Hello, @theinkwell. I didn't really know there was a community that values short stories, so I'm pleasantly surprised by this finding. Although I don't usually write in English, since I'm not very fluent in it and my mother tongue is Spanish, I've been leaning towards short stories. I must say that literature has always been part of my life. Telling, reading and listening to stories, I am passionate about it. Since I was a child I grew up surrounded not by books, because my parents were too poor to buy them, but by people who told their lives as if they were the most extraordinary adventures in the world. From there, perhaps, I see that even in the most insignificant elements, there are wonderful stories. I not only write literature, I also read it. I try to make stories every day. There are stories that come easily to me, others take a while. So I can have thousands of unfinished stories waiting for an ending. I don't have a schedule to write, because I do it on impulse and the best way I've found is by reading. When we read we have all our senses awake: we are as close as possible to everything. Sometimes, the simple act of riding on public transport, for example, stopping at an image, makes me visualize a story. Some writer friends are recommending that I take some stories and make a book. My subject matter goes from science fiction, to children's literature, to writing about the reality of my country, Venezuela. In short, I am excited to find this community and I hope to publish in ea. Greetings
