This Is The End.

Well, for my current novel is. After seven months, thirty chapters and two hundreds and eight pages, it´s over, done. My fiends Cristina and Lucas will finally have the deserved rest, until someone opens the book and bring them to life.


My novel "Amar vocĂȘ" (Love you) is about two young adults, that after apart, from some issues and most because of them, after ten years, they re-encounter and start their relationship again. It´s not that easy, there is a middle and most important, the beginning, which is told in form of flash-back but not a common one, in form of memories until the day they finally meet again.


Lucas and Cristina´s name are based on the lead characters of Point Pleasant TV series, which helped me because I had no idea of names, but the whole novel is the junction of three short stories, which the main is the principal plot, the Lucas and Cristina´s love story and other two, which I wanted so bad to make this into a novel and these two others helped me during the journey.


I love all my characters and Lucas and Cristina aren´t different, after all I spent seven months with them, not to mention they are part of me, flaws, qualities, fears and other feelings. just like all my characters, not to mention the support characters, which are also a little bit of me and others. It´s sad to say goodbye to them, but it´s also happy to finish something with love, the love I put in every chapter, paragraph, line and punctuation, something that I put, more than anything my total effort and heart, it´s over and the way I planned.


Now, it´s the hard part, proofread it, take copies, get the rights and try to publish it. I have good feelings this one will finally see print, after all it´s a love story, I´m good at love stories and it WILL be publish, I hope. After I wrote the last paragraph, I felt something, not that happiness and satisfaction feeling but the feeling of a well done job and I know my hero and inspiration would be proud of my, my prophet Jane Austen, thanks my lady for make me the author I always wanted to be.

Words Can Be So Harmful.

Well, I´m feeling so bad right now, so miserable that I really don´t know how I´ll make through the day. I woke up nice but after those words, I was turned my mood and here I am, feeling that way.


Why words can cause so many warm? Specially those I just listened to, from someone so special and close, why? After I heard about my life, the way I live and how I deal with things, I can´t act differently, not right now and maybe not for a while.


It should have been a great occasion, I´m almost finishing my novel, it´s only a few pages left to write, it´s doing well, the story has come perfectly and everything fitted but because of that, of my novels and dreams that I listened to those words.


Who am I thinking I´ll become a author? I should have stayed in real life instead of living a crazy and stupid dream, not to mention about my mistakes, those I made back them, those I made in a month ago and some that I´ll make in the future. Well, after that I drunk my coffee and went to work, feeling bad and sad, devastated during the subway, like a 25 minutes trip lasted a lifetime.


Now I´m at work, in front of my computer and I really can´t do anything less than feelling that way, I locked my door and I hope nobody comes bothering me, not now or during the day, I´m feeling like digging a whole and go inside it, disappear for a while and then re-start as someone brand new but It´s impossible, I´ll have to stay me, face everything and everyone and put that behind, like I always do but this time, it´s pretty hard to do that. Indeed, I´ll get better by the end of the day, I´ll try something to help me get through it, maybe a movie or someone but this sadness will last for quite a while, if there is a light that never goes out, I think it´s not for me, not for this person who dared to dream, a dream that he may not see fulfilled but it´s not right or fair to say the truth for a dreamer, he has to break his face by himself, which by some help, I already broken mine.

My Best Friend Forever.

I´m a big Law and Order: Criminal Intent fan, since it started I´ve been watching the adventures of Detective Robert Goren and his partner Alexandra Eames, every Thursday night and after it came to USA Network, I was browsing the official site and I went to the Forum´s section, I´m a member of numerous forums and I was a little cautions to be member of another one, I went there and took a look, liked and signed in. I waited for the confirmation and the next day I started to post, my first one, an introduction to other members, one member, called Krodgers answered and gave me the proper welcome in fact, a harm one and I realised this site would be totally different from any other I was part.


The time passed, I posted and posted and one day, Krodgers always so nice and her anniversary came and I decided to give her a virtual gift, I PM her with a gif image showing my congratulations for her anniversary, she loved and from that PM on we became Best Friends Forever.


I love her, from the bottom of my heart, she is fantastic, so nice, amiable, we PM each other always, with some fine word, a gif image or just to say hi, I really appreciate her friendship, it´s really important, she is fantastic and I always, when I go to the forum wait for a PM because I know will be so joyful and will make me and my heart happy.


I`ve never wondered the fact I love Law and Order: Criminal Intent could gave me not only entertainment and a great one hour per week but also a extraordinary and fantastic friend like Kathy, I´m really thankful to it to her for being my friend and the most important thing, my Best Friend Forever.


Kisses and Hugs from your BFF

A Perfect Day Arrived.

Well, I´m in London, in fact I always wanted to come here, for quite a while to be true but always postponed it, no reason, but most of time was money that made me do that, but not this time, specially after Craig invited me, to finally meet them, my coolest twitter friends.


