Literary updates

Not that I have entirely abandoned writing recently, let alone my blog; on the contrary, I have never written more before. I have compiled up to almost 50,000 words on a book I still don’t know what shape or form it will take, its name, or even its literary gender. It’s a compilation of personal writings, essentially true anecdotes where only actual names and some of their dynamics and circumstances have been slightly altered. Along with this project, I added other unfinished works: certain paragraphs from Fiction Revised, and a few fictional stories, intimate confessions, all of which points to the individual evolution I am undertaking. I am very excited about this, and hopefully, just as I have turned around my life, I may as well define my work and in the process redefine perhaps a new gender in literature. At the very least, I aim at crafting and polishing a genial piece of art that will be worth the time spent and, specially, make a great reading.
