COMPLETED WORKS as of July 2022

I started this year by publishing every single chapter I have written for my very first novella, 576 Hours With You. I finished publishing them all last January 21, 2022, including its special chapter. It's also my very first story that was related to my profession.

Last January 9, 2022, I also tried to join Wattpad Romance PH's writing contest, "Begin With The End." Given their prompt, I was able to craft Three, Two, One as my entry in the writing contest. Unfortunately, I didn't win but it was definitely a good writing exercise for me.

After that, I realized that all of the stories I will be publishing this year will be fluff. First time ko yatang hindi magpo-post ng angst stories this year. Brownout (Lights Off) is one of my old one-shots that I have rewritten. Admittingly, this revised version is a lot better than my first draft. I reposted this last February 13, 2022 to celebrate the love month.

Continuing the reposting of my old one-shots, OFF LIMITS was back last March 12, 2022. Among my old one-shots that I have rewritten, this might be my personal favorite because of the academic rivals to lovers trope.

Celebrating April Fools' Day on the 1st of April 2022, I have republished my one-shot collection about this particular holiday, April Fools' Day. My previous drafts had a lot of insensitive jokes and pranks so I really had to edit it.

During this mid-year, I decided to document the statistics of my stories as early as now so I could compare it to my statistics at the end of the year. Again, thank you so much for showing your support to me. I will forever be grateful for each one of you.

GOALS AND PROGRESS

So to answer my question earlier, have I really had any progress with my goals at the beginning of the year?

Have I improved my writing? I may have no concrete basis or criteria for this but I would like to think that I did improve my writing. Considering that I have revised a lot of my old writing, I think I have grown as a writer. I learned how to be sensitive about the things I'm writing.

Have I written more stories? Last year, I finished writing 5 stories. This year, I have published 5 stories as well. I cannot say I have achieved this already but we'll get there.

Trust me when I say it does not end here because I still have the next six months to tell more stories! For the next few months of 2022, if you are in my Telegram channel, you already know that I have plotted my schedule for the entire year already. This means that I already have prepared a lot of contents to share with you guys!

WHAT TO EXPECT

For the next six months of 2022, here are the things you must look forward to in AM Stories!

💉MedTech Love Stories Collaboration

This July, I will be posting my collaboration story with my fellow medtech students/writer, namely Gwayne (Queen_Wrecker), Jes (dyesiology), Day (daybiasca), and Jewel (guaninejwl). I will be posting updates everyday until the last chapter. I hope you check out my collaborators' stories as well.

Teaser will be out later at 7:00 PM. Watch out!
