“I don’t really like it at first. My real interest at first was reading,” Venus Angelika B. Selda said. A 23-year-old girl born at San Juan, Metro Manila. She loves reading books, writing, collecting books and watching anime. Going back to her writing journey, she was not really interested but after reading so many stories, inspiration hit her. So right at this point, we can see how powerful influence is. The capacity to have an effect on one person, development, or behaviour of someone or something, of the effect itself. But we need to remember that influential people don’t merely change other’s behaviour; they shift other's mindset.
Imagination is the ability of the mind to be creative. And because Venus has a very creative imagination, some information on her stories is based on her imagination. And also, scenes that are inspired from other stories and research helps her to write more. So, as we can see, writing is not just a hobby. It can give you benefits. It does not only serve as a hobby, but it can also teach you some lessons that you can use in your life. Researching helps Venus to be sure at some terms, names and languages. Some of her works can be read at Wattpad. And if she’s given a chance to publish her first ever book, she will publish her “Where It All Started”. A story of one kind of a friendship that started in an ordinary place. A place where they promise that nothing and no can reap them apart. The story of two young ladies as they face every struggle in their precious bond together as best friends. Sounds interesting, right? One of her works that means "to never hesitate to give a hand at all times, be helpful and trustworthy" And that is the story she submitted in our lovely contest; it is entitled “Her Magical List”. |

“Well done is better than well said,” Venus said. She believes that nothing will happen if all the things you want to achieve or to be done comes out from just saying it. Do it all with hard work and burning passion. Which is true, Why? Because you need to be brave and take risks. Taking a risk to achieve a goal requires courage to face the fear of uncertainty. No matter the outcome, either way, we grow through the process and become more resilient and confident.

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.
