"You are naturally curious." I remembered our coach in journalism. Sabi nya "If you're a writer, dapat chismosa ka, kailangan lahat ng bagay inaalam mo. Because that's one of the quality of being a writer." 🥺
Omg HAHAHHAHAHWH truuuu naalala ko rin tuloy yung coach namin also daw dapat makapal ang muhka, lalo na pag may aalamin ka, ganun (like interview or magtatanong)
I once lost my ineterest in writing when I didn't win a regional contest. Someone called me a 'fake writer'. I cried all night 👁️👄👁️ Here's ate demi giving me the courage that being a writer is not measured by awards.
I started writing since I was in Grade 5 after I got inspired by a book that was given to me by my aunt. It was when I realized I had the potential to write and that my extensive vocabulary had its purpose. Kahit na nagki-cringe ako dati sa mga stories na nagawa ko, I still take it as an inspiration so that I can improve and write better.
As a writer, every people you encounter is a story and everyday you live is another chapter to write. Every personality is a character and every movement is a scene
When I started writing, damn, truly there's no turning back. Kahit maghugas, maligo, magwalis, yung utak nasa pagsusulat, nag-iisip ng mga lines at mga plots HAHAHAHHAAHHA tapos maba-bother ka kapag di ka nagsulat 👁️👄👁️✋
When I was in 1st yr college, my classmate told me "self-proclaimed writer", after I told them that I love writing, especially poems. It really hurts my feeling, And from then on I doubted my self, capability, skills, and ability when it comes to writing. And now, I am a third year college already, taking up English as major because I wanted to be an author someday. Manifesting. ✨💜 Thank you for this, Ms. Demi! 💜
"You have hundreds of ideas but it's hard for you to write it all" Legit. Sobrang dami ko na naisulat sa drafts and notes.And then,one morning...Di ko na sya maituloy because may bago na naman akong naisip na plot for a new story 🙂
level 2 hits different + the fact na may isang book draft ka na nakalaan lang para sa lahat ng mga idea na ayaw kang tantanan na hanggang sa panaginip nag-pplot ka. also, discovering NANOWRIMO about 8-9 years ago (not sure what year exactly) is the trigger for me to write. i tried for 2 years and failed to finish nor meet the daily quota. last year, i tried again (not officially) and finished it despite all the hiccups of storm, sickness, and power interruptions. it was my proudest accomplishment. i never knew i could push myself to write 50k words in 30 days straight. ever since, i try to take on challengesㅡthings i initially think i cant do and then do them to the best of my abilities. if i fail, then i can just try again next time. if i succeed, its just another skill unlocked and must continue nurturing.
You! Yes, you The one reading this. Someday you're going to be someone's favorite author, like ate Demi. If you can write a sentence, you can write a book, as Sha Nacino once said. FIGHTING!🙏
Im a day dreamer and im also related to "Hundred of ideas but can't write it". Thanks a lot for the advice I will keep it in mind. Your advice give me courage to keep writing.
Level 1: Potential - bookworm, good in words, and you prefer writing than speaking. Writing essays, poems, scripts, and lyrics are easy along with journaling. You always have something to say, naturally curious, feeling weird and different. Collects stories, and keen observer to your surrounding. Level 2: Intermediate - deeply empathic, every person you meet is a potential character to your story, and search a lot of random facts. Sucker for baby names, easily inspired by books etc., many ideas, and love me-time. A book-hoarder, new words with deep meanings, and a daydreamer. Level 3: Mastery - you write because you can't live without writing, anywhere there's a story in your head, and a rebel or nonconformist to normal beliefs. Writer's block is nothing, sometimes you don't mind writing for fun, and can't sleep at night 'cause your thinking of a story. Frustrated when your not writing, not afraid to say no, and have a solid writing routine. You feel like writing is your life purpose. This is unexpected, I expected to be a potential writing. My level is an intermediate writing, she very much described me.
I started writing stories when I was 14. Dati, sulat kamay pa ako dahil hindi pa naman uso noon ang mga computers and internet kaya thankful ako sa wattpad kasi naging way siya para ma-share ko yung mga ideas and imaginations ko. and totoo yung sinabi niya na even though no one reads your stories, mababa yung rank or views, you doesn't care kasi masaya ka sa ginagawa mo. I am already 26 and I still love writing :) Thank you for this nice video!
