What I get out of writing: fulfillment and money.
Yeah, who said there's no money in writing? I must be lucky because I got a 25-thousand-peso contract on book writing. For something unexpected, this is really good news :-) Just what I've always wanted: enjoying writing and earning at the same time. The truth is that I never expected to get such amount from writing the first parts of the book. At first, I was asked by the editor to write a 48-page Grammar book but when I submitted the whole thing, she immediately liked it because, well, it's well-researched, appropriately contextualized on Phil. setting and even the layout is already done upon submission. Anyway, from 48 pages, the proposal became 112 pages. It was fine with me because it's not really a very difficult task. I have the materials and it's easy to search the net for materials. Besides, I have been teaching English 1 and ESL for years now so it would be easy for me to write a book on Grammar. All I need to do is to devote time and effort to complete the book because it's a tedious job.
This is not my first time to get a cheque from book writing. The first academic book, which I did with Sir Umaly, is on its way to getting released. Yey!
