Writing became a hobby of mine since I was a student. While I enjoyed the writings of others, I’ve never ventured onto this field. In high-school, while writing test papers, especially in literature, I would use this dormant skill to get good grades – it didn’t always work as we HAD to write down the opinion of others, instead of ours – Heaven forbid we use our brain. During my student years, even though I was studying medicine I worked for the school’s newspaper, where I tried my hand in writing articles and poems. After finishing school I had a nagging feeling that something was amiss. I decided to enroll in literature classes, with new hopes – around this time I discovered the wonderful world of creative writing. However these hopes were soon crushed, as I realized my expectations were totally different from what the school had to offer.

Writing down what I felt during different periods of my life helped me cope. There were times when I simply couldn’t express verbally what I felt, but sitting down in front of the computer the words just poured out of my mind, through my fingertips onto the screen. Words helped me in the process of healing and understanding.

This little website exists for that very reason. I want to write down what I feel, what I see, what I think. Kind of like a diary, but a more public one, one that I want to share with all my readers. Lately stories are taking place in my head, especially at night, but as soon as I wake up, the characters fade into my subconscious, ready to burst out at any moment.My creative process is a backwards mechanism – I always know how the story ends, and I build it towards the beginning. The characters change with every word, they dance in my imagination, the scenery changes with a blink of an eye – it’s a dynamic process.

I was asked why don’t I write a book. The truth is, I don’t know if I can find an idea big enough for a book. Short stories, no problem, but an entire book? Of course it would take time, after all, even Rome wasn’t built in a day. It’s a thought that’s worth considering, one that I will not give up so easily!
