geez, this word count won't even make nano.
...
who cares :D
this is incomplete. i hope to continue the chapter later, but things are really busy right now.
just really wanted to post something just to prove the old brain still works! in tagalog. even if it's not running very well in this setting.
i resolve to write this in taglish, as i did with the hiatus-ed cyber kids novel. NO ONE CAN STOP ME.

i've been meaning to write a tagalog story about Eli and Abe, but i've been having trouble getting my head around the words. already have a general idea how it's going to go, just really need to sit down and write.
in the meantime, here's a snippet that i'm not sure i'll be able to use. just something to help me focus, i suppose.

yep, still raw - but at least it's a finished kind of raw :D
( Sometimes she pitied him - she remembered that now. He was carrying so much, and he was so small and weak. )

Another You, part 1
12 August 2013 16:25title is very, very tentative. my inspiration song of the moment is "There Will Never Be Another You" but i might change it. in my head, Ed's radio program opens with this theme song. but something more awesome might come along later.
there's also a section i've put a placeholder in. my prior experience writing radio scripts refuses to cooperate for now. sorry for being impatient.
( It was his story. No one else could tell it. No one. )

9 August 2013 18:48not all that happy about the writing, but just happy something is moving.
part 1 is here
( 'Your fault. You and your family. You did this to me.' )
part 1 is here
( 'Your fault. You and your family. You did this to me.' )
this is running a bit long in my head. i don't know how to chop it up without plodding. but i'm sure there's a way.
logging it down in the meantime.
( I'd always done things my way, and I went into this willingly, so I wasn't going to sweat it, wasn't even going to put in too much effort... )

My hometown is dying.
The M____ river that cuts through M___ town has been polluted for decades. And no one else is to blame but the Carrion family.
The Carrion family is a dynasty that has been in power in M___ town since Spanish times, when Ricardo Carrion curried favor with the imperial government by offering up a portion of his wealth to their coffers. Since then the Carrions have bullied, intimidated, bribed and stolen to stay in power, though their aspirations never got much farther than local level. They have tried to rise to higher government positions, but fortunately, their resources could only secure them a seat within M___ town.
As stewards of M___ town, the Carrion family allowed foreign corporations to set up shop, when they could get no permits from any of the neighboring towns. So M___ town flourished with an abundance of tanneries, rubber and plastics factories, recycling plants, and landfills.
All well and good, if only the waste had been better managed. But said companies clearly saw no need to adhere to any sort of health and safety codes, and M___ town, an idyllic greenland far from the metropolis, became world-famous for its toxic waste dumps. Its once-beautiful, crystalline river became the toilet of the world, as factories from all over came to systematically destroy all life in it.
And now that the M____ river is dying, M____ is also dying.

it annoys me how much time it takes for me to finish writing something this short. and it isn't even finished.
actually don't know if i'll ever finish it now, because you know how long(/-ish) fiction is sentenced to death: you post it in parts. this is just a short story but it's still pretty long by my standards.
all the same, need to have this out so i can take a better look at it. that, and i need an online archive as i change computers a lot over the coming days. pretending to do this for myself. sorry for the spam.

this definitely does not follow the previous section. in fact, this section is largely skeletal narrative, especially at the beginning. sharing it anyway because of drive to post something for the love of God and all things holy.

i refuse to edit this. after such a long lag, this update is really just to make sure the backlog doesn't completely murder me.
