New Challenges

My last few days in Portugal were spent visiting friends, talking, walking, going to the beach, buying books, phoning, texting, buying food, travelling and more ings than I care to remember.

I did think about writing.
And I did write a bit.

Or, to be more precise, I typed. I typed half of the changes (so far) that I'd done on the fourth draft of my book: Morto Árvore Besta.

And I spoke with Alexandra about a variety of projects. The short stories I had written to the New Scientist Competition came about. And so did a short script for MONO and another short piece for The City. And so did a not-so-short children's story about a Giant.
She will let me know at some point which story she wants to work on and I'll try and adapt/translate it for her.

My objective right now is to finish Morto and then find a cheap online printers, enter a few competitions and send it to a few publishers...

Gotta start sending some copies out the door my friends...

Peace!
