BOOK REVIEW |
|
Teen undead romance |
|
Stephenie Meyer’s ‘Twilight’ promises to
beguile young readers
|
|
This isn’t your typical romance novel for
young adults. Think vampires, werewolves and teleportation. Twilight
is the current teen fiction phenomenon. Debut novelist Stephenie
Meyer proved skeptics wrong when, just a couple of weeks after its
release, her book sold out worldwide. A fan attests on the book’s
website, “Twilight is an extraordinary love story that will stay
with you long after you have turned the last page.”

THE
SCRIBE VIBE
By Libay Linsangan Cantor
|
|
There’s no such
thing as writer’s block
|
|
People generally think that when writers write, there is a special
time, place and circumstance for them to produce great written
works. The absence of such induces a dangerous disease called the
“writer’s block” wherein a scribe can’t write, as there is
no proper “inspiration” to get the creative juices going.
