Rosetta had never talked to that man too much, even if he had been her tenant for a couple of months already. The small apartment she had inherited from her grandmother and that she had rented him was on the seventh floor, under the roof, at the top of the building, out of the sight […]
I’m looking through the keyhole, again. I know I shouldn’t do this. I know I shouldn’t get lost in pleasure I cannot obtain. Not in this way, not like this. Society consider this taboo; considers this a sin. But what can I do, besides being myself? I like me – mostly. If there is a […]
Tom opened that door. It was pitch black beyond it and it felt strange: he couldn’t see a thing inside, even if the light in the corridor was supposed to illuminate at least the first couple of steps. Yet, the presence of Ron – his guide and friend – behind him was somewhat reassuring. He […]
I wrote about choosing a title for your novel or collection some days ago, and I wanted to elaborate furthermore bringing an actual example to the discussion. It’s very difficult to find a suitable title for a collection. In those cases, I think the approach “A feeling” , described in the other post, is by […]
Brandon would have never thought to be in such a situation, a couple of hours before. When his friend Taryn had called him proposing a game of Chicken Fight, he had definitely thought he was joking. They hadn’t played that game since middle school, they were too old for that. He had thought of some […]
I’m looking at you, but since I’m not sitting directly in front of you, you still don’t realise it. There’s something strange in you, and yet you’re alluring as no other woman around.

Apart from the ones suffering the so-said writer’s block (but you can get out of it, you know?), every writer I know is a bottomless well of ideas. A new sentence, a new ending, a new beginnig, a new character, a new character’s flaw, a new logo, a new song that your character may sing […]
Choosing the title of your book is something only you or your editor should do. To anyone asking for a title for their story (usually providing only a short synopsis of it…) I usually answer with these words: Would you let someone else name your child? Because there’s simply no way someone other than who […]
“Should I wake him up?” Louise thought when she entered the room. It was morning, and she was ready to go to work. Still, the man she had met the night before was still on her bed. “Mike, was it his name?” She thought. She wasn’t sure, though, so she decided not to pronounce it. […]
“I’ve always liked you”, you answered. “You mean… also…” There was no time to answer, because you had already pinned me against the wall, and in a single motion your lips had come so close to mine that I could feel your breath. “Lisa, I like you too, but…” I didn’t know what “but” I […]
