How I got my start and interest in writing

I believe it started when I was just in high school and possibly in late in middle school. At first, I was more interested in drawing and thought that animation would be my future goal. I always liked animated movies, Tv shows and comics so I assumed that would be something that I really wanted to do in the future. At the same time however, I also really liked reading and was intrigued by the stories that were written while also being interested in the various plot points, tropes, scenarios and cliches that they displayed. I would read novels, manga, comics and other kinds of literature that caught my attention while also still retaining my love for animation ranging from Western cartoons to even anime. Though personally, I preferred to watch traditional or 2D animation due to the art styles that made them so unique compared to CG/3D animation.

Over time, I would gradually lean more towards writing and storytelling as I found myself coming up with new story concepts and plots that could work in the future and would type them on my laptop or phone. I would often write during high school, especially during lunch breaks or recess, and that was when I realized that I wanted to become a professional writer and author in the future. Even when I entered university, I would often find the time to write down story concepts that came to my mind and see if I could make my own unique stories that could impact the lives of people. I also became interested in fanfiction as most stories that we see are in a sense fanfiction in their own right but with different names and titles to avoid legal issues. I even started creating my own fanfiction series, namely "Encanto X Coco" that is currently on Archive of Our Own. In fact, fanfiction actually helped me when it came to story writing as I liked the idea of crossovers and how certain characters and plotlines can be weaved together to create new stories of their own.

However what I do have is a pet project that I plan to write as a series of books if not a web serial for anyone who wishes to read and may even expand into a media franchise one day if successful.

The Spider Seamstress (premise)

Aranea Espinoza is a skilled seamstress in her own right as she definitely takes after her mother, Latria Espinoza when it comes to textiles and clothing. In this unique spin-off of "Tension of Romance", the cousin of Hayley Espinoza takes center stage as the protagonist where she tries to find out what her goal in life is while also experiencing romance on the way. It takes place before and during the events of "Tension of Romance" but it is told from Aranea's perspective while also focusing on how she became friends with the portly yet lovable goofball Wilbur Shanks.

Birth in Bethlehem 🌟(premise)

This is the story about the birth of the Christ Child but told from a different perspective. Figures such as the Magi and the Shepherds will be the protagonists of this tale along with the appearance of another character who becomes a popular Christmas figure herself. In this tale, their story will be told and will all center around the birth of Christ and how everything changed for them.

The first part will be told from the perspective of the shepherds and how they reacted to the sudden sight of the angelic chorus and their eagerness to see the prophesied Savior that they have been waiting for.

The second half will be told from the perspective of the Magi as they travel from the Eastern kingdoms/empires to Bethlehem while also stopping by to meet the old widow Befana who is grieving for her deceased child. Though she doesn't accompany them as she wishes to clean her home, she eventually changes her mind and secretly follows them so she may see what is so important about the Christ Child.

The third half will be told from the perspective of both Befana and the little drummer boy himself, who is named Aaron like the Rankin-Bass version, and how they end up encountering each other. Once they meet the infant Jesus, they are filled with hope and joy while also learning to come to terms with the respective losses in their lives. After the incident, Befana adopts Aaron while also befriending Mary herself and is allowed to be the child's nanny.

The ending will be a distant epilogue that shows what happened to them after Jesus' birth along with his eventual death.

This is one of my few openly Christian stories and one that will focus on Christmas. It will also feature some elements that may have not been explicitly shown in the Bible but at the same time, I wanted to make it realistically, historically and Biblically accurate.

The Origins of TerrGeo

I am planning on creating a novel series if not a media franchise in the future that is a major pet project that I have been working on for years. It is called the "Helpers Circle" and will be the first installment in a series revolving around a fictional universe known as "The TerrGeo Universe". In fact, I have actually created a video that serves as the origin story of the TerrGeo universe itself along with its lore and creation as it will be crucial for the main plot in the near future.

Here is a link to the video if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2oGY55hKRg

One Rainy Day (Premise)

Coral Sullivan has lived with her aunt Susan Sullivan ever since her parents died in a car accident during a terrible storm. While she goes about living a normal and relatively happy life, she does everything she can to help the various people around her. However, her life changes when she and her aunt encounter a little girl all alone in the rain. When they find out that she was abandoned by her mother, they decide to take her in while making sure to inform the police of said little girl. The little girl, whose name is Sheena, becomes the little sister that Coral never had and they become close to the point where Sheena doesn't want to leave her side. However, what Coral doesn't realize is that she, her aunt and various others are slowly being dragged into a mystery that revolves around Sheena's past...

It was mainly inspired by the horror thriller manga and anime "Happy Sugar Life" except it will be a lot more optimistic with more likable and sane characters.

Surviving (premise)

Louis Andrew Frederick was the sole survivor of the traumatic incident involving his whole family getting slaughtered right in front of him. Though he is able to find a new home with his cousins and relatives, a part of him fears that the killer will come back to hurt him in some way (despite the killer having supposedly died years after his family's death). Can Louis move on from his dark past and find a brighter future with his new family and friends?

Louis was partially based on an old character that I created as part of a really old story concept that would be changed a lot throughout the years.

Burns and ashes (premise)

Natalie and her mother never went back to their old neighborhood after their house was burned down years ago. Now as a teenager, Natalie wants to find the mysterious person who saved her from the flames as she wishes to find a way to thank him. However, getting answers might be difficult due to the fact that her mother refuses to tell her anything due to the trauma affecting her. It isn't until she happens to go back to her old hometown for a visit does she find out who saved her and what happened to him.

Retrace (premise)

After a young boy becomes the sole survivor of a terrible car crash, he is revealed to have become amnesiac and lost all of his memories before the accident. Not only that, he was actually kidnapped by the mysterious people who got killed in the crash and may have been a target by some unsavory men. As a result, he is placed under the care of a police officer named Officer James Godfrey and his wife Wilma Godfrey. With assistance from Doctor Wazowski, the young boy will have to find out who he is so that he may be returned home while also helping the police crack the case on who those men were and why they kidnapped him in the first place. Going by the temporary nickname "Atlas", he ends up exploring the area around him despite not realizing just how dangerous and merciless the world can be. At the same time however, he is able to make new friends and help bring out the best in even the worst people (or at least those who think they are the worst).

Funny thing is, I actually used this concept as a project for one of my creative writing assignments back in high school as we were to put together a premise for a potential TV pilot and write a script for it. I plan on expanding it and maybe add it to my other stories as part of a shared fictional universe.

What's wrong with mommy? (Premise)

While their father is at work and unable to help them until later, the children will have to take it upon themselves to find out what happened to their mother and why she is acting like this. At the same time, they discover a terribly dark secret that has been kept hidden from them for years up until now...

Together, they form a unique friendship despite the fact that Jamie can't talk but can play the piano very well and form a musical duo who wishes to entertain others while communicating through music.

Limited Time (premise)

Franklin Bright is a humble science teacher who is known for making sure that his students have fun while also learning something new. However, when he finds out that he has cancer, and right when his wife is pregnant with his second child, he decides to make use of his limited time to spend with his family while finding a way to ensure that they are able to live financially well without him. However, during his final days, he discovers some rather sinister secrets that have been hiding within his neighborhood (and by extension the city that he lives in) and becomes determined to protect his family and friends no matter what....

Basically inspired by Breaking Bad only it's less cynical and more optimistic along with having elements of superhero/vigilante themes.

My New Step-Mom (premise)
