Hello everyone! Farinas Series #1: Dulce Secretum will be returning in a bit :)
I wrote Dulce Secretum during a time when I was finding my voice. I was quite new to writing Taglish stories, especially Romance. So Farinas Series is a mixture of all the Wattpad stories I have read.
I remember removing my stories from Wattpad for a while in 2021 because I felt like I was too focused on pleasing my readers, hence, why I wrote Farinas Series in such rose-colored lenses. I focused too much on the romance instead of giving the focus on what I have always wanted; writing women's stories.
As I edit Farinas Series, I realized that translating them into English removed the essence of the story. I wanted you, the readers, to read it in Jaja's, Zia's, and Gen's voices. Hence, I decided to publish the raw version as it is with minor editing. I will edit from time to time instead :) There, you will see my 15-year-old self's words. It's not the best, but I promise it is sincere.
Thank you to the Wattpad writers who have influenced the style of writing Farinas Series had. But at the same time, thank you to my younger self for turning that influence into your own words.
Above all, thank you to all those who cared and waited. This is for all of you. Thank you for being patient and for allowing me to grow.
