My goal for this space is to develop an audience

Who is it that wants to read my book? Anybody? Once I get around to pitching it for publishers, however that works, they will want to know that more people than just my mother will want to read it. I have some grand ideas which hopefully will draw in readers. I am seriously thinking about creating a Substack. All the cool kids are doing it. At first, I had an idea to create a devotional which now seems pedantic and hard and not much fun. Another idea I have, which will require more time to implement, is to offer serial stories. It worked for Charles Dickens, right?

I want to cry but there’s no tears falling from my eyes

Keywords: ilaynyx

I’m not good at anything nor have any talent. However, I’m trying out new things recently and have even done such things that I never did in my whole life or if I ever did, it was only a few times. I’m actually doing it for me to figure out the things that I can do well or the things that I’m good at, as well as those that I’m capable of . The same thing that I’ve been doing for almost two years now. I’ve been trying to write stories and poems either in English or Filipino, depending on where I could work on it very well. Also, I tried to make a blog which I really want to, ever since when I was younger.

I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was young

Keywords: Personal , introduction

After years of working in university newspapers and literary magazines, I ended up learning how to write in an unexpected, cutthroat industry: advertising. It’s exhausting on a day-to-day basis, but when you’re surrounded by the right people, it can be really fun! And it’s always a thrill to see my ideas come to life, even if sometimes it feels like it takes forever.

I want to learn from what’s worked (and what hasn’t) in the past and adjust for the writer I am now

If you’ve been following this blog, you’ll know I’ve done 30-day first drafts of my last three manuscripts. I LOVE this process, but now that I have a chronic illness, I may have to adjust this a little to make sure I’m taking care of myself.

I want to say that it might still be worth it to try reading that paragraph

Keywords: non mathematical soapbox

You might say it’s because in a story, you know that the author intends to give you all the information you need to understand what’s going on, whereas this is not the case in mathematical text. My response: you can learn about the mathematical object in the same way you learn about the character in my dad’s blog. Notice that you learn things about this person in a very nonlinear way, and you’re expected to track and piece these things together while you build a reliable mental image of this person.
