It's been a while since I updated this book. Sorry! I'm just caught up with another book.

So, what do we have today? Hmmm.

How old are you when you started writing?

Me : 14

My first story was a romance-fantasy. I cannot recall the title because I have so many stories written following that first story. I cannot even recall if I put some title to it or not.

Back in that days, I found it so fun writing. Would you believe that I can think of four different stories while I was at the peak of writing another? It was crazy. And I can still manage to study and pass my exams while there is so much going on in my head.

Now that I think about those times, I regret not pursuing writing. When I went to college, I abandon writing, COMPLETELY. I was so focused on passing my major subjects (which consists of Math and Chemistry courses) that I cannot even spare 15 minutes writing. I also had my first heartbreak that dragged me down too. I learn to party and travel and have fun with my friends and colleagues. It was my first time being unleashed, so everything was new to me. I was too eager trying them all at once and I forgot my passion for story writing.

Now that I am alone with my son, I remember writing. And when I try to write anything, all I can do is stare at my pen and the blank paper in front of me. I cannot compose a single paragraph. Nothing is coming out of my mind. I lost the magic of words.

I wept. I'm not kidding when I say I wept over that blank paper. It was so hard getting back on track. I lost all inspiration from all the failures and heartbreaks I had before. Every heart break was one step closer to lose my passion completely.

It was love who fueled my passion for writing. When I was 14, I had a crush who became my main character in my very first story. It's funny when my bestfriend(which happened to be his cousin) found my manuscript at the back of my notebook, it was so embarrassing. There were no androids or Iphones, or laptops that time (or it's just we were so poor that even if there was gadgets like that, we can't afford it) so I use my old notebooks as my mediun in writing.

Its so hard getting back on my feet. Im so glad I had Wattpad who helped me rediscover my passion. My friends, followers and readers who encouraged, helped and supported me in my journey back to writing. I really awe you guys. You know who you are.

Don't let go of your passion. Help yourself, develop it. Nurture your gift and never ever get tired of it. Because when you start to lose it, you'll never notice that you'd completely lost it until its too late.
