One Day I will write a book

I can still remember the first time I discovered chick literature. I was inside my favorite hangout in Glorietta, the old National Bookstore facing Park Square, when I discovered a quite intriguing book by Jane Green. It was on sale so I bought it. 

I could not put it down! That's the time I discovered Jane Green and years later I spent years trying to complete all her books. Like me, her writing and topics differ and she wrote according to her phase in life. Her topics have changed from being the ultimate single gal to settling down. Now I've moved on from the UK chick lit author to Irish Author, Marian Keyes.

One Summer, I was happily browsing my newly purchased Cosmo magazine and it came with a mini pocket book:

I love this! Too bad, it wasn't for sale. It's no longer available for years now and I wish this would be re-launched, because I lost mine.

I love this book by Tara FT Sering. I don't mean to put Pinays down, but I really did not think that Pinays can pull off a Chick Literature book, but Tara FT Sering sure did, and she did well (and along came the others and I got to know more of them like Maya Calica).  I think I was 21 when I read this. It dawned on me and realized that I wanted to be a chick literature author. I want to write about feisty,  funny, fabulous and smart women. Just few weeks ago, my best friend and I had a book sale haul and her mom went through my selection of books. She said I am fond of witty female authors. That's because I am surrounded by witty female friends!

When I had my heart severely broken, the old me would have blogged about it. But the, "new, in-quarter-life-crisis-me" wrote a make-shift e-book instead. I wrote a mini-novel in February 16, 2011 and saved in a pdf file. It has 31 mini chapters in 65 pages. I let a friend who I don't really see often read it and she said I'm really heart broken.But I don't want to write about broken hearts and bad recovery.

Now years later and a lot wiser (I believe) I was reacquainted with my desire to write a chick literature book. Now I am declaring to the Universe,that someday I will write a book! I will write a chick lit book and I already have an illustrator to work on the art of my book, none other than my friend/colleague EISEN!

Someday, I will write the book and fearlessly offer to publishers and prepare myself for rejection. Actually I did write already to some publishers for a pitch but haven't got a reply, but that's okay. I believe, one day I will release a chick lit book that I have written on my own. My desire to be a chick literature author is far stronger than my dream to be a make up artist.

But I think, it will be necessary to use a pen name for the topics that I have in mind. #DefinitelyNotThe50ShadesofGraykind
