The girl with Kalidoscope Eyes

Yep, thats me, that how I feel, watching, waiting....hoping, secretly knowing. Afraid someone will lift my words and ideas. God you could drive yourself crazy, haven´t heard anything...yet. But I knew it would be like this. I remember years back had a go at writing romantic novels, you know the kind, innocent sweet maiden, one handsome hunk that fights to win her heart. these 2 novels sit on my shelf, collecting dust. NO; my novel I just completed was not a romantic girl meets hunk. It was more along the spiritual lines. I am quite far into a new one now, although its still very much in the planning chapters and characters, but chapter one is almost ready to go. My headaches have become severe once more, holding me back. Still back to the Neuro and see what is going on. I often wonder about all you nice people out there,reading my one way conversation!!hello to you all

My heart sunk....

My heart sunk as I read it again, amended again and translated again, only to find there is no way this story will be in Spanish and still have the same feel and sentiment. Both I and the story have lost the plot. Ah so be it, let it rest awhile in some darkened corner on my desk

English-Spanish- No comprendo

It´s done! complete! finished. well not completly. As I said my written spanish leaves a lot to be desired, and so its away with a friend for checking. I did not use the notes for a story that I had because I could not shorten it without losing the feel, so it will wait but I wrote another, the notes for which I had written in 20minutes, an idea that just came into my head. However I wrote it first in English, and on translating it to spanish it has lost something. Maybe I should give up writing in spanish??

Disciplines

One of my disciplines is to annually enter a short story competition, do I hear you say easy??

Yes I like to enter because sometimes I enjoy writing shorter texts, but still find it hard to say all I want in the realms of six pages. So it is a discipline of meeting a deadline, keeping to the number of pages......and here´s where it gets difficult. Write it in Castillano (Spanish) and although I can speak the language, writing it is not so easy.

Typically I always leave it until the last weeks before settling down and writing, firstly in English then into Spanish, but some how it loses the flow, it does not come across the same. Maybe I should write it first in Spanish...difficult and impossible. So here we are two weeks to go, and I have started, Last year I entered a rather strange love story, but this year it going to be a spiritual story, the notes are already waiting. Time to go
