It was but a most pleasant surprise and an extreme honor when Savage Mind invited me to do a book signing at the festival last Sunday. It remains surreal that people find interest in and buy my pandemic project tribute love letter to my beloved grand-aunt written for the Bikolnon Book Series. Then again, the indomitable force and guiding influence she was to my life is unparalleled, and being able to share but a tidbit of our relationship and our story with a wider audience is but an honor.
I still feel uneasy calling myself an author simply because I feel like one book does merit, nor turn me into that. But what I am truly excited about is how the love for books is still around because for as long as I live, I will advocate for holding the real thing – reading on an IPad, a tablet or a Kindle just does not do the same thing for me. As voracious readers, we also must do our share in making sure the publishing industry has enough fuel to keep on going and to stay on.
Books did not only bring about a love of reading for me, it honed my writing and exposed me to many different perspectives I would otherwise be oblivious to. In reading, I am able to craft my own style when writing, and in exposing myself to the styles of other authors, I gain more confidence with my own voice, and am able to write more fearlessly. In promoting books and its widespread use, we are also encouraging a generation of empowered individuals to come.
