Anyone joining this year?

Personally, I'm not sure as I don't have any novel-length stories in my head. Actually, I do but I'm not sure if I want to write it down as I'm currently undergoing a crisis in writing identity. Kind of like: am I writing for myself? Am I writing for an audience? Which audience, local or international? Should my writings have some social commentary? Should I just go for the weirdest, wildest ideas without concern about trying to SAY something? Maybe I should just get that ham sandwich?

Ya know, writing questions like that.

Of course, I suppose it's because am pickling over ideas on postcolonial/emergent literature and discussions over Ian's blog about what's wrong with Philippine literature.

*sigh*

Things were simpler when I was younger and thinking of childish pastiche derivatives of whatever book I was reading then. Of course I've always wondered what part of my subconscious I got that story of trying to get the Earth revolving again via two nuclear missiles.

Wala lang.
