Wattpad Works: Grand Finale of Seven Minutes In Heaven

On September 6, 2016, I began publishing Seven Minutes in Heaven on my Wattpad account. This story is a spin-off from The Set-Up Wedding which narrates the love story of Jude Castillo's younger brother, Efren and his college sweetheart, Matilda.

I started off by launching a little Seven Minutes In Heaven Teaser Video .

After all the cute lovey-dovey but wild scenes during their college days, to the intense passionate adulthood and return of the long lost and gone, Matti, the story is finally coming to its end this Saturday night.

I would like to thank God, first and always, because even if I am currently in a sort-of a problematic career situation, He made this situation a way for me to write a new story that will put tears in people's eyes, make them want to strangle a guy (Efren), gasp in the intense passionate scene, and make them fall in love. (I am not sure though if these are the effects of #7MinutesInHeaven to my readers, but I am hoping, as always!)

And of course, I am thankful to my family, because they have always been supportive with my writing adventures (ever since I was a kid), and I feel sorry sometimes because they experience my crankiness at times when my flow in writing is disturbed... (I am really sorry, it's just part of the process *sobs*).

I am also thankful to have the love of my life who is also supportive with my writing ventures. He is the one who taught me to look at writing in different angles (that it is not just an art but something more), and I know I still have a lot to learn. If I dedicate The Set-Up Wedding to my parents and grandparents, I dedicate Seven Minutes in Heaven to him.

I will miss writing Efren and Matilda's love story. At first, it was hard for me to start the story, I always feel like something was missing... or Effy and Matti lacked something to make me write more about them. But like what the couple wanted to teach everyone, I learned to sacrifice some things in order for my relationship with Efren and Matilda to work. And it did, I finally got to know who Efren and Matilda are, and how to tell my readers who Efren and Matti are. (Why not? Efren's apparition always bugged me at night! Lol. Just trying to be funny.)

So, tonight is going to be the grand finale. You might ask, what should you expect from the ending of their love story? There will be a never-ending Author's Note and a list of songs that made it to my playlist when I wrote the novel. There will be abs and reconciliations and some partying and surprises and confettis. It will be fun, it will be nostalgic, it will make you feel like, I should have written more chapters because that's how I sincerely felt when I finished the story last night, that's why I had a lot of editing done with it... because I feel like I should write more...

What happens next after Efren and Matilda's heavenly story? I am planning to write about another Castillo (guess who?) but I want to prioritize some suspense-detective-teen fiction for a change because I have been writing so much romance these past 15 years (Yes, fifteen years!)

But I always tend to change my mind, so let's see!

And don't worry, the story will stay available and free to be read on Wattpad, unless my publisher gives me an assurance or approval that they will publish #7MinutesInHeaven. I will announce that, if ever.
