Hello everyone!
This is the first time I'll post here.
Thank you to @galenkp for the opportunity given to us to be creative.

Weekends must be well spent after five days of working, whether blue or white-collar jobs. Easier said than done, right? However, it doesn't work for me because weekends are the only days I have to write: continue my ongoing novels and come up with new ideas.
Unfortunately, yesterday, Sunday, I found myself staring at a blank word document on my computer screen... for hours, without typing a single word.
Writer's block? I don't think so.
Was I procrastinating? Maybe.
But the truth is I was reminiscing, asking myself, "Do I regret a single thing?"
Therefore, this is my response to one of the prompts for this weekend: "The one thing I will never regret in my life is..."
And that one thing I will never ever regret is NOT GIVING UP ON MY DREAM OF BECOMING A WRITER.

When my mother died almost 11 years ago, I wrote her a letter, promising that I will never stop writing until I fulfilled my dream-- to be a writer. It doesn't matter if I don't become famous as long as I could publish a book.
I have fulfilled her dream for me to become a teacher, so when I passed the licensure examination for teachers, I kept writing.

(1ST ANTHOLOGY I CO-AUTHORED)
During the nuisance of the pandemic, while many people got depressed about the mishap, I diverted my attention to writing short stories to vent out.
I tried sending out some of the poems I wrote ages ago on flavescent pieces of paper, but I got rejected. However, it didn't stop me from trying again. I sent one of my short stories, and it found its place in this first anthology.
(2ND ANTHOLOGY I CO-AUTHORED)
When the first anthology came out, I couldn't believe it. Seeing my pen name on a book cover made me speechless. I couldn't find the words to express my bliss.
At first I thought of the song lyrics, "Just Got Lucky," so I submitted another short story. It landed on this second anthology. I sent another one, which was considered to be part of another compilation.

I think that's it!
I finally shared with you what I did on a Sunday.
