Writing
It had been a while, but I just wrote a short story. I mean short, it's only three pages long. It is in Spanish and it is based on the same episode I once covered in this blog post. Like the blog post, it is composed of memory fragments that have been fleshed out and fictionalized. I have submitted the story for publication in an online newspaper in Puerto Rico, and if it gets published I will post the link here.

Absolutely awesome! I know you have the heart and desire to be a writer. Thru good times and bad that has always been within you. Writing is a wonderful form of therapy for me, and I'm sure it is for you as well. Just the process of putting our thoughts together and creating a story lifts us above the everyday irritations of life. Will be crossing my fingers that your story gets published. Now I'm headed back to re-read the post it originates from. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe new story is different in tone from this recollection, though. The same element of yearning is present, but there's more skepticism towards the ritual and less of a sense of personal failure.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good Ingrid, as certainly your failure to "fall for this" reflected no lack on your own part, but rather an absence of true spiritualy in the ritualizers themselves. :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you get published. That would be so cool. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteYAY! My fingers are crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteAquí tendrás una lectora ávida de tus escritos.

That's wonderful! I'm looking forward to reading it and not only because of the subject. ;)
ReplyDeletePossibly next week. I'll keep you posted.
