Bevz, Kate and I, all working on our respective theses/books, packed our bags and headed to Vigan one weekend for some peace and quiet. We stayed in a 200-year-old house and had the solitude we were looking for. We vowed to write all day and never speak to each other save for mealtimes. So we wrote some, walked around some, shopped some, chatted some, ate some, and took lots and lots of pictures!
I must say that I found a renewed sense of purpose because of the Vigan trip. I had been having a lot of self-doubts about my writing recently and the trip provided me with fresh perspectives. It was a reaffirmation of sorts for me and that was what I so badly needed. And so I was able to set these doubts aside and convinced myself that there was still hope for the novel.
It will be done.

ReplyDeletewow! sikat?! kelan ito????
ReplyDeleteHahaha! It wasn't supposed to be a "pleasure trip" kasi. We were "working." Apparently, Tom Cruise shot "Born on the Fourth of July" in Vigan. Um, early 90s yata?
