Hey, I'm supposed to be an independent, self-publishing fiction writer through my Samizdat Publications and yet selling my first published books had became difficult despite the good story quality and affordability of these. I think that I'll be returning soon to that search for a publishing company like I did in the past and so I must lay down my "pride" for my other unpublished manuscripts. I hope that I'll find a just and humane publisher who is open-minded to give chance to aspiring fiction writers like me, support Philippine literature and renewed interest in reading books, and without the attitude of treating the publishing industry as just some business gamble.

SOLILOQUY According to Webster’s Dictionary, soliloquy (so-lil-o-kwi) n. /plural soliloquies/ is the act of speaking one’s thoughts aloud in solitude; a speech in a play through which a character reveals his/ her thoughts to the audience, but not to any of the other characters, by voicing them aloud , usually in solitude. (derived from Latin soliloquium “to speak alone”). Grolier International Dictionary defines soliloquy as a literary or dramatic form of discourse in which a character talks to himself/ herself or reveals his/her thoughts in the form of a monologue without addressing a listener; the act of speaking to oneself in or as in solitude.

The moon in full phase on the night of February 14

Lovers’ moon caught between the thorny flowering branches of bougainvilleas

Guests: Bridget and Leona from my first published book "Dalawang Babaeng Umiibig" (please refer to the September 2013 post "Samizdat Publications")
       Those uploaded satirical artworks (except for the photos of the beautiful full moon and the People Power book and Asin CD below)  are from the imagination of this weird blogger yet they somehow became symbolic; just don’t ask anymore as long as "Confident" by Justin Bieber feat. Chance the Rapper is still a current big hit despite the weedy odor. Usually, the blog posts every February here in weirdjtt.blogspot.com had lots of Valentine flavors of mush, cheesiness, satire, bitterness, and some spoof. However, this slogan goes on- NBSB: Nice Being Single-Blessed.

       Our family’s treasured book “People Power: An Eyewitness History” which had the cost of only 190 pesos then at the National Bookstore branch at Baclaran (now moved somewhere). Google can never replace the grandeur of its pages of black-and-white pictures and testimonies of the people interviewed by the author; very nice learning material during Makabayan-HeKaSi classes. At its left is an original audio CD of the greatest hits of one of the greatest and legendary OPM band “Asin” whose haunting yet beautiful songs “Balita” and “Ang Bayan Kong Sinilangan (Cotabato)” became of great help to our lessons about the situation in war-ravaged areas of the country during the Marcos regime and the present times can still relate to these.

       Magpapasa na sana ako ng manuscript sa isang publishing company, yung Bookware Publishing, naipahiwatig ko pa ito sa isang tweet ko sa Twitter account nila... pero hindi ko na lang tinuloy. Kahit hindi ko pa nasusubukan ngunit nababatid ko na rin na hindi maaari ang aking akda sa kanilang product line at pati sa iba pa. Iba ang genre ng aking may kahabaang akda. Hindi pa ito romance talaga tulad ng karamihan sa mga naglipanang so-cheesy paperbacks na Taglish pa. Mahirap maghanap ng isang open-minded publisher na naglalayong tumulong at magbigay ng pagkakataon sa mga di-gaanong kilalang manunulat at magpalaganap ng panitikang Pilipino at hindi tinuturing ang industriya ng paglalathala at paglilimbag bilang mga negosyong pagkakakitaan lamang at kailangang mabawi ang pinuhunan dito; mahirap din ang market distribution lalo na kung may 'priorities' and 'chosen ones' ang mga bookstores. Ang aking Samizdat Publications ay isang failed experiment at inaamin ko yun. Ang pagpapalimbag ng isang akda ay hindi naman tulad ng xerox na mas kaunti ang kopya, mas mababa ang halagang babayaran. Bulk printing kasi sa mga printing shops at masakit sa bulsa. Flop ang sales ng “Dalawang Babaeng Umiibig” na bwena mano kong akda sa kabila ng story quality nito na hindi katulad ng mga naglipanang romance novellas diyan na nabasa niyo na.

      Marami nang nakikibasa sa mga blogs ko dito. Malakas ang pakiramdam ko na somehow and somewhat, ang Soliloquy Beyond ay tila “fountain of inspiration”, hehehe! May mga nakikigamit ng ilang uploaded photos dito nang wala man lang pasubali; kaya nga, sa mga pina-upload kong Wikipedia and Google images, sinisikap kong banggitin ang sources ng mga ito dahil hindi akin. Siguro, may ilang tao rin na nakakakuha pa ng ideas mula sa ilang sanaysay dito kahit na ang weird-weird ng blogger na ito. The cliché of “it’s better to give than to receive”; give na lang ako nang give ngunit wala naman akong na-take kahit pa sa mga pagkakataong ako naman ang humihingi ng tulong. Huwag mag-alala ang ibang anonymous readers diyan lalo na yung matagal nang mga nakikibasa at hindi naman ako nanunumbat. Hindi ko naman yun gagawin dahil ni minsan ay hindi niyo man lang ako kinausap.
