After a winding-down activity, of course. Don’t wanna lie in bed still in over-editing mode

This whole time, as a new writer, I have been so focused on ticking all the checkboxes of being a good writer. At the end of the day, I don't even get a good noodle star, I just get OCD

Was reminded this, so I’m just passing it on ❤️

Omg same here! I also struggle to show character reactions. Can you give a review later on The Emotional Craft of Fiction and your thoughts on it?

Oh and if you know, you know:
Ginataang bilo bilo is coconut cream with glutinous rice balls and fresh riped jackfruit 🤨💅

It might’ve been the writing, but I had a hard time relating to the other stories.

The most interesting stories for me are The Kontrabida and The Miracle Worker. Not to spoil too much, but the mother and the maids are so familiar and kind and ten pages later you don’t know them anymore. (🙈)

Maybe the better word is naïve. Not to risk spoiling too much:

In the beginning scenes his white mother and white friend knew more about certain happenings in the Philippines than he himself, a Fil-Am.

He also gets called out/explained to by other Filipinos who have lived in the country.
