Getting Inspired To Write
I found this interesting quip from Spanish writer Ruben Abella about who to write for. He said, "I don't think about them (the readers). I have to write for an audience of one: me. Fortunately, if my obsessions match with other people's, then good. But I can't think about who is reading or not reading."
Well, that's exactly how I feel when I write. I have to please myself first. Whoever reads it is just secondary.
Well, the article I read also delved into what language to write in since most Filipinos can actually write in Filipino or English. However, like most educated Filipinos, I would prefer to write in English since I feel I could express myself better in that language, foreign as it may be to me, being a Filipino.