For a long time I was apart from those communication channels like twitter, facebook and myspace and now I´m part of all, in part I can thanks Justin, my x-friend, we both share the love for X-men comics and I´m also administrator of http://www.xmenfansite.com/, I take care of preview and news part, all related to X-Men comics and also I put some cool games and topics, to spice things up, he convinced me to join twitter,in fact he created my page but after I made my own path, facebook came after and I realized what I was missing and later what I gained.


I had no idea how twitter worked, Justin helped me a lot but I had to find, like I said find out by myself, how to make things work, to follow and be followed, I had no choice but try and then follow Friday came, it was my first one and I had no idea what it was and I indeed figured that out. Another black taxi cab, I look like a fool amazed with those things,as well as double Decker buses, indeed I´m a fool, a one that the first thing I did when I arrived in London was going to King´s Cross Station, just because an old Pet Shop Boys´song. I still remember, Emma was my first follow Friday,the one that actually followed me in return,I was attracted by her vintage photo pic /avatar,and she was so nice I still remember that question I made "I will follow you, follow me?" and she did, and post after post we became good friends,which was so great, I just made an extraordinary friendship with such nice girl,totally out of blue, I just can´t spend a day without at least read one of her posts and say "hi" to her, she always has something cool to tell, something new, I really like her.


Two days here and I feel part of the place, totally different from the "Hellblazer" comics London I was used to and equal to "Nothing Hill" movie and "About a boy" novel and movie as well, those that I watched so many times that I can say the lines without any problem, so many people passing by me, a huge diversity, so cosmopolitan, a little bit like Rio de Janeiro but for me, it´s like a new world, I fell like Doctor Who in London, even the series is been shooting in Cardiff and not London, two days, so many places i ve been but they promised that will take me to know London a little better and I really can´t wait. Craig said will be a surprise, just like I was added by him on follow Friday and then to my close friends list, just like Emma, we instantly became friends, he always had and has a good word, something to talk with, to tell or say, he is fantastic. every time I had a date, he always encouraged me ,wished me luck and even when those turned into nothing, he gave me a word, I like him a lot and this opportunity to meet him is a once in a lifetime that I won´t pass.


Billy and his love for Nadine, his interesting posts and his attempt to turn me into an Arsenal fan, also a visit to Emirate Stadium, will a Manchester United fan become a Gunner fan, I´ll try to avoid it but as I told him, I like Arsenal too and for him, anything.We both share a love for Family guy and Simpsons, I brought some Family Guy gifts for him and a Nadine´s poster but It´s a secret.


Laura is so cute, her gorgeous round and vivid green eyes, she is so amazing, I remember hers and Emma´s FF video, I loved the way she tried to say my user name, she was so worried to say it right but in the end she did, she and Emma are so good and together, twice as good, I´m so lucky to have friends like them. She also post fantastic things, I always wanted to meet her, to see what I already know in person, how extraordinary she is and this is the time for that, I´m so nervous, I have to calm down and enjoy every moment, no time for nothing but good times, worries and nervous stayed in Brazil.


Being here has been so far, the most fantastic experience I´ve ever lived, I went to other places but this time is different, no strange in a strange place, I always want to visit other places, Manchester, New Castle, Jane Austen´s museum, that I won´t miss for nothing but right now London and everything it has to show me. I can´t stop look to my clock, waiting for the time they will arrive, to finally meet them. I can´t believe that in only two day I bought so many CDs, I really don´t know how I´ll travel back, I have to send them by mail or I´ll be arrested in Brazil, I´ll pass and by far so much the importing limits but who cares, I found what I´ve bee looking for and that only mattes but I will figure something out. That´s time I wish no to live in a country which is so hard to find good music and specially those that I like. Leanne is another great friend, she and Christina are always nice and I with great things to share, Leanna is so mysterious, always like me, with a photo pic that hides but showing something, she is beautiful, she needs to show that to us. Christina is amazing too, we are http://blip.fm/ friends too, I like her music pics, always a great choice, I hope both can show up, I really do.


Oh my God! I can´t believe, here they are, just around the corner, waving to me, Emma, Craig, Laura and Billy, finally I´ll meet them, Leanne and Christina also made it ! I can´t feel anything less that happiness and excitement, I open an ear to ear smile , waiving back. What a moment, I finally will meet my fantastic, amazing, astonishing, extraordinary... stop! My twitter friend and indeed I can say the perfect day arrived, finally.


To be continued...






Well, this is just an imaginary story, I hope one day it could become a true story and I can meet my great friends. It´s a homage to Emma, David, Laura, Billy, Leanne and Christina for being so great,friendly and way beyond any compliment, I was luck enough to meet them on twitter and be their friend, I hope our friendship can last forever and after, like 50 years we can still be on twitter, talking, posting and enjoying live, I really hope so and for me it will.


Thank you guys, you all live in my heart.

I also wrote seventeen pages of my novel, it´s reaching its final moments and some turning points are waiting, not to mention that today I also wrote five pages before going to work.


I hope the rest of week continues like Monday, I will be astonishing happy if that happens.


VIVA!
