In the Midst of Progress
What's up, everyone? I know I haven't been writing on my blog lately since I had a sale on one of my books. In fact, I haven't been on a lot, because I was binge watching a lot of the shows that I have discovered. I mean, I never binge watch a lot, but I guess I deserve it because I've been working hard lately. But I don't want to be distracted to much on the shows I have discovered, since I want to work on my writing.
Speaking of my writing, I've been doing so well lately, thanks to a hint of my anxiety. But most importantly, keeping some time away from my writing with the help of books and shows did help. I felt motivated and inspired like never before. Hope I'll keep that up.
Oh, and if you didn't know, I have a new banner up on twitter. It's all thanks to my sister who created my banner who is also a youtuber. Do check her out on Youtube or Twitter. I do appreciate if you guys give her love and support, because I have helped her with ideas for channel and am a camerawoman.
I think some of you have known what I've been doing lately. But if no one knows, that's ok. I usually discuss things in groups, but it would also be better to discuss this in my blog. Last month, I finally got a job that's decent and, for me, has been giving me good pay. Maybe it's not much, but to me, it is. I could think of it as a start. I'm still progressing and I hope to continue working both physically and mentally.
And, it's kind of funny of how I progressed. Since the time I was in high school and college years, I've been terrible due to anxiety attacks and depression. But, more importantly, I was emotionally destroyed by the ones that made me feel terrible. I was going to say that they were responsible and have effected me for the way I was, but they're no longer responsible since they're long gone. But they sure have given my invisible scars and, to tell you the truth, I've never felt better. And with a little help of the support team I had, I've gradually been getting better.
And look at what I've been doing! Not only I'm creating new, innovative stories, but I have also been getting back to watching anime again (note: I haven't watched anime since high school due to issues I've been going through). And what's even better is that I've been helping with my sister on her Youtube channel. So if it's not progress, then what is it?
Sorry if I'm telling you guys this, but I just want to share with you all on how I've been doing. I love giving you all updates and sharing all of you of what's on my mind. Even though I'm better, I still try to progress every day. And I will promise you that I will create more stories for you guys to read. In the meantime, do take care and stay up-to-date with my blogs and social media, as you check out my books so far. ^-^

Rejections Make You Stronger
Hey, everyone. What a hectic week it has been for me. I can honestly say that I was stressed out from work, after covering for someone. Later on, I will be even more busy, but I will do my best to relax and take it easy on myself.
I just wanted to share my rejection story, because I could shed some light to those who aspire to write. A year ago, I submitted a short story for an anthology. I was really excited, because it's once in a lifetime opportunity, so I'd rather not miss it. The next day, I got rejected (how quick was that, huh?). At first, I was disappointed for a couple of days, because, honestly, it was my first rejection letter. Plus, they didn't even point the "serious editing issues" that I have in my short story. But after that, I decided to share my short story in my blog so that you guys can read it (remember A Christmas Spark? Yep, that was the one).
This year, I entered a short story competition for a chance to have it published through a publishing company. You may be wondering, but it was only because I wanted to give it a shot. Besides, I wanted to get the feeling of going through the traditional publishing route. So I waited a few weeks after submitting my story, until I received another rejection today. But hey, at least I gave it my best shot. And honestly, I wasn't hurt because this happened. Plus, I was so worried about not making it until now. 😊
So what am I trying to say? I'm saying that don't be crestfallen, just because you received so many letters. Be proud that you made an effort to submitting your work. Keeping finding opportunities and have some fun. Even if you get several rejection letters, you will eventually get stronger 😊 It's the honest truth, coming from a writer who has lived through these experiences. ❤💕
But I will still self publish my work, while I find opportunities to get myself out there. I promise you. I'm still working on my next book so far, and I hope to finish it really soon for all of you.
Stay up-to-date with my blogs or my general posts. And stay tune with the special announcement that I want to share. I'm going to talk about it before Aug. 27th, I promise you. Anyway, take care, my lovely audience! Have a great weekend!
