I have to admit, I’m writing this post in advance whilst thinking “What would my readers want to hear about?”; so I guess I’ll just start writing some of the things I’ve been planning and working so far, some projects that have remained in stand-by and, like always, I might start writing non-sensical things that you guys might be able to figure out in a future post/story.
First things first, I should apologize to the people who were expecting a post last Friday but didn’t get one, and I don’t think I have to apologize for it. Last week was full of excitement since I got news that made me very happy and a couple of days later I got struck by an allergy that I hadn’t felt before, so I lacked energy (and sleep, also caused because of my allergic incident) to write and my ideas regarding last week’s post dissipated like a dust cloud.
If you are reading this post first, then you’ll be able to notice that there’s another post published almost at the same time as this one! That one was supposed to be published last weekend, but I didn’t start it until later (in fact, as I’m writing this I still haven’t designed the post that will accompany the posts).
Now! Not all are bad news, the night I was insomniac I started and finished writing what I believe has become one of the “darkest” stories I’ve written so far. It’s not because of the themes mentioned, but…without any spoilers…I do believe it will affect a couple of the readers since it mentions sensitive subjects; don’t worry, I’m planning on adding a trigger warning in the beginning. The story I wanted to tell originally will be re-written and reused in another tale, since I think that the title A place to hide will no longer be aplicable.
Anyway! The only thing I’m pending from that story is a review of it and then I’ll be publishing it.
Well, I do have an update on El Anuario.
The story is taking me a bit longer than I expected, but that’s a good thing! I don’t want to rush this tale, nor the development of it.
I want to release an edition that I’m happy with, stories that touch people differently and characters that you’ll want to root for, but that they’ll make you suffer as well.
Quick thing…the following paragraphs will be in Spanish, you can translate them if you want, but I don’t know how much they’ll resemble the original text.
La historia que quiero contar en El Anuario es sobre la conexión que podemos o no tener con múltiples personas, como las decisiones de uno afectan a otro, como una persona puede estar celebrando un logro personal y causarle sufrimiento o dolor a alguien mas sin haberse dado cuenta. Realmente no se estarán notando hasta que la historia en general haya sido escrita y leída por ustedes, pero los personajes, las ideas y los eventos ya los tengo preparados mentalmente.
La vida se trata de disfrutarla y dentro de todo eso se encuentra el dolor, la alegría, la tristeza, la felicidad, enojo, etc…, es una mezcla de sentimientos que uno nunca sabe como describir, pero al final del día nos guía a un punto que no esperábamos, a una senda que siempre se desarrolla y en la cual las personas que nos rodean pueden acompañarnos, pero todo depende de ellos si quieren unirse a nuestra ruta o no.
Now! Back to English!
I always wanted to do that, mix Spanish and English in a text, it might not be the last time I do this, but we’ll see what the future holds.
I already have a couple of posts planned out for the next couple of weeks, some might be literature related, and others may just be post like this one! Where you come and read the first things that popped into my mind.
Do forgive my lack of updates regarding “El Anuario”, but I’ve been reading crazily The Eyes of the Dragon (by Stephen King) and I’ve been trying to see a couple of movies that I’ve been pushing more and more until I had some “spare time”; which I currently have!
Like all things in life, it’s only a matter of time until I can show you some of my stories finished and edited. I used to think I wasn’t a perfectionist, but I’ve come to realize in the last few months that that’s not true. My posts, stories, even my Canva designs are checked because I don’t want them to feel rushed, or as if I didn’t care about any of them anymore.