Somehow this video makes my confidence boost to update kahit walang nagbabasa. Your contents is very helpful for someone like me, who's just starting to write. Nasa Intermediate lahat ng signs ko😀
Comment n'yo lang pag relate kayo sa bawat signs na mababanggit! :D Anong level ka na? hehe And sa di ko nabanggit na signs, comment lang kayo hehe thank youuuuu
Hindi lang hanggang search ate demi, sini screenshot ko pa talaga at napuno na 'yung photos ko ng random things. Baby names din. Inspired ako palagi hahaha.
Ako na daydreamer, kaya di ako nakakafocus pag nags-study mag-isa HAHSHSHHSHAHA and lalo na sa mga favorite kong scenes sa isang wattpad story, iniimagine ko ako yung andun and minsan pinapalitan ko or dinagdagdagan ko ng mga gusto kong mangyari HAHSHSHAHAHAH
Level 2: Intermediate - Deeply empathetic Every person is a potential character Searching random facts Sucker for baby names Easily inspired by movies, books, etc. Many ideas Love me-time Book-hoarder (I like reading so~ I never had a book that I hadn't read) Loves discovering new words with deep meanings (it's hard to remember them, though) A daydreamer This is unexpected, I'm an intermediate one.
I was 10 when I became the best scriptwriter of our school way back in elementary. 12 when I first entered writing industry, 13 when I became a journalist student, a member of writerhood, 14 when started writing a novel and now...after editing my manuscript, I'll publish a book too. So much proud of myself. Write to express not to impress. And write because you want to not because they wanted you to write. Every writer has the potential to succeed one day♥️
Skl lang po ito hehehe I started writing last year. But I am a reader for a very long time. Natatakot akong magsulat noon because of "expectations and the reality that being a writer means failure". I overcomed that, and used that and made that my edge. My edge is "To work and dream for a better world than a perfecr one. To prove people I can write above their expectations and I will write but will not be considered as a failure, but to considered as a human with a dream". I stick to my edge, and I already finished books and I am still currently writing. I agree with all the things Ate Demi said. But I also want to give an advise that "You as a writer, must have an edge". I am not a professional, but I know my edge is going to take my many places. So think about your edge, and used it to achive great things. Hope someone read this💛💛💛
Sana maovercome ko rin yung takot ko... Kasi hanggang ngayon takot parin ako na baka pangit mga sinusulat ko.. hanggang sa notebook lang ako until now..
Isa na siguro ito sa mga signs na dapat kong ipagpatuloy yung pangarap ko😭 Thank you po Ate Demiii. Ipupush ko 'to habang or pagkatapos ko ng college ko.
"You have hundreds of ideas but it's hard for you to write it all." relate ako dito kasi minsan may mga plot or scene akong naii-sip kaso parang ang hirap i-convert into words yung mga ideas na naii-sip ko anyways ganda ng advice nyo ate demi💖
Pasok sa 'kin lahat nung sa intermediate maliban sa daydreamer. I'm more on a nightdreamer HAHAHA. Nakakainis yung tipong patay na yung ilaw tas may biglang pumapasok na ideya sa isip mo.
Another sign: Writers treat writing as a job that should be done. It's a responsibility. And is it only me? Na pinupush talaga ang sarili na makapagsulat kasi parating nariyan 'yong thought na baka mahuli ang lahat? Kunyare may biglang mangyari sa akin tapos 'di ko na natapos ang story na ginagawa ko. I mean, before/if I die, (I'm pessimistic sorry haha) I want to finish at least one novel. Edit: Lalo na ngayong pandemic. Nakakatakot kasi hindi natin alam ang mangyayari kinabukasan. Life is uncertain so do what you want to do now. There's no room for laziness and procrastination, if you really want to finish a novel, write now or else it will be too late and you'll gonna regret it for eternity.
Actually, meron po akong paboritong writer tapos hinihintay ko po siyang mag update but last update niya was last year pa, kaya medyo nagtataka ako bat ganon naman ka tagal siyang hindi nag uupdate (di ko na alam kung anong nagyare sa kanya☹)
@@biscooverloaddynananananan7944 hala. may i know the username? marami rin kasi akong mga kilalang writer na naghiatus kaya baka kilala ko. and nasubukan mo na po bang i-visit socmed accounts niya? nakakapag-alala talaga 'yong ganyan na bigla na lang nawawala. 😔
You're descrbing me Demi, TBH almost six years na ako nagsusulat doing my Devotional reading my Bible and I written down the revelation of the Lord He'd given me everyday. Pumasok ako sa wattpad gusto masubokan sumulat ng fiction and my first ever story I wrote was published by abs-cbn and I am praying na mapublish na siya into printed na. But I am into inspirational and Spiritual at may sinusulat ako as of now.
