asianfanficsthings:

Lately, I’ve been re-reading Bob Ong’s Stainless Longganisa.

He’s basically a Filipino author and I finally resorted to highlight the quotes I found helpful ^^

So now, I’ll translate it to you:

I don’t see anything bad in reading the pieces of advice of other people who know a bit more about the survival in this world. I’m not afraid to know their perspectives, because in the end, it’s my opinion that matters.

I think as a writer, this is important for us. Sometimes we go and get reviews from shops, or have our friends/relatives read the story we made. Do remember that they don’t have the final say, and what they told you is their subjective view on the matter. They only dropped their coin in your hat, so don’t be disheartened or depressed because you can’t please everyone.

That’s why we have different genres when it comes to movies, music and books.
