in search of lost time

Well folks, the idea of ​​the blog here, as everyone knows, is to show the day-to-day life of a writer, and you'll see that not everything is rosy.

In our last chat, I said that now I could start writing the story again, which had been interrupted until this reality show project began. But I haven't written again until today. All because I set my traps myself, then I'm in a tight spot to get out.

Explaining: I invented a fashion for writing directly on Orkut. Yeah, I'm probably the only writer who writes live. I don't make an outline, I don't even run it through a spell checker. It's funny how these mechanisms work in our heads. If you sit down to write in Word, or even on a sheet of paper, it doesn't work. I need the Orkut window, the character limiter, all these "difficulties."

In the first book, more than justified. It wasn't a book, it was Orkut. But when the second one came, I did exactly the same. I started a short story, "Um Nerd e Dois Bombados", the thing was paying off and I realized it could be published. In fact, this perception came at the very beginning, which meant that it was already written with a book-like aesthetic and rhythm, different from the first, which really needed adaptations to edit. In the second, elections were even held to choose the title and then define the cover. It ended up becoming a KING SIZE BED, with this cover here, which illustrates the post.

Well, to make it a little more difficult, this time I created a new rule, which prevented me from continuing these days. But I'll talk about her later. Today I reread everything that has already been posted trying to rekindle the flame. Look, I'll confess, without false modesty, that I liked it. I think I was right, this new story will really lead to a new book, written here, together with you.

In our merchandise moment, I recommend the KING SIZE BED. This, in addition to the printed book version, also has an e-book, in PDF, which costs less than half the price. Where? In the bookstore that doesn't charge shipping, www.comprelivrosgls.com.br.
