🌿 How are we doing this?

"Write about writing."

I had seen this day coming since the beginning of the trial, and now, as I sat at my living room table, I am mustering optimism in my face to finish it. There is a sea of endless thoughts and ideas to write down on the paper, but limited time to do it. Both happiness and feelings are the first words that came to my mind when talking about writing. From my point of view, there is no other exercise so intimate than writing. No matter how outgoing or extroverted you are, expressing your feelings with a pen changes you to an introverted position.

    When it is time to create something new, I love talking with me and being friendly with the words I tell myself. To accomplish this new challenge, I must be pretty resourceful and discover through the process instead of making flaws and let them without correction along the way. Nevertheless, this time, I was scared and craving ideas, but none came to my brain until my friends, and I agreed. "Let's do it together, I also want to learn how to write," Johny said. "This way we can support each other with the grammatical aspects and motivate us to continue."


    And what is the whole idea? We desire to create a jaw-dropping text experience you will be proud of, not even knowing us. We got into this trial to see how much we could develop other writing abilities—like accuracy and cohesion. And as a self-taught guy, I have become more thoughtful and meticulous in several aspects in days.  


    A team like us, compromised guys striving for better opportunities, see feasible stuff in plans that sometimes have not. Thanks to this activity, we would have more than fifteen thousand words each of us in thirty-one days, making us more valuable and competent. 


    But I think the main question here is, who or how did you come up with that? Why five-hundred words and not less? Well, I have got the perfect answer for all of them. 


    On February 29, 2020. I decided to try out an English international placement test for the first time—this occasion, IELTS was the guy I wanted to meet. I have always believed that testing is useful for knowing our current level of something; however, this experience was not needed; I was just curious about doing it.


    Overall, I wrapped up that first IELTS test with hope and joy because of the writing section—knowing that I could create something stunning if I practice more. When I received my final score, I thought about the endless opportunities missing out there waiting for someone with this staggering writing power. After all, this was a test I had wanted to make for more than a year but could not pay for it. Because of this story, my friends were encouraged to accept the challenge. 


    And here I am, seven months after, more driven and aware than before, with colleagues pushing me forward and a dream waiting for me somewhere out there. Ready to learn through the process and branch out, concluding that I am up for it. See you tomorrow.


Onward...

📌 Am I an artist?

Am I an artist?  " I guess no because I don't understand a thing when looking at a piece of art." That was the answer I gave myself every time I entered a museum. Does that mean I was insecure? Well, not exactly. I was overwhelmed.   So many techniques, periods, movements, and terms made me feel sick and weak . Art is hard! I didn't study art history or anything related, but I wanted to enjoy random sculptures and artworks. Then I thought, " that had to change."  I needed a  guide   easy to read, but I wanted to create it from scratch. One   day, I took my laptop, a bunch of white sheets and started asking questions to myself. Yes, from the basics like:  What is this?  What do you represent?  How many people painted you? What is the title?   Then, I questioned myself about the moment being there (in the Museum or Gallery). This is what I found: Do the shoes I use when visiting influence my experience?  Should I know the artist be...

🎃 Local Stone...

  "Write a scary story."   The evening. What is the evening? Dead. What is dead? Cruelty. What is cruelty? Reality. What is reality? You will find a poisonous answer soon.   FROM "LOCAL STONE: THE MEXICAN CITY PLAGUED BY DEATH." "God damn, Stone! Fourteen guys more have been shot dead this morning. Fourteen! Did you hear that, Pilo?" A distance voice yelled while hearing the local news on an old radio from 1944. The noise bounced on every wall through the seven-meter-long hallway until it got to Pilo's room. It seemed as if the sound had been produced next to his ear.        "Wait, what?" the guy opened his eyes. Pilo had woken up. His breathing was heavy, disturbing some may assume. Scared and shocked are the words he identified the most later that day. "Fourteen guys, damn. I hoped it would be less. Fourteen families will see their son's bodies today. Fourteen..." He felt an immediate burden over his shoulders; his twenty-two-...

🌠 Emma

"Write about one fear and turn it into a character." Everything started a cloudy morning in March. Moisture around the place provoked me to sneeze and wake up. I was sat in an enclosed room. Perhaps it was the living room. I got rid of the humid bindings covering my eyes. Nothing seemed to have life inside that negative space until the sound of two flies flying around gave me the notion of freedom. Somehow their movements were rhythmic symphonies. I still don't realize how I got there. The floor was jammed-packed with untied boots, and the walls were all coat-colored. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming. My weak back felt the pressure of gravity more than ever.       And Emma was there, leaning forward, looking strong, alive, persuasive, and also, methodical. Hatred was the first sentiment I experienced the moment I looked at her black-in-black eyes. Her right arm placed over her right knee added to the way she was staring at me, paralyzed the time.  She poin...
