This is the thread for

1.) all professional istoryan writers...
2.) istoryans who love to express themselves through writing
3.) istoryans who would love to increase their skills in writing
4.) istoryan writers at heart

If you are a writer, what is your forte? and why?

say anything about writing (experiences,etc.) and how important writing is in your life...

OT: maybe we can group together and write a journal or something..hehehe..

i once was a feature writer....
by heart, i will always be a writer...
i would've wanted to take up journalism but fate had other plans...
there were times when i thought natay-an nako ug writing
but then, when you love writing, it will always be a part of you..
writing is my emotional reservoir...
i pour all my emotions in writing..
there are times that i am at a loss of ideas
and there are times that at the most unexpected times,
an idea just comes rushing in...
i miss writing...

I've won first place in the Feb. 2002 Essay Writing Contest in Royal Oaks International School when I was third year...

I've written about 20 screenplays, all of which are stale most of which I don't even consider that I wrote because they are that bad...

I think I just got rejected in my application for our school paper in San Carlos.

and I hate writing. I wanna jump right in and direct.

i write screenplays for SineBuano.

OT: MrBiddle: your screenplays aren't THAT bad, they just need revisions.

[MrBiddle]

idol nako si M. Night... he writes and directs.

This is the thread for all istoryan writers...or those who love to write...
Are you/ were you a part of an editorial board?
if you are, what do you write most?

say anything about writing (experiences,etc.) and how important writing is in your life...

OT: maybe we can group together and write a journal or something..hehehe..

1. Three (3) non-fictions published by the United States Agency for International Development and released internationally.

2. Eighteen uninterrupted years as 4Xweekly columnist and political risk analyst of Sun Star Daily and The Freeman Daily.

3. Global winner (representing the Philippines) in "Democracy" writing competition called by the State Department of the USA.

4. Wrote romantic stuff "Dear Ana" for a Sunday space in Sun Star Daily.

5. Wrote the investigative "Muro-Ami" which became the investigative piece in aid-of-legislation by Congress when it looked into the muro-ami operations some years ago; syndicated by almost all national papers.

6. At present, I am a part of the Editorial Board for a book publication initiated by Phildhraa and DILG.

I am now retired and enjoying the fruits of my labor in younger years.

Your idea to form a "writers group" is a very good idea. Count me in if I qualify.

Oh, by the way, I am a cousin of Crashburn, in whose heart you reside.

SineBuano,

Don't mess with this thread. It is for writers. This is not for any glib talker. Bring your dirty guts somewhere else.

Sinebuano might not be able to mess with this thread, but being on the public forums, I sure can moderate it. Play nice. Be nice ... before you get humbled by someone bigger than yourselves. Blongkoy, your comments towards Sinebuano was uncalled for and they were deleted. Please take your dirty laundry elsewhere. Replies from pnoize2k4 in response to Blongkoy were also deleted. Keep the criticism constructive.

Vern,

Thanks. You did the correct thing. But how I wished I could tell you the real score.

In the meantime, I look forward to some grouping of writers within iSTORYA.NET as proposed here in one earlier post.

[thisbe.ara]

It is always an honor to mingle with writers, and successful ones at that...
I am looking forward for more...

i am really not into script writing but I sure am interested to learn..
hail to Blongkoy... that's a big list you got there, and m sure it's growing...
