As of right now (Feb. 10, 2021), I have ~30,000 words done and probably another ~30,000 still to go. Here's a brief blurb about it:

"Torres and Abby have been stealing car emblems in their town for the last two years, managing to gather quite an impressive collection and making a name for themselves among the inner circles of their high school. Lately, they have been butting heads and trying to outdo one another, leading them to argue in high school during lunch period.

Kate is a new student who moved from Hawaii. Contrary to the stereotype, she is not a surfer but carries with her an old-scarred skateboard wherever she goes. Once she learns about the car emblem stealing business, she signs up to join the gang, sparking a conflict between Torres and Abby, who both want to show off their skills.

As pressure mounts into a rising conflict between Torres and Abby, they both agree to a challenge (aka., the big score) to see who is the best emblem thief in town. The loser not only has to “retire” but publicly declare the winner as the king or queen in town."(less)

Hello 2023

It seems that my last post was from September 03, 2021, so perhaps at the “risk” of starting up this blogging thing once again, here’s what I wrote down as I sat down to ponder on what I’ve accomplished this past 2022. In no particular order:2022 in Retrospective Writing Both “I.C.Q.” and “The Big Score” were translated and published by Brazilian publisher Editora InVerso and can be found at my Bo Read more of this blog post »
