Interview with Felicia Day

Posted on by

Check out my interview with the beautiful Felicia Day on CGMonthly.com. Felicia is the ingenious creator, director and actress of the hit web series, the Guild. Now on it’s fourth season, the Guild is being released online, in stores on DVD, and via Xbox Marketplace and Microsoft distribution platforms. The Guild is so wildly popular that it has even been turned into a graphic novel series by Dark Horse.

Despite the fact that this interview can be found online on C&G’s newly revamped website, be sure to check it out in the actual magazine too. The mag comes packed with a bunch of awesome content that can’t be found on the site, including some gorgeous full-page pics of the beautiful Ms. Day.

And speaking of the physical publication, be sure to check out C&G Monthly, SideStreet Review and Lucid Media Magazine on the endcaps of Chapters and Indigo stores. The promo for these mags lasts until July 24th, so be sure to check it out.

                                               

NerdGirlPinups.com

Posted on by

This post is a tad bit overdue, but I recently started writing for NerdGirlPinups.com – an awesome site for girls who are nerds and proud of it. Currently you can find my profile posted online (along with a very pixelated, poor quality photo of me) and my first introductory post reviewing Gloom. If you haven’t guessed, my topic of expertise on the site involves books and traditional gaming. Once the site is up and running off of beta, I’ll be posting reviews on both subjects regularly as a continuation of my current work on MiaHerrera.com. Hope you enjoy! And don’t forget, if you’d like me to review a particular game or book, send me a comment or a message and I’ll check it out for you.

In other news: Books and Games and Freelance Writing

Posted on by

It is with great pleasure that I’d like to share the news that I recently landed a freelancing gig with SideStreet Review  and C&G Monthly. Find me online or on newsstands within the next few months, writing game and book reviews/articles. I’ll update more in regards to my assignments as they are published. Now, all I have to do is land about 15 more gigs like this one, and maybe I can become a full-time work-from-home writer!

                                                                     

“Mahal Kita” on Toronto In Colour

Posted on by

My short story, “Mahal Kita”, is featured on Toronto In Colour. Become a TorontoInColour.ca member and check it out here. : )

I must say, it’s a little nerve-wracking to have the thing online for anyone to read. When it was initially published in the Hart House Review, I felt it had a limited readership since it was in print and therefore somewhat inaccessible to all my friends and relatives. I much prefer the image that accompanies the story on TIC.ca, however. The photo features a beautiful sunset, which is part of the initial setting of my story. When the story was published in HHR, it was featured beside an image of a poor Asian child, which I felt completely misconstrued the story’s Philippine setting!

Find me on Live in Limbo

Posted on by

I’m pleased to announce that I will soon be starting a weekly “column” of sorts on LiveInLimbo.com – a new “synergetic effort of many multi-talented and multi-disciplinary young folks from various parts of Ontario”. The site has recently debuted online, through the efforts of my high school classmate and awesome web master, Sean Chin. My articles will be appearing online on a bi-weekly basis and will involve a mix of book and literary events reviews. Another exciting outcropping of this decision has been the possibility of upcoming author interviews for publication online. That means more opportunities of me talking one-on-one with published writers (my occupation of desire and choice)!

Hart House Review Launch, etc.

Posted on by

I am attending the Hart House Review Launch this Tuesday, April 14 at 7:30pm in the Hart House Debates Room and I’m not too sure what to expect, though I know there will be hors d’oeuvres and drinks. I suppose that means mingling is involved (unfortunately for me, as I am chronically anti-social). There will also be readings from Priscila Uppal and Ronna Bloom, with showcased pieces by Davida Nemeroff. I will also get my hands on this year’s issue of the Review with my short story, “Mahal Kita”.

I am still extremely grateful and excited about my acceptance into the Review. At the same time, I’m eager to start trying my hand at publications and contests outside the UofT community. I am currently working on a short story to be finished by early May tentatively titled “Lights Out”. It will focus more on Canadian culture – specifically cosmopolitan Toronto culture – although it will still cursorily refer to Philippine culture as a reference point as well. It is the first time I’m trying to seriously write something for publication in a while and I’m a bit nervous about it.

My screenplay is still in the works as well, and has actually regressed to the beat-sheet stage. There were a lot of issues I had to work out at the plot level, and I’ve come up with a completely different story from the one I first started with. I’m very happy with the changes and progress that has been made, as it’s starting to move at a movie-like pace as opposed to the novelistic turtle-walk it was moving at before.

Anyways, more later. Adios.
