Girl Trouble 1.1

Hi, everyone. Welcome to Girl Trouble 1.1. This is your first step into a mighty mess I made a few years back that eventually lead to making more books and some other literary-related projects that I never thought I’d be doing.

For those of you who already have their physical copies, thank you for the support, and welcome back. This online release has a lot of visual adjustments from the original printed version. I had the opportunity to play with a couple of pages so I thought I’d change a few things without deviating from the spirit of the material. But hey, I’ve kept in the glorious grammatical errors that have stung many readers’ nerves so everyone gets a piece of that as well.

So, why am I doing this again? When I first pitched the idea to Visprint, I was never really sure if we would find an audience for the stuff I do. But we did. And for that I am very thankful.

And seeing that there is a bunch of you insomniacs, daydreamers, wildlings, night-stalkers, word-bleeders, pen-mongers, blog-crushers, and love-hunters out there, I thought it would be best to release the book online, especially for those who have read my other stuff and have been looking for this book everywhere. Maybe eventually we could release Girl Trouble on paperback again, but for now, this will have to do. This is a limited release, by the way. So it might be taken down after a certain amount of time.

Without Girl Trouble, there would be no “Dumot” and no “Ang Panlimang Alas Ay Nakabaon Sa Iyong Dibdib”. And while the world and myself still hasn’t figured out what it is exactly I do, I’ll keep making stuff for you and me anyway, because in life, it’s okay to be different. And it matters that a lot of people have stuck around with whatever it is that I’ve done.

Oh, yeah. There’s going to be a sequel. I’ve been talking about that for a long time now, but there definitely is. So, you best get through this first and if you like what you see, there’s more to come.

See you around, stranger.

And they all died in the middle of the prophecied firefight between the dark seraphim and the agents of Judas, happily ever after. Or so we think. So. What did you think about Robin? Do you think he smells good? How about Steve, Bhert, and Leo? Are you or any of your friends married to them? That would suck. Because they don’t exist. Or do they? And where is all of this going, anyway? More importantly, are you Robin? Or are you Tiray? Or Cate? Or do you know people like them? In your remedial class? In your table tennis team? In your backyard, chained to the brown fence, being fed brown meat once a day, and suffering from alopecia? In your head? We’ll never know.

BUT. The sequel to this book will be ready soon, so just follow any of these links and you won’t miss it when it comes out: facebook.com/arnavarra.ph twitter.com/arnavarra ask.fm/arnavarra
