Officially starting again, but soon, like in a couple of weeks, maybe, IDK

I’m feeling it, it’s getting closer, it’s just a matter of time until… I finally get my shit together and sit down to start writing a new novel. Ideas? I have tons of them without even checking my past notes. Mindset? Well, there you got me. I have to start forcing myself to create more…

The age of light

“Bring in the next one.” Everyone in the arena turned their heads towards the double sided doors opening, creating a high, groaning noise that silenced every sound inside. A man wearing only a dirty damaged robe appeared being brought in shackles by three armored guards. His chest was exposed. He had over the shoulder messy…

For the love of (insert your favorite writer), ALWAYS WRITE DOWN YOUR IDEAS!

Today I was trying to nap (around 9am) at least 20-40 minutes, recharge my batteries before going about the rest of my work-filled day. So, I was in this space between falling asleep and being awake, that you’re kinda sleeping but at the same time have full awareness you’re not fully sleeping. I don’t know…

You have 3 wishes; what do you want?

So, you stumbled upon a genie’s lamp, dragon’s lair, magic totem, ancient goldfish, benevolent demigod, whatever wish granter creature in you head, and now you get 3 wishes —tale as old as time (or at least middle eastern folklore)—.

The sound of silence (pt.2)

*for part 1, click here* [Lunch time at a diner]. ‘“Hey, are you still here?” Starts snapping his fingers in front of his face. — Oh, yeah. (Immediately refocuses back on his meal and lunch partner.) Sorry. “You were spacing out, man. Again… Everything alright? Lately, you’ve been kind of ‘out there’.” — I’m fine,…

The self imposed hubris of a young wannabe-writer

Reminisced (wow, that’s a word I never use) today after seeing a comic meme that was aimed at my past self. It went something like: Person 1 standing in the frame of a room door: “You think you’re so smart because you read so many articles online. Look at how you look right now.” Person 2…

December 27

December 27 has been yet again one of the worst days of my life for a 5th consecutive year. Can’t escape it, it’s imminent. My destiny is to keep suffering on this godforsaken day. The same thing happens every single year. I have a great Christmas weekend with enjoying booze, food, friends and presents. Eating…

Number 10

This one is going UP —to the main menu, I mean—. Well, it’s been 10 days and 10 posts since this whole ‘project’ started. One per day, just as promised, and keeping strong. First and foremost, I want to thank all the people that read my words and interact with the page on a daily…

Winter is not coming, winter is here

First day of Winter, whoop dee doo! Today is Tuesday, December 21, marking the winter solstice. When Earth’s Northern Hemisphere is tilted farthest from the Sun as possible. It’s known as the shortest day of the year, or the longest night of the year (reads like a glass half full scenario, but ok). Some cultures…
