Other authors/writers have "fandom names." At one point, I wondered how it feels to have a fandom of readers rooting for you.
But there's also this feeling that I don't want to "own" these readers. In Filipino, ayokong angkinin. I used to call them Blondettes, based on my old Watty user name. But now, I decided on one word.
"Dayo." In Filipino, it means "visitor." A lot of them are readers of other authors, and even if I'm not their first choice, I would still like to thank them. ❤
Nothing is permanent in this world, but thank you for giving my stories a chance. Thank you for saying that you enjoyed it, you loved it. Thank you for supporting my passion. I hope it touched your lives in one way or another.
P.S. You can also find the word "dayo" in "Padayon," which means "to keep going." Let us keep going and remain steadfast in living a good life and touching other lives too. ✨
