had a workshop on review writing yesterday given by Philippine Daily Inquirer columnist Walter Ang. had fun, though i finally realized that in writing it's really prestige over pay. how i crumbled in my seat when i found out how much writers earn, but in the end i still want to write. he said the first trick to get published is to try. to email editors and publishing companies if they still need contributors and to do it for free if they want you to. because really, nothing beats seeing your first byline, it's worth more than a thousand dollars. okay, exaggerated a little. to try again if you get rejected, now that's the big challenge for me, because being ME, i'd probably cry for a week before i try again. haha. loser talaga.
anyway. i'm going to watch Dennis Marasigan's Ang Buhay ay Pelikula staged by the Thespian Circle tonight. i don't know what to expect. I'm going to support my ex sisses and brods. haha!
that's it for now.
oh and yeah, i'm entering a writing contest. yey for me!
