Deviation Actions
So, I've been gone for ages--mostly trying to get somewhere and work. I work the night shift and face the computer throughout my 8-12 hour shifts, so you can imagine that it's the last thing I want to do when I get home. Things have been going well on the home/life/work front. I got promoted and am now busier than ever. Hence my writing side has gone into some sort of deep hiberation. Imagine a really fat bear that decided to just go to sleep for an extended winter. I feel like I can no longer hear the characters in my head.
So, imagine my surprise when I (finally) take a deeper look at my devart account. I normally pass by and just check how many pageviews I have (never a lot, I like being on the lurker edge of this world). I'd like to thank everyone for the support. It's nice to see that there are people who appreciate my work and (I don't know how to say this in English, my heart feels full, I'm so dramatic)
So thank you for:
First, the numerous s and . I've honestly never had so many!
Second, the Daily Lit Deviation news.deviantart.com/article/79…
Third, thanks to everyone who took the time to comment, leave a criticism or just share their thoughts. I know that sometimes the hardest part of writing is when you feel like you're the only one who feels that way and then to have someone tell you they feel the same way and you were able to put in it in words for them is an enormous, wonderful feeling.
More updates to come soon, as soon as my writing bear comes out of her cave.

I hate the new DEV ID
I really do. I'm not a hobbyist, professional or whatnot. I'm a writer. I write. WHAT ARE YOU DOING DA? I loved that I could stay here and just say I was herding llamas.

SQUEEE: VINDICATION!!!
After what feels like years of getting rejected for publications, I'm happy to announce that one of my poems is getting published! :dance: More news when I get it but it will be part of an anthology of Contemporary Philippine Literature. I feel really happy about it (believe it, I thought I was getting another rejection email/letter and almost trashed the thing, but thank heavens I didn't.)
Three (THREE) of my short stories are also being considered for publication, and I'm sooooooo excited. Boys, After The Everything and FuckIT, which I've moved out of PRL for the time being. Boys is one my personal favorites--and has been the most popular
Of pie, rain and other adventures
We make pie today. It seems to be the perfect sort of day to make it. Rain falls quietly outside, but the sun is shining. The storm that graced the northern part of the islands is gone, but here it rains almost every day.
There are extra apples in the fridge, all sliced and ready to go. We hope we have enough for two. I make the crust while Yuji preps the filling. We switch--he rolls out dough, I cover apples in sugar, flour and cinnamon. We stuff apples into the plate, making sure there is no room. He makes the lattice top, I push butter into the squares. Syrup spills over the sides. We worry about it burning and place it inside another pie
Rediscovering haiku
A flower in a glass bowl is my first memory of haiku. A particularly enthusiastic art teacher of ours in fifth grade plopped it down in front of us and told us to WRITE A HAIKU. Sadly (and now looking back the memory shames me slightly), I distinctly remember ignoring it and creating a horrible poem about something else, and bugs. Nowadays I find myself watching things more, striving for conciseness as I rediscover haiku.
