Author bio:
I mostly write for fun and for the enjoyment it brings. And when it is published what thrill it does give to the one who wrote it. I am a 26 year-old amateur writer from Manila, Philippines and I write because it is fun and really stress-relieving. I have always wanted to write since I was younger, it always gave me pleasure to be able to compose anything to my liking. I always write about life, suicide, love, and friendships, but somewhat they change as time flies by. I like you to enjoy what I've written and if you wanna contact me you can do so @ katdfernandez (at) yahoo (dot) com. Thank you and GOD BLESS. :) Sometimes, when time permits, I can write as much as I want to, and it does not show that I am tired or much so. It always makes me happy when I write about life in general, and what life it brings me as a person when it does become accomplished. It becomes much like a flower blooming forth, not knowing what kind of fragrance or youthful vibrancy it springs forth.
