Aspiring Authors Novels & Stories

I asked him, and he nodded before looking at the chef who nodded back at us. "So, Kate, what do you do for a living? Do you study or have a job?" Sharlene asked me, and I sneaked a look at Alvin who had a monotonous look on his face, though his eyes glancing at me gave a clear indication that he was listening to us. "I...um...I work. I am an aspiring writer," I blurted out, and she looked at me interestingly. "Yeah? Have you published anything that I can read?" She asked me, and I looked down at my plate, not knowing how to break it out to her.

It is through this dedication and perseverance that I hope to continue honing my craft, pushing the boundaries of my storytelling abilities. Writing is not without its challenges. Doubt and self-criticism often loom large, threatening to derail the creative process. The blank page can be intimidating, the fear of inadequacy paralyzing. Yet, it is precisely during these moments of vulnerability that growth occurs. Embracing the discomfort, facing the inner critic head-on, allows for personal and artistic evolution. I have come to understand that writing is not about attaining perfection, but rather about the journey of continuous improvement, of becoming a better writer with each word, each s

About the Author A college girl living in Bulacan, Philippines, who enjoys writing fictional stories ever since she was young. Anne Cunanan is a starting author who likes to write during her free time although she barely has any. She usually publishes her stories on Wattpad, but she also has a lot of stories that she keeps in private. She writes as a hobby because this is something she enjoys, not for fame nor fortune. Although her stories are not that well known, she hopes that those who have read them were inspired to write and dream. She likes to create characters that are relatable for people so that they can easily place themselves in the characters' shoes and pretend as if they are a

With each stroke of my pen, I breathe life into characters who dance across the pages, their stories unfolding before my very eyes. The anticipation builds, like a crescendo in a symphony, as I eagerly await the moment when Professor Steven's prompt will be revealed. Will it be a challenge to create a fantastical world filled with mythical creatures? Or perhaps a prompt that delves into the depths of human emotions, exploring the complexities of the human psyche? Whatever it may be, I am ready to embrace it wholeheartedly, to immerse myself in the depths of my imagination and let the words flow freely.

More like he's glaring at me. Oh my gosh. They squealed, making me praise myself for creating such an amazing story. I haven't tried creating a story to be honest, I applied as a writer in my school in the past and they said that maybe I can make a book. A book of shit. I'm a horrible writer. If Gavin heard this nonsense... Expect me to be 6ft under the ground. "What's next?" Jasmine asked.... That made me think... Isn't it enough? Do you want me to tell you my biography? What? Want me to make a book?

Alyssa, with a piercing gaze, said, "I hold high hopes for my authors, not like you. Especially this newbie, ah, I forget the name, but a little push from me, and who knows? They might be the next big thing." Pausing for effect, Alyssa added with feigned concern, "By the way, Lulu, I heard many authors under your guidance fell sick. Too diligent in their writing, perhaps? Ah, the pressures on authors these days. Writing 10,000 words a day isn't enough; some even write 20,000 to 30,000. They must think they're typewriters."

I mean… I write my own stories since I was young, but I just do it for myself. Right now, I want to share what I’m writing to the world! I actually attempted to share what I wrote to Jessie and she told me I could take a shot… but I felt like it’s still out of my reach—like I still lack something. And I want a known author’s perspective, Joaquin—who is also a fellow fantasy-romance author. I want a male point-of-view! Summoning all my courage, I began to weave my way through the crowd. I nodded politely to those who passed, careful not to draw too much attention to myself as I know some of them might wonder who I am…

But the man, still clutching my collar, asks: “What is, then, your story?” – and I feel so terribly helpless, because I don’t know what my story is! This is how aspiring authors fall into the trap. The inescapable trap of dream-sequences. Often, knowingly. The one in italics you have just finished reading, is perhaps a trap for me. I don’t know yet. But I feel it has a strange hegemony. It controls every idea, thought and dream which slither within my brain tissues. And that is how it connects to all that I think, I dream, I yearn for. It is like the first LED bulb in a string of decorative LED-lights blinking in a rhythmic loop. Forever.

Novelist[edit] This section is an excerpt from Novelist.[edit] A novelist is an author or writer of novels, though often novelists also write in other genres of both fiction and non-fiction. Some novelists are professional novelists, thus make a living writing novels and other fiction, while others aspire to support themselves in this way or write as an avocation.
