hello po. I'd like to encourage and plead you po sana to leave a comment in every chapters of my stories. bilang manunulat, nais ko lang po sanang malaman yung saloobin nyo. kung na-iyak po ba kayo, naasar, na-inspire at meron po kayong natutonan. but I'd like to clarify rin po na I won't tolerate snide remarks and insults at downright na panlalait sa akin at sa mga characters ko. masakit po sa akin ang ganun, sana maintindihan po ninyo. I'll always appreciate constructive criticisms, for it will help me hone my writing skills more.
          
          
          Maraming Salamat. 

guys, please leave a comment po sana. gusto ko lang pong malaman if may readers ba talaga yung stories ko. please? 

Hi!
          
          I noticed that some of my uhm, readers are unfollowing me. I don't want to be concerned about it, or worried---but I just wondered why these things are happening. I know I'm too straightforward sometimes, specially to those who insults and accuses me of malicious things here. If I'm appearing to be rude, I'm really sorry. I don't mean to offend and hurt anyone, that's why I'm apologizing if I ever hurt your feelings. Once again, I'm really sorry.
          
          
          kindly reply here so that I would know. I'm not after the volume of followers really, but I'd  just like to know why. 
          
          I'm sorry po ulit. 
          
          
          Thank you and God bless.
          
          Sincerely,
          Sam St. Cloud 

that really weird thing when these people follow you now, then unfollow you out of the blue then next day. like, hell---just make-up your mind. it's okay on my part, I'm cool with it. because seriously, when I started writing on this platform in 2022, I only have six followers back then and my first story only has 100+ reads.
          
          honestly, I don't look at the "FOLLOWING" thing here in my account. I only open this app to post an update, or put rude and vile readers in their place so they won't think that it's alright to throw shade and mock an Author whenever they want.
          
          
          so, it's be much better if you just read my works instead of following me. the thought of someone reading my stories are more than enough to make me happy.
          
          Sincerely,
          Sam. St. Cloud 

guys, let me just make one thing clear: I don't write in the first person point of view. and I never will. nire-respeto ko ang mga writers/authors na ganun ang istilo nila sa pagsusulat, ngunit hindi po ako ganun. and I won't change the way I write for the convenience of few people. if magka-ganun po, you can always unfollow me and find a story and writing style that will suit you best. pasensya na po sa inyo.
          
          
          I feel much more at ease and comfortable writing in the 3rd person omniscient point of view. sa ganung paraan, hindi lang sa lead character o protagonist umiikot ang kwento kundi pati na rin sa ibang characters. sa first person point of view kasi, you only read the story through the eyes and POV of the lead character who serves as the story's narrator. meaning, tumatakbo ang kwento base sa nakikita ng lead character at sa kanya lang naka-focus ang lahat. whereas in the 3rd person omniscient point of view, hindi lang yung isang lead character ang pinagmumulan ng kwento kundi pati na rin ang partner or love interest nya.
          
          
          Okay, for example---sa Wild Thoughts. si Johann ang lead character sa kwentong iyan at si Brianna ang isa pang lead character. I could use either of them to narrate the story but I chose not to. sa kabuuan ng kwento, may mga chapters and events na mababasa ng reader sa point of view ni Manny, Meredith, Senyor Zobel at ang Mama ni Johann. it is their point of view that I myself, the author is narrating. ang 3rd person point of view kasi, para syang drone camera na kita mo ang lahat, ang kabuuan ng kwento. ang first person point of view, ang nakikita lang ng lead character ang mababasa mo at wala ng iba. 
          
          and I'm not the type to use multiple points of view in a story. nakakalito yun, dahil para sa akin, lahat ng tao kahit fictional character pa yan---may kanya-kanyang perspective at pananaw sa buhay. NO TWO POINTS OF VIEW are the same.
          
          
          I'm sorry. 

I usually don't publish stories that are still on-going, but---yeah, here I am. the ideas just came rushing in and I have to put it into writing, so that it won't be stocked up in my head. I apologize if the updates are delayed, I'm still on hiatus until now.
          
          I'm thankful to you who understands my status as of now and still read my stories. Thank you for your support. God Bless you :-)

Hi author, just wanna say na ang gaganda ng stories mo. Keep it up po! God bless. ☺️

I have put enough trigger warnings on my stories, I also put one on each chapters. I hope this will be enough for those who are planning to read my stories---so that a day will come that I'll no longer be depressed with all the slanderous remarks you throw my way, as if I'm the most immoral author this platform ever had. I hope, once again---that I will not come across such people in here. I accept criticisms as long as it's constructive and will help me improve my craft, instead of just wanting to splatter mud on my face. my insignificant writing confidence is already at it's lowest, please don't make it shatter even more.
          
          Sincerely,
          SAM. ST. CLOUD 

Here we go again. How many times have I encountered retards like this one, who's not even my follower to begin with? hindi ba sinabi ko na dati pa and may trigger warning naman, pero bakit ayaw nyo 'kong tigilan? ano' to, lokohan? this story itself is of matured content. ilang beses na ba akong nagpaliwanag tungkol sa bagay na yan, para insultohin nyo ako ng paulit-ulit? If you're looking for a story with unflawed characters and a waving green flag, then you're on the wrong side of town. sorry kung na-trauma kayo, may warnings naman po kasi kaya hindi ka na dapat nagbasa pa. nakakasakit lang kasi na hindi lang naman ako ang may story na ganito at may mas masahol pa nga sa 'kin, but you're insulting me like this. I don't give a damn if you'll unfollow me, but I won't let you treat me like this.
          
          hindi ko babaguhin ang story at si Johann para sa ikakatuwa ninyo. unfollow me, go ahead. pero yung insultohin nyo ko ng paulit-ulit, hindi ko palalampasin yun. Hindi. I can always go back to the author who only has six followers and zero reads if it means that I can get my peace of mind back. 

sana all, nasa tiktok recommendations for wattpad stories. yung ginawan talaga ng video edits, yung makikita mong may effort talaga. how I wish at least one of my stories will also land on someone's wattpad recommendations/list and can reach a much larger reader population. I wish content creators would give a chance to unpopular authors like me, too.
