I’d like to make a couple of suggestions for stories on the second book:
Abortion: I’d really like to hear from a Filipina who has had an abortion. You could talk about the mistakes that led up to the “procedure,” the pain, the guilt, etc. You could help others avoid this mistake. I already have one story from a young woman who used the “abortion pill”–but I’m especially interested in hearing from someone who went through the actual “procedure.”
Pornography: I’d like to hear from a Filipino (or Filipina) who has struggled with porn use/addiction. Talk about how you were introduced to it, the progression of the addiction, and how it negatively influenced your life.
If you have a friend that has been through this, maybe you could refer him/her to my website.
A 3-4 page story would be great (just don’t make it much longer than that). Remember: all contributions are anonymous. Click here for more information on contributing to my second book.
I think I’m somewhere between 5-10 stories away from having the manuscript ready. Please send your story soon!
