1. Writer's Note(BLACK DEATH)

Writer’s Note
Do not think that ‘Black Death’ is just a piece of imagination; it is more of an inspiration than a story to entertain.
‘Black Death’ is a story of death and darkness; two fearful words signifying end. The story started in an ending for the people to seek for the beginning.
Black Death is a story of an epidemic, a dreadful face of reality. It is a tragedy that in the end turns into a beautiful history. An inspirational story where Science and Faith meet, making it dramatic to hit hearts.
There will always be hope, if you cannot see it; you can make it. But if you can’t make it, you can be it. I want the story itself to speak to people so I will just end this short note with a quote.
“I hope I can teach you through words so you will not need a deadly experience before you learn what I want to teach.”

2. Remember you...

I really want to inspire through the stories I write. I just finished watching "Remember Me" and its writer Mr. Will Fetters just got a fan out of me. I regret asking my friend about the story because I already knew that Tyler played by Robert Pattinson will kill his self. I heard many people did not like it but I really appreciated it. I understood the signs and his reasons why he committed suicide. But in real life, committing suicide is one of the worst action a man can do.
I was inspired by "Remember me", most of the stories I write are about suicide since I want to keep planting in people's mind that it is wrong. I want suicidal rate to lessen until it banished. I hope someday I can make this happen.

3. Writer's Block: It must be love

Do you remember your first crush? Did you ever tell that person about your feelings?

View 469 Answers



I do not know what is going on inside my head when I was a child. I transferred to another school after prep then I heard things about crushes and best friends. I needed to be in so I told them a story, I told my new classmates I have a crush on a guy named Carlo. Carlo is the only boy I can remember from my first school. Why? Because he is a bully who bullied me there.
My first real crush?
I am still trying to figure that one out but I am sure it will take me a long time before I figured that one out since as a child I made up a lot of stories, now it is hard for me to differentiate what are the facts and lies.
Maybe one of these days I can start writing listing the guys I said I had a crush on then I will try to see who are the guys I really had a crush on. From that, I can actually find who my first crush is.
Then I will share it :)

4. What is this feeling?

I do not know why I feel so bad. I feel like I am going nowhere. I have a dream, I am almost giving up my interpersonal relationships and now I feel like I am also losing myself. I feel sick that I feel like I am different from other people. I feel like something is wrong with me but I do not know what it is. I already spent half of my life trying to figure it all out. But up to now, I still ask myself why am I still alone and why am I unhappy of what I chose to be. I do not regret anything I have done, it is just that, I feel like I am not moving. I do not want to cry, it is just a waste of time as of now. Maybe after I already achieved what I want to achieve that is the only time I will let all these suppressed pain out of me. SO that time, it will no longer be pain but happiness. I do not know how long it will take me before I finished what I am trying to do right now. But i will try to assure myself that this time, I will not fail me!

5. Lie. Lie. Lie

I hate reading books. I do not have any interesting personal experience to share. I do not know why I want to be a writer and I do not know where my stories will come from. I cannot get it from the heart since my heart is not keeping any good story, neither my brain. I am a really a lazy person, I do not want to be lazy, believe me. But I just cannot help it. My grandmother always tell me that lazy people do not succeed in life.
Not succeeding in life does not fear me, in fact I do not care. Until I realized that I really want to be a writer, how it started?
 HONESTLY, I am a liar since prep, I also do not want to lie but I do not know why I do it. It is a sickness? I do not know, all I know is that is what I am good at. That is the only thing I am good at.

LYING....
I know it is not right so I want to turn that bad side of mine, a good thing. Actually, it is only accidental. I do not that I am already turning my lies into something good... A story. 

And my stories help me, it changed me and I hope someday I can also help other people through my words.

6.

I tried to keep on motivating myself. But I do not know why something in me keeps on telling me that I cannot do it alone. I need a mentor!
Maybe it is because of the articles I have read in the net. I think it is not that important but it just that, it bothers me. The articles convinced me that I need a mentor for support and motivation when it comes to writing. I know I can, I can keep on telling and convincing myself but it is not just enough. IT is hard for me to have no second opinion and I guess it will be weird if the second opinion also comes from me. I do not know what will happen for the next days but I will try and I will continue writing the novel I have been working on for months now, I need to write. This is my dream and I do not want to fail myself. I trust myself.
