Last week, Edgar Cruz, editor of Stir, and I exchanged text messages about him, writing, and showbiz. When my load went down to zero, I used Chikka, there where Sir Ed replied. And when my sister opened the said web-based messenger, she told me that someone replied, that read, "I leave your comment on Monday". To my surprise, I saw my comment along with the lawyer, director, writers, and people whom I don't know. Love it.
Last year, My letter to the editor appeared in The Manila Times, the country's oldest newspaper. It was also last year where I submitted my letter to The Daily Tribune, but it wasn't published.
I've read the book The Courage Consort by Michel Faber. It's easy a read. It's a three collection of three novellas, such as Nine Hundred & Ninety-Nine Steps; The Fahrenhiet Twins; and The Courage Consort, which gives the title of this book.
