hello, i'm asher, but you may call me ash or valentine (or v4lent1ne, whatever works). i'm a filipino college student currently taking their bachelor's in english language studies and an aspiring writer and musician.
i've been writing for as long as i can remember. i used to be feature writer up until 10th grade. mainly, i write poetry, essays, and fiction, so far only short stories but hopefully soon i'll muster enough creative energy to write a novel.
bass playing, however, is a newfound love of mine. i picked up bass playing at 14 and i've been in love ever since. i play bass in a college band and hopefully when i learn the guitar well enough, i'd be able to combine both passions and get to writing songs.
