Writing
I used to make a joke that my parents gave so much creativity to my older sister, who turned out to become a writer, that I got just a enough to allow me to be a translator and write well, but without actually creating the stories.
In this blog I’m trying to change this and make my creativity grow.

They were playing hide and seek. There was one spooky house no one ever dared to go. He wasn’t afraid. The only thing was a sign about attacking chicken. Pfff… Chicken? Seriously? He got in and a gigantic shadow formed around him. Shaped like chicken. He was the size of a worm… This post was Read more

They were working on a new project. Her job was to create the schedule and plan for it. She was struggling with the project management tools, and that was impacting the start date. The team got anxious, afraid her struggles would delay the project so much that the deadline wouldn’t be met. When she finally Read more

When he was little, he decided he would live 100 years. He had a happy, healthy, fulfilling life. The day before his 100th birthday he lay in bed peacefully thinking: “One more day and I’ll be able to rest.” The next day, after blowing up the candles, he closed his eyes and died. Read more

They are newly wed and snuggle every night to sleep. Time goes by and they realize it’s more comfortable not to snuggle. The distance between them in bed grows in the same proportion as the problems of the daily life increase. Soon, the bed will become too small for both of them. This post Read more

We were doing a paint project outside when daddy came to pick the kids up for the weekend. He looked uptight, she was all dressy. I was covered in paint, tangled hair. She had a frown and seemed uncomfortable on her stilettos early in the morning. I had a big smiling face. This post Read more

They were best friends ever since they can remember. It started at toddler years and their friendship only grew with time. They would laugh together, cry together, suffer together, be happy together. But time went by and their lives parted. Each had their own families and had a great happy time with them. She had Read more

I look outside of my window and I see pretty globes. They are blue, some tinted with a bit of purple too. But they are not solid globes. They’re made out of tiny blue/purple flowers. Hydrangeas! that’s the name I was trying to remember, but the name may not matter to you, right? I see Read more

Trying on a writing challenge once again (have I ever mentioned that the only occasion when I write is when I decide to take these challenges?). This time, it comes from the Literary Lion and the word of the week is King. I never lived under a King or a Queen, I don’t like war and Read more

Today I was planning to try to write my second 6th grade essay, as promised in my previous post Writing Challenges, Frogs and Trumpets. But then I got so immersed on creating the graphics that will accompany it, that I almost ran out of time. I’ll still try, but pardon me if it’s not great. I’m Read more

Last week, the writing challenge here was to create haikus. I don’t usually write poetry, at all, but I took the challenge and created 5 of them: Mt. Rainier, Elephant, Meditation, Sunset and Beach. Then this week, on Monday morning, the guy who organizes the morale events in our team, sends us an email announcing Read more
