Pakopya (Published Under Viva Psicom)

Author's Note

Thank you for reading Pakopya.

This is my first ever novel, so it really means a lot to me. This story has a lot of flaws, but I'm grateful because I have people like you who exerted their time and effort for my little piece.

To my old readers, you know the struggles I've encountered before noong hindi ko pa naipo-post ang buong ending ng Pakopya due to copyright confusions and all. May mga nagalit dahil sa hindi ko pagpopost ng ending agad, but I understand. I know the frustration kapag putol yung binabasa mo, kaya tanggap ko lahat ng nasabi niyo, even the hurtful ones.

Nang ma-publish as a real book ang Pakopya, nag-alangan talaga akong i-post ang buong story sa Wattpad kasi usually ng napupublish na mga libro ay dine-delete na for copyrights. Ayoko namang magpakulong. But then, hindi naman ako sinisita so I decided to make a pledge for my readers.

June 14, 2015, Sunday. I pledge not to delete any part/s of any of my published stories unless reprimanded by my publisher due to online copyright infringement.

Hindi ako gahaman sa pera para pilitin na bilhin niyo ang libro ko. Marami mang nagsasabing yan ang dahilan ko para hindi i-post ang ending ng Pakopya (this was before noong di ko pa napopost), but that's not true. Hindi ko kayo pinipilit na bilhin ang libro ko. It's your choice. Para sa akin, ang published version ng book ko ay isa lamang souvenir ng mga ideyang pinagsama-sama ko para makabuo ng isang kwento. I consider it as a token of appreciation. Ang pagsusulat naman para sa akin ay isang stress-reliever lamang at ang pagiging published author ko ay parang part-time job lang. I have lots of other ways to earn money aside from writing. Mas mahalaga pa rin sa akin ang readers ko, because no money can ever buy the way you look up to me.

Again, thank you for reading Pakopya. Salamat salamat salamat.

Love you guys. To the infinity and beyond.
