Kathleen Moleño, an aspiring writer who says her life is boring; lacks confidence and also a girl who suffers insecurities. But an event made her live up to her message to people who’s just like her in life, “taking risks” and giving herself a chance to let some people get a peak of her soul in writing.
“I’m telling you; my life is boring.” Kathleen said. Reading, listening to music and sleeping are her hobbies; so are the things that make her alive. These hobbies of hers-- reading and listening to music-- make her feel confident to go on to her day-by-day issues and divert her attention from overthinking. And of course, sleeping. She said, “…sleeping is my ‘best friend’. It gives me peace of mind—it allows me to escape from problems that seem to not alter.” Aside from those, Kathleen loves writing. She claims that it is a good way to express her thoughts and imaginations. The only problem is that her confidence won’t let her be herself and express her crafts to the public. But one event, an event that she only joined for experience made a significant progress in her life. |

The VC Encounter One-shot Writing Contest, a competition organized by the Ventre Canard Avenue admins that took place on the page on November 12, 2020 and ended on November 28, 2020. It was an event that Kathleen joined for experience and an event that finally, for the first time she showed her literary piece to a larger group of people and not only to her closest friend. It was an entry that conveys or expresses what the extreme power of words coming from our mouth can do. It was such an experience for her mainly because she is one of the three winners. With a rating of 97.75, Kathleen leads along with two other exceptional aspiring writers.
“I was beyond shocked when I saw that my name was mentioned as one of the winners. It took me minutes before digesting the news,” she said. The said event seemed to be an instrument that gave her a sense of accomplishment before the end of the year. She added, “It gave me an inspiration to pursue writing despite the doubts.” She really is determined to step up her game in writing. But when she was asked of when does she think will be the time where she could confidently present her literary pieces to everyone, this is what she said, “I honestly don’t know, but I am 101% sure that it will take a long time, especially that my confidence level is my greatest enemy as of the moment.”
With that response of her, the thought relates to Ventre Canard, the faceless author. The two are different but they still have a part of them that they aren’t ready yet to show to everyone and that’s okay. So, when she was asked about how she feels about this ‘faceless author’ we all adore and this is what she said, “Girl, this author is beyond amazing! She’s just unique and lovable. I look up to her very much…” She further added that Ventre Canard is the only author who pushed her to try writing despite her struggles. Kathleen said her words are very impactful and also, she is the reason why she met new friends (Noah’s Ark).
Kathleen Moleño’s journey as an aspiring writer does not end there as she is still trying to overcome her fears and as what she has said that her “low confidence level” is her greatest enemy.
“We may think we can’t do this, that, and whatnot, but taking a risk of doing it is much better than doing nothing at all,” Kathleen said. “So, go on, be free and discover the world beyond the box you are hiding in.”

Ventre Canard is derived from French words with an English translation of 'belly duck'. Her duck-shaped birthmark on her belly inspired her to use this username. She got her birthmark because she was born a few steps away from the sea with number of ducks. That's why she had grown attached to the sea and it's one of the reasons why she used ships as a symbolism of her whole Wattpad family named VCA short for VentreCanard's Angels.
