I have no doubt that writing is important.


I have no doubt that writing is important. I wish an expert, a professional writer put himself at the disposal of my questions to discuss writing. Somebody who’d not only read a work- whether my own or others’ or his’- but cover it with commentary.

I don’t... Maybe writers are not meant to be together in the same place, and if writers share my same propensity to solitude we’ll never meet each other and it’s not because one’s doesn’t feel particularly at ease with rival authors- I’ve a feeling the writers I admire are and were modest and affable, sort of person of the next door  (ok, how can I guess it? But I image Pessoa as a cordial person). But how can you be close to somebody who share your same solitary propensity. I sometimes would make a point of attending the parties, but I leave the idea, withdrawing  into a quiet corner where I could watch the panorama from the window in peace. I prefer the company of animals, this is a fact. Aw, it’s not one feels contempt for society, parties or whatever, sometimes one just cares for other things, like calm and tranquility.

I reckon aloofness is a result of one’s nature or one’s need – it’s not a constant research… one doesn’t force himself into solitary retreat, sometimes seclusion is seeken voluntarily and deliberately.
But I might came to realize that I would have to change according to the changing circumstances of life, and presumably I’ll think, behave differently than now- but I am sure I’ll be transparent between thought and word, but also between word and deed. I know myself, I might be changing idea about something but I am anytime loyal to my own ideas within in my practical life.

I am careful to insist I feel comfortable in my propensity to solitude but who knows, a meeting, an event might give way to accomplish such a change. Maybe: no. I simply wish my style could improve, get distinction, I spend my time in polishing my prose. The plot of my stories are getting well-constructed and my characters convincing. But this is just my opinion, how I wish I knew a writer: an expert. I am an enthusiastic person who thinks she can develop the capacity to feel intensely. Each day in my life I try to produce my best. Even now that I feel tired, plagued by sinusitis. Again.