This inspired me a lot. I was writing stories since when I was in high school. Wala pang wattpad noon, I'm just collecting notebooks na di na nagagamit at dun ko sinusulat lahat. Ngayong may wattpad na, gusto ko na e-publish mga story ko at sayo ako na inspire na wag sumuko. Now I know, belong pala ako sa level 2 of intermediate😅
Natawa lang din ako sa search history ko kasi meron akong "unique baby names" to "how does a human body react to being poisoned by maitotoxins" kaya pag nagsesearch mga kaibigan ko sa cellphone ko di nila alam kung ano sasabihin nila XD
Hindi ako nakakatulog kapag wala akong nasulat sa araw na iyon tapos kapag nanaginip ako, nililista ko iyong mga scenes and iniisip ko na isali iyon sa story na sinusulat ko.
Hayst Grabe! Parati akong nagde-daydream anak ng tutcha! Kahit yung mga nababasa ko lang sa mga books at sa mga stories sa wattpad eh iniimagine ko. Kahit habang naliligo, kumakain, nagsasagot ng module, naglilinis, kahit nga habang nagkaklase kami HAHAHA
When I was young, my dream was to become a writer. I remember mahilig akong magsulat ng poems, shorts stories, and journal as well. But As time goes by dumami influences sa paligid that lead me to forget about it. Warching this vlog, naevaluate ko ulet sarili ko, and most of what have said in level 1 and 2, I still have those qualities. It really reminds me of my dream. Maybe, I’ll give it a try this time.
"You can't sleep at night because of your stories." hindi talaga ako makakatulog ng hindi ako nakagagawa ng plot ng story or bumubuo ng kung anu-anong scenes sa utak ko. Parang naging ritual ko na bago matulog.
True hahaha nakatutulogan ko na pag-iisip kung anong mangyayari sa story tapos minsan pag masyadong maganda naisip ko bigla kong nakakalimutan kinbukasan
I already finished my first novel. I self-published it on Amazon but it just didn't work out for me. So for my second novel, I will just be sending the manuscript to world-class literary agents hoping to be recognized.
I'm so thankful to my English teacher so making me join an essay contest back in grade 4! Made me realize how much thought I could put into writing and how much I enjoy it.
ATEEE I WANT TO TAKE THIS CHANCE TO THANK YOU PO. 😭 MY BOOK WILL SOON BE PUBLISHED. IF RU-vid DIDN'T RECOMMEND YOUR VIDEOS, BAKA PO WALA AKONG NASIMULAN. MY PARENTS ARE SO HAPPY HUHU AND ALSO I AM SO HAPPY. 😭
Nung mapanood ko ang mga vlog mo Ate Demi, 'yon yung nag-push sakin na 'wag mahiyang magsulat. Kase sobrang gustong-gusto kong magsulat before pero nahihiya nga ako. Pero ngayon HAHAHAHA yes, nagsusulat na ako at masarap sa feeling na naiisulat ko yung mga nararamdaman ko, nagsusulat ako on my own way.🥰
Naalal ko dati sobrang frustrated ako kasi akala ko wala akong talent haha. Sobrang laki ng pasasalamat ko sa wattpad at quarantine kasi na-unlock at mas nagkaroon ng sense yung buhay ko omssbdskdhsk
AAAAAAA YEZZZ, sa sobrang dami kong inspiration and ideas ang dami ko nang stories kahit na wala namang nagbabasa HAHAHAHAHA kung saan-saan na ako nag iimagine kapag naghuhugas ng plato, naliligo, nakahiga, nasa gala etc. AKO NA NGA YUNG INAASAR NG MGA KAIBIGAN KO LAGING LUTANG KASE NAG DA-DAYDREAM!! HAHAHAHSHAH
Nakaka doubt din, kasi lahat ng nabanggit from level 1-3 naranasan ko at nararanasan ko. May iba lang na hindi siguro 2 lang. So nakaka inspire ito. Ang dami kong narealize dito! Thank you Ate🥺.
"You feel frustrated when you're not writing" Sometimes naiinis ako kasi hindi siya maalis-alis sa utak ko hangga't hindi ko nailalapat into words haha, kaya lang tinatamad din at the same time.
I'm inspired with this video. Sa ngayon puro tula palang ang nasusulat ko. Pero matagal ko na gusto gumawa ng isang kwento. Once ginawa ko siya nung high school pero hindi ko naipag patuloy. Gusto muli mag umpisa.
