Hi heto na naman ako! May nagbabasa ba nito? Hehe if wala, okay lang. Who knows someone badly need some bad tips just to push him/here to write and stumble here hehehehe

I'm busy these past months sorry for the lack of updates but anyways, I'm back from the grave! Yaaay!

Question:

from @Jeyrhey
Ate Tammii ask ko lang po san kayo nagsusulat/gawa cover sa cp or pc?

✒️Depende po kung nasaan ako. I mean story ideas rush in my mind anywhere and everywhere, like if may business ako sa banyo tapos biglang may naiisip akong plot twist, sa cp agad! hahaha (yas I bring phone sa cr)

or if nasa public transport, cp talaga. Most of the time sa cp ako nagsusulat becoz mah mind is a bitch! Yung tipong nasa harap ako ng laptop ko at willing magsulat pero ang lame ng naiisip ko! Tapos kapag siksikan sa jeep, jusko doon na papasok lahat ng ideya, dialogues etc!

So yeah, cellphone ako but if nasa laptop ako, isesend ko sa phone at dito ipopost! But mas maganda sa pc/laptop kasi mas mae-,edit mo kapag doon. Still, it depends sayo kung saan ka komportable.

So back to the Subtitle for today's update:

How to develop your protagonist

This is actually one of the hardest part of writing for me. Kasi, aside sa plot, sa synopsis and title, your characters are what will make your story exciting.

Yes maganda ang plot mo, pero paano kung walang kwenta ang characters? I mean you must establish your character to make sure readers wouldn't drop the with just a few pages.

Protagonists
— basically, si protagonist ang bida ng kwento/main character.
— make him/her worth remembering
How?
Establish the character in a way na kapag sinabing ganito, your character will be remembered.

(Ate Tammii, kailangan bang positive para maalala nila?)
— this depends on your style. I do both good and bad characters. Example, if readers says BRAVE WATTY GIRL, we have Amber. Kapag sinabing TORPE WATTY BOY, automatically they remember Gray. That's because I established their characters that way.

Another example, kapag sinabing mayabang—yes we have MATH. I like how I established Math, I think it was effective. Every time I read comments on parts na nandun si Math, G na G ang mga readers samantalang ako, natutuwa kasi tumatak sa kanila ang character ko which is mayabang.

And here's Jeremy. I established him as someone full of puns and nonsense remarks and yep, kapag may mga walang kwentang Joke, readers would remark:
"JEREMY IS THAT U?"  Which means effective ang pagka-establish ko ng character.

You need to do the same. Make your character interesting. So back to Math, she's boastful, daring and all but she can be of great help since tech geek siya.
