Trying To Start That Angel-Themed Story

 It's 11:22 in the evening and I'm only rewatching Kalyeserye at the moment instead of finally starting to write for WANI Publishing's next anthology. Yes, the very same publishing group that approved my short story for the second book of their Valentine Diaries anthology. Sorry for those reading this who couldn't understand Filipino, but I wrote that one-shot in Taglish (mix of Tagalog and English).

So now, the new theme for WANI's next anthology will be about angels (fallen, warrior, half, archangels, and others).

I was made aware of the theme ahead of the formal announcement from WANI's FB group. I had an initial plan for that using my previous unfinished fantasy series. And when the formal announcement appeared, I ended up thinking that it would be a little hard for me to initiate my initial writing plan for the angel-themed stories for me to submit for WANI.

But to be honest, I'm not really sure if I could pull it off since I haven't written any stories like that at all. Believe me. I think I could pull off writing fairies or humans with superpowers.

But not about angels, even if I have to deviate immensely from the theological aspect of it just for me to start writing it. Especially when it comes to the angel's backstory. And it's probably for that reason why I decided to place Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments series and Lauren Kate's Fallen series on my next-to-read stories.

Of course, I have to finish reading Garth Nix's The Keys To The Kingdom series and possibly even James Dashner's The 13th Reality series since I already started reading the first book of each series.

Anyway, I might be able to update you about it.

Lastly, even though I said that I have doubts in starting to write that angel-themed short story, I still came up with visual inspirations for the pair to be featured in it. Yup, rewatching Kalyeserye made me decide to make Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza as visual inspirations for the pair in the story.

In fact, because of that, I even created a photo edit of those two using PicsArt (using that app for the first time) that has a relation to the story ㅡ at least a clear indication on Maine's character.

Here it is:

So what do you think?
