Changes

I cant believe it has been so very long since I posted here, and I missed it. The solitariness of the life of a writer, at times causes us to miss out on people contact and conversation. For me this blog is a conversation...albeit with myself, but it would be nice to read a voice far away that I could respond to.

I suppose Christmas got in the way of my blogging as it probably has for most people. You love it or you hate it, I have mixed feelings myself. But it was not only Christmas that sent me into silence, but also healthwise I have been having severe headaches and problems with one eye, that to look at a computer screen or write a lot was impossible. I am still suffering but I wanted to wish you all out there wherever you may be................

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR WITH LOTS OF LOVE,LUCK AND HAPPINESS!

Oh, I feel good having said that, so I am back with you

Trading Places

Here I am still sharing thoughts from my travels even though I am back home.

How changing the environment triggered my inspiration, it took a few days to clear but when it did, I renewed old ideas, and revised those that were tired.The air is fresh at the top of the peaks of europa, a little chilly but great to awaken a sleeping mind.

The silence, the view.......the vertigo!! No really a place for me to spend a few days and write, a few hours , ok, but days .....no way. I am more inspired by the sea and its whisperings.

My notebook had started to fill, and that I liked.

Another brick in the wall!

There are days when I could scream, and this is one of them...It couldn´t be done, the story that is,. No I did not throw it into some dark lonely corner in my desk, I read it again, and again, and...again!!! I still believe in it..but now it´s too late, so I save its precious feelings and put it in the file of many untold short stories. RIP until one day the sun may shine apon you again.

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??

I surrender

Well, I am ashamed to say I spent nearly all weekend eating drinking and talking with people who are here on vacation, that I know but not really. Don´t get me wrong I enjoyed the company but my mind kept sweeping off in search of a laptop sitting lonely waiting for me to gently touch it´s keys. AAhhh, did I hear you say? or probably ouch! It´s very difficult to smile sweetly and nod for so many hours, when your mind is on another plane. I just hope it didn´t show too much.
