I write to exorcize all those stories that haunt me at night. Writing has keeping me sane.

So I began my first novel, a political distopian tale of an ambitious female sniper fighting to win her way up to the top.

The 12 Week Year for Writers by A Trevor Thrall
"While the examples primarily draw from academia, the structure is also applicable to fiction writing. This book won't help you figure out the steps of your writing project, but does seem very helpful for *accomplishing* the steps. I have some quibble" Read more of this review »

*adding more books to my TBR*

Have a good day! ;)"



Haha, 5k to acquire, 1.5k owned but not read...

So, until you hit 6.5k, you can point at me if anyone says you have a problem... And even then, I'll probably be on 10 or 15k by the time you get there. :P

That's right... I'm just here to make everyone else look normal.

Figgy Merry Christmas or respective holiday, Amanda! I hope you're having a great one!

Caio I was about to post this in portuguese, but I guess that would look like quite an esoteric mystery to your other visitors.

I find it nice as well to meet someone from São Luís. Some of my friends started using Goodreads with me, but (although on and off) I'm the only one to still use it, so I don't really keep track of the activities very well (or at all).

Had I met you earlier I would have invited you to the launch party of the Nabuco magazine, which happened a couple of weeks ago. You heard of it? It's a project started by a friend who's also here from São Luís.

I'm sorry if this looks like a shameless ad, haha, but I honestly thought you would like to know about it, so here it is. =)

summer Hi Amanda! Thanks for the add. I do consider myself a feminist, after months of identity crises. ;)


message 10: by Inge

Inge No problem! We used to have three cats and they always "helped" me study and read as well. There's one cat left, she sometimes still helps me read, but mostly she helps me watch TV nowadays.
