Frequently Asked Questions
(or also known as the questions I'm not good in answering).1. May kasunod po ba ang (insert title of my book)?
My initial reaction is poker face then I'll realize the world stop for thirty seconds or less. Then I'll start wondering why I should create a sequel or prequel of the novel he or she mentioned. At kapag pinag-isipan ko iyon madalas umaabot sa puntong nakalimutan ko ng sagutin ang nagtatanong. Which leads to not answering the question.
2. Anong sinusulat mo ngayon?
It's either I was caught writing on paper or I was simply asked by a person assuming or thinking I'm writing a novel somewhere. Pero ang totoo... "Wala po akong sinusulat." Pero kapag sinasabi ko iyon iba-ibang reaksiyon ang nakukuha ko sa mga taong kaharap ko. So I no longer tell them the truth but I don't want to lie either so I just zip my mouth and let them think whatever they like.
3. Puwede mo ba akong bigyan ng tips kung paano magsulat?
I think there's a lot of writing tips that can be found through Google (please take me seriously I'm not being sarcastic here). Maraming puwedeng ibigay na tips tungkol sa pagsusulat at sa tingin ko hindi ako ang reliable source para doon. Bilang isang ordinaryong reader at writer ay may maibibigay akong opinyon sa mga nabasa at nasulat ko na pero ang magbigay ng tips... parang hindi ko kaya iyon. Kaya pasensiya na sa mga nagtanong sa akin nito pero wala talaga akong maisasagot.... maliban siguro sa... Learn as you write. Pero alam ko medyo malabong sagot pa rin iyon.
