isa kasi feel ko talaga masaya siya maging friend.

Among your characters, who's the closest to you? Why?

Definitely Michelle from Remember When. I based Michelle’s character from my friend who that time was brokenhearted that’s why the plot for Remember When was focused on moving on. I also got a lot of messages from girls saying na nakakarelate talaga sila kay Michelle.

If you could collaborate with any author (local man or international), who would it be and why?

If local, I already had a collab with frappauchino. I also do want to collab with Gwy and Aniya B.  if given the chance since I love their writing style. If international, Elle Kennedy!! Why? Try reading her Briar U series and you’ll know why!

Anong famous story (be it classic or contemporary Literature) ang hinihiling mong ikaw ang nakapagsulat? Bakit?

Kristine Series ni Martha Cecilia. Para sakin, maituturing itong classic dahil kung fan ka ng romance pocketbooks, hindi pwedeng di mo alam ang Kristine series ni Martha.

What are your future plans in your writing career?

Right now, I just wanna finish all of my pending stories. Plan to self publish some of my stories as well.
