Author's Notes
Hello, welcome to the very first ‘I-was-a-teenager-when-I-wrote this’ work I am republishing!
You probably don’t know, but my journey as a wanna be writer started in 2009. I used to do them handwritten, screen play style, then I moved over to theftalk (no longer existing), and then Wattpad + Wordpress. I used the pen name crimson3/gossipgirl03.
I got super busy once I started university and couldn’t keep up with my writing, so I unpublished all of my works. I still had my Wordpress account, but I had more readers here. However, last April 2024, I had an urge to revisit my website and got so happy when I viewed previous comments!
I attempted to re-write this one in Tagalog-English, as this work started in that language mix, but geez, it was so difficult! I’ve been writing in pure English for some time now, so I couldn’t do better in Tagalog (I’m sad about this, ngl). Yet, I also considered that Filipinos are bilingual anyway, so I can keep writing in straight English and perhaps have more reach. Most of my readers/followers here are from foreign lands. I’ve taken that into consideration. So, once again, I am going to do revisions!
I Think This is Love is my inaugural work (in terms of online content). I was only 13! So, this is where I will begin. If you’ve read this before, some plots and dialogues have changed because I have also changed. But the plot is the same.
Please like and leave comments/reviews. It’ll motivate me to keep reviving the old ones. And believe me, I have a lot to share with you!
Enjoy!
xx,
Tatiana
I read your story and it was really great

Hi tatiana,
I just finished reading your story I Think This Is Love and I absolutely loved it. Your writing is engaging and full of emotional depth, and I kept imagining how vibrant it would look as a comic.
I was particularly drawn to the scene where Gabriela first confronts Kevin Saldivar. The tension between them, with Gabriela's determination to ignore Kevin despite his charm, creates a dynamic that would translate well into expressive comic panels. The contrast between her internal conflict and his charismatic presence offers rich visual storytelling opportunities.
Another standout moment is Gabriela's interactions with Francis Saldivar. Their developing relationship, filled with subtle glances and unspoken words, would make for intimate and poignant comic scenes. The high school setting, with its familiar hallways and classrooms, provides a relatable backdrop that could be brought to life with detailed illustrations.
Your story's blend of romance, humor, and emotional growth has great potential for a visual adaptation. I’d love to bring these characters and moments to life in comic form.
I’m a commissioned artist, and I’d love to draw your story into a comic/manga. No pressure though, I just think your work would look amazing in comic form.
You can check out some of my recent work on my DeviantArt (Ev3Verse). If you’re interested, please message me on Discord (bennett_lol) so we can bring the story to life visually. I'll be waiting to hear from you!
Regards,
Bennett.