So, that explains everything. Kaya pala ganito ako ka-weirdo ... Its normal nman pala because i am a published writer. Sometimes im overtly expressive and some other time im so reticent. I've always been fascinated by stories. Lalo n yung true to life stories. From it kasi nakaka collect ako ng ideas. And it keeps me going. Parang pag pedal lang iyan ng isang bikers eh. In order to keep the balance, you must keep moving. I just thought medyo kakaiba ako. That is why most of the time nalulungkot ako. Pero ngayon i realized, nadarama ko lang pala ang negatibong emosyon n iyon just because ako lang ang writer s kapaligirang ginagalawan ko. So, i think kailangan kong makakilala ng mas marami pang writers at kailangan ma-meet ko sila in person at maidagdag sa list of kakwentuhan ko. By the way thanks to you Ms. Demi. Being a writer is a gift from God. Anyone can write but not everyone is a writer. Knowing this, mas matapang n kong magsulat ngayon. Hindi katulad dati. I have to consider so many things kaya i cant think and write out of the box. Just imagine mula 2005 nagsusulat n ako pero i only have 5 books n na-published? Kaya here i am, bumabalik sa una kong pag-ibig. Ang magsulat. Hindi dahil malaki na ang bayad sa paggawa ng novels ngayon kundi dahil mahal ko ang ginagawa ko.
Minsan nga feeling ko ako yung character. I-aakting ko pa yan sa harap ng salamin para makita malaman ko ang isusulat ko. Halimbawa, nanggilid ang mga luha ko o kaya naman kinilig ako, etc. Wala lang natatawa lang ako hahahahahaha
I'm not a self proclaimed writer, nagd-doubt pa rin ako sa sarili. But this video, Ate Demi slapping me the signs na sobrang relate ako. Thank you Ate Demi! Na motivate ulit akong mag sulat, drafting ganon HAHAHAHA basta maisulat ko yung mga daydreams ko❤❤❤
Nagsisimula pa lang ako tapos nakita ko 'tong video na 'to. Nakapasa ako sa level 1, may isang kulang sa level 2 at may dalawang kulang sa level 3. Binibigyan tuloy ako ng gana mag sulat nito ngayong nalaman kong may potential ako. Kaso lang I'm also an artist (self proclaimed) kaya nahihirapan akong ibalanse yung mga passion ko since dalawa silang kailangan ng attention.
I've got 9 in both levels 1 and 2; 8 for the 3rd level but those were when I was in high school. I stopped writing as I entered college. But I'm trying to bring back the passion. This video is a big help po.
Ang daming ideas na tumatakbo sa isip ko, but sometimes, it felt so hard to express it. Like, ang daming plots, sa tuwing nakakaisip ako ng bagong plots, I felt very excited. As in! But once I start to write it out, hindi ko mai-express ng maayos ang mga gusto ko mangyari.
ate demiii thank youuu sa content na 'to. Dati pa man sobrang gustong gusto ko na magsulat but I always do feel na hindi para sakin ang pagsusulat. But your words motivated meee and I love you for that. Keep writing and keep inspiring us. Godbless u more!
Natutuwa ako kapag may narinig akong "dialogue-worthy" para sa kin o nakakatuwang sinabi ng isang tao o pag-uusap ng mga tao. Katulad ng dalawang bata na kapit bahay ko nang marinig ko ang pag-uusap nila habang naliligo ako. B1: "Nakahiga na yong halaman, oh. Natutulog kahit hindi pa gabi." B2: "Tanghali kasi." B1: "Ah, oo nga." Ang soothing ng short and simple convo na iyon para sa akin kaya masarap ang ligo ko non. Lol.
"You search a lot of random facts or stuff." Me who searched about being a stripper because I wanted to understand what's it like, so I could write about it in my story since my main is one: Uhm....Hi?
Relate na relate ako dito, to the point na my heart started racing. May fear na nasa loob ko,, fear to write in english, I overthink things, especially sa grammar, yung tipong isesearch ko kung ano ba talaga, nakakatakot lang na majudge ng mga tao dahil sa sinulat mo. But, I. Will. Start. kasi my heart started racing nang mabasa ko ang huling sinulat ko years ago, i plan to continue..... Thank you pooo!!!!!!!
Tbh, I don't like reading books! But when I'm g6, I had a crush that good at writing short stories, that's a different kinds of genre, nanghiram ako sa kanya ng isa sa gawa nya, sinusulat nya lang yun sa G6 pad, that time I inspired, I prefer shorts stories than long one, G6 until now, I'm still writing, I'm proud of my work, I'm currently writing a story called " I fell in love with a famous author" I recently started it, I hope I'm gonna finish it so that I can make my idea to a another story
