First let me introduce myself. I'm Monica, feel free to shorten it to Mon. I'm 25 and I'm leading a double life. Or triple. I'm one person during the day, another at night, and another one during Tuesdays (currently it is Tuesdays).
Have I confuse you yet? LOL.
This blog is dedicated to the night version of myself, a version that I hope I can be even during the day and Tuesdays. That version is the one where I call myself an author or a writer.
So yes, this blog will feature the ups and downs of my amateur writing process, if anyone's interested in that. (Note: Please be interested in it, I'm hoping to generate an audience for when my book is actually released)
I once read the Writing Tips from Veronica Roth at the back of the Divergent novel. At that time, I've already begun writing. In there she wrote: STAGE ONE: Word Vomit.
And I laughed.
I have managed to break even the first rule.
What I do is I edit. Even until now. I don't know why I get the idea that most writers will condemn this type of behavior, but that's what I think, and yet I still do it. I just feel that if I'm not happy with it, neither will my readers. Right? And I suppose everyone has their own style.
Speaking of my readers, for now I should actually called it "my reader." Singular. There is just one person who knows about the night version of myself, and this person also knows about the day version and the Tuesdays version. How very awesome this person must be. I love you, person. And she said she loves my book! The part that I let her read, at least. She said it's full of suspense and makes her wants to read more. So I'm hopeful!
Oh, I should also tell you what my book is about. (Duh.) But I can only tell you what it's NOT about, because I keep editing and rewriting it. It's not about vampires or zombies, but it is fantasy. So for you who are somewhat bored with vampires and zombies and the likes but still expect a little bit of magic in your life, please gather round. I promise you won't be disappointed.
I think I should stop here for my first post. Want to guess how many times I edited this post? LOL.
Why don't start uploading on wattpad? You can see what people might think of your story.
