On my trip to Buenos Aires , I had pretty much 13 hours to kill by myself, the family was flying 30 hours later. So I had to keep myself busy on a packed Airplane.

Since I was a little girl I wrote short stories that had never seen the light of day, and now a days I have no clue where they are even. Maybe in some of the boxes my dad has in storage in Buenos Aires. Anyways I' m a really avid reader. I love to read. After reading 50 books on the last 8 months I decided that for once i needed to write the story, how I wanted it to be. some of the Books I read were amazing, and others were disappointing letting want more from the core of the characters, and be able to approach them as simple people.

So on my 13 hour flight by my friend Beth's advice I started writing some ideas of what I would want my story to be, characters, plot lines, names. I bought this cute little red notebook at the Minneapolis airport. Shocker is red right? After 3 hours in the plane, I had 8 pages full of ideas and names and started mixing things. A plot overall came to life. Not really sure what to think I waited for John to make it to Buenos Aires. One of the nights we were just hanging around talking i said to him. "What would you say if I told u I have this idea for a book?" He immediately gave his most silly face of "Yeah right and I'm Queen Isabel re-borned in a Man's body". He actually didn't say anything but proposed me to tell him my idea. You have to keep in mind he is the most rational person I know so explaining fiction to him was a bit tricky and nerve racking, because I thought he would hate it. When i was done saying the plot of the first story he was really quiet.

"Wow he said, that might be worth of a book, I really think you should go for it" He said with a grin on his face.

Since that day I've been writing a little bit here, a little bit there until the story completely took over. I've been writing crazy for the last 2 weeks! Now I'm a little more hopefully to see this epic story to come to life someday. Maybe someday other people might enjoy reading it as much as I do everyday. At this point is more of a dream that I want to put on paper before it disappears forever. Sometimes I'm scared I might forget something. It's funny when the characters take over the story, and they know exactly what they want to say when they want to say it.

This journey requires as much support as I can get. My friend Jess is my writing inspiration. We play with ideas back and forth. We don't agree on everything but that is the fun part of it, our brains together make things more interesting. We get together and I read out loud to her the new pages , sometimes she laughs because I change voices and my expressions are funny. So far she thinks is pretty amazing. She actually clapped yesterday. Which made me smile big ! =) Thanks Jess.

 I'm hoping for Beth Brezenoff to be my editor and chief if she is up for the task. She is after all the best. I would love to have her amazing professional skills and her sign off in this project someday.

 John it's been super supportive looking for worlds in "Uk English  " That our character "Loch" would/should say on times of crisis... He gives me ideas for names of places, characters , He at times asks me who they are and how they are like and I described them to him to have a visual and their personality profiled, while he offers me suggestions. Believe me some of those names made me cry of laughter. Thanks Baby!

This project has been an amazing dream of commitment and constant push.  I wish to be done with the first manuscript at least the writing part in the next 6 months. After that I'll have to take the next step and maybe design it. =) I should be an involved author right?

I hope you guys enjoyed my story time, and now know why I've been off this page for so long. 

Love.
