Frustrated writer no more
I once met a writer from a magazine during a product launch in my previous employment. Chatting with her, I said I am frustrated writer. I wished to write when I was younger.
She replied, “There’s no such thing as a frustrated writer,” and she added, “perhaps, the only frustrated writer is one who has a pen without an ink.” I remembered her words (though I don’t remember her name nor her face). Maybe that’s true… there’s no such thing as a frustrated writer.
Thanks to blogging, I found a medium to vent out that so-called frustrations.
But try as I might, there is still a difference between blogging and prints, so somehow, the ‘frustrations’ lingered… until…
Finally, The Inspirational Book came out of the printing press, and is now available for release.
Now, I can really say that I am no longer a frustrated writer!
Because this book, which contains 27 inspirational stories from bloggers all over, has three of my own personal stories.
My three personal, real-life stories, share with the readers different experiences in my life – my daughter’s contest, my Eat Bulaga experience, and the day I fullfilled a promise to my wife.
My stories, and 24 more beautiful and inspiring stories, complete the line-up in this Inspirational Book project.
And I would like to request my readers, my friends, and everyone who happens to pass by this post – if you’re looking for an inspirational book, or perhaps a gift idea this coming Christmas, visit my friend’s blog to know how you can order your copy of the book.
If you are here in Angeles City, and wants to have a copy of the book, leave your comment here and I will personally deliver your copy.
This book is the fulfillment of my dream.
Thank you very much.

What a great way to promote this book. There’s not a false note in your post which isn’t a surprise because it’s your long-held dream you’re talking here.
Methinks, FTC will have to watch you if you keep this up. Very convincing. I think you can sell Luneta Park with your writing ability in five hundred words or less. Ahehehe.
You write well pala pag madaling araw, Roy. “,)
Congrats, Author Roy de la Cruz!
