A Taste of Things to Come

Woah! It has been a long time since I last posted something in SoUSS. Sorry about that, folks. Between work, graduate school and swimming (or at least trying to given my schedule), I haven't had the time to write some new material.

Pretty soon, I'll be up and running again; writing new stuff about swimming.

Anyway, I have been writing this swimming novel called "The Swimming Diaries: The Comeback" these past few months. While I still have a long way to go to finish it let alone have it published (hopefully), I'd like to give you guys a taste of things to come.

The story is about Jim Salva, a sophomore Management student in the Ateneo Loyola Schools. After quitting the varsity swim team during his freshman year, he decides to mount a comeback to competitive swimming with the hopes of helping the Ateneo Blue Tankers win their first UAAP swimming championship. As he struggles to regain peak competitive form, Jim must find a way to either set aside or confront the issues which led to his quitting the team the year before.
