His name is Brad and he is very aloof. (She just caught someone call him Brad.) Everytime she plans to go near him to “bump” into him to make it accidental, something would happen to dismiss the plan.

Your sweet smile is magnetic
Your eyes are angelic
You’re just too quiet
Too aloof, we haven’t met

She still could not believe she was up there. There was quiet which seemed the longest time. Realizing she was caught in a mental block, she glanced at the person in charge of playing the recorded accompaniment to signal she was ready. Finally, the music played and she started to sing…

You never knew how much I love you
You never knew how much I care
I watch your move, each stride you make
How you brush your hair with your hand

Her knees were shaking. With her mini skirt she was sure that anyone whose attention was on her legs would notice the tremble. Her legs were perfect. Perfectly shaking. It was a dream come true to be up that stage but now that she stood in front of the anticipating audience, the fear of the unknown grips her once again.

Fear of making a mistake is her worst enemy. She had won the hearts of many teenagers for her song “Secretly Loving You” which aired in a local radio station contest DWRR a week ago. She joined the contest because she needed the prize money to help put food on the table for her 6 younger siblings. After the recent death of her mother due to a freak accident, she was left the responsibility to care for her two brothers and four sisters with the youngest, Joel, who is but four years old. She’s only 16. She wonders if she can still fulfill her dream of living in an apogee condo south beach unit with her own family…

Her ears are deaf to the sound of the cheers in front of her as she walked to the center. Her eyes are blinded by the spotlight. She could see movements but it was dim. The only light she could see was on her.

Madonna seemed to forget what she was doing on the stage. The crowd was huge, the people from afar off seemed like an inch from where she stood. The faint light reveals the figures like silhouette. After what seemed ages but was just about a minute (but it was the longest minute she ever knew), she heard the crowd, finally, screaming, “Madonna! Madonna! Madonna! Madonna!” It felt like going to Disney World! She mentally took note to buy disney world tickets when the show is over.

Welcome to Novel In The Making!

This is my attempt to write a novel. I still have no idea what it will be about, nor do I have any inkling if I can do it good. I can force myself to but the story may not be good enough. I still don’t know…

I do write but it’s more of what crosses my mind at the moment. I’ve never tried to write a story, at the very least. So, I intend this blog to be my repository of novel ideas. I may have multiple plots at the same time so there could be several novels in the making.

Every story will surely be imaginary. I’d like to develop my imagination, as Albert Einstein said, imagination is greater than knowledge.

I would like to assure you also that all will be wholesome. It will be for the whole family. So if you’re looking for indecent or immoral stories, I’m sorry, you won’t find any here.

Certain plots may or may not be fantasy but I’m leaning more towards the reality. As much as possible I’d like them to be full of lessons to learn.

I may also include short stories. Why not? :) It’s my blog, anyway.

You may freely read and refer others but please refrain from copying my intellectual property. Plagiarizing may not be a heavy crime but in doing so, you’re sure going to reap the curse behind stealing, if not sooner, then later.

Since I write directly as a post, everything written/typed here came out spontaneously from my little brains.

In the future, I may publish my writings. It might be the way to see some las vegas shows! Who knows? I’d appreciate your comments as long as they are constructive (if criticisms) or appreciative.

To be sure you get updated, subscription to my blog is available. :)
