The Birth of Mang Kwento's Antics

Write... Write... Write...

Writing has been my passion ever since. When I was a kid, I used to write stories of all sorts. Things that are created by my imagination. Since then, writing has been my daily routine. Never a day that pass that I would not write. Often times, I just get a little piece of paper and scribble some notes or thoughts of the day. Tweeting or updating my Facebook status are just some of my daily cravings.

So, if writing has been my passion, what have I done to fulfill all the urges to write?

I wrote short stories and had them published in some national magazines that I don't wanna mention. I also created some blogs from the past years, used several pseudonyms.and managed to lure some readers. However, I was more of a low-profile blogger until I decided to quit since no one would ever bother reading my messy blog. :)

I'll tell you something that only a few people knows. When I was in high school, I used to work as a ghost writer for some "adult websites". These sites cater to adult sex stories. Yes! Sex stories. I used to write Tagalog sex stories for other writers who pretend to be writers. What I'm trying to say is I write sex stories for other people. I wrote all sorts of sex stories encompassing almost any genre.

So what made me stop?

I told myself, "Bakit ako nagsusulat para sa ibang tao?". Then, I decided to write these stories for myself. Yes, I lost some earnings. But what's more important than earning is the happiness that people appreciate MY work.

Fast forward. I left the sex stories scene. I've worked enough for the worldly pleasures of others and I also learned a new fad in the internet. SEO or Search Engine Optimization and I ventured to the world of Internet Marketing. And to cut the story short, here I am again back and blogging. Lovers or haters are welcome to read and hate. I may blog in English. Pwede rin akong mag-blog in Tagalog.

"Ako si Mang Kwento, meron akong kuwento.
Sana basahin nyo at maantig kayo
Sa mga kalokohan na hatid ko,
At mga munting aral na alay ko."
