Excerpt: No Title

 Looking for ideas for the new novel I will be writing in November.


"I love you." I said as she walked down the path towards the ocean. I thought she would turn around with a smile on her face and tell me that she loved me to. But Alexandra's face had no expression. Her eyes were filled with sadness and pain and that hurt. I had played a huge part in that pain.
"Love?" She asked. "I've been sitting on the moon for three years alone watching as everyone moved on with their lives...including you. Today is the first day that I actually get to have a conversation with someone in three years, I don't even know what it's like to feel love after all the pain I have been through. I gave you my heart and when I needed you the most, you left me."
"I..."
"Please, I just need you to understand something; Everything has changed, our lives are never going to be the same. Look at me, look what I have become. How can you tell someone that isn't even human that you love them? This isn't a television show or a book. This is real life and in real life, you and I can't be together."
"Khalid loved you and if you had ever given him a chance, do you think he would've said no to your love?"
She smiled. "It's different."
"Why is it different for him but not for me?"
"Khalid is out of this world."She mumbled in her deep thinking.
Sighed.
"Alex..." I took a step closer to her.
"I must go." She said before disappearing into thin air.

Los cerebros que se van y el corazon que se queda

El ensayo: “Los cerebros que se van y el corazón que se queda”, de Magali Garcia Rami es magnifico. Me hizo pensar mucho en mí misma porque mi familia inmigró a los Estados Unidos cuando yo apenas tenia 4 años. Lloraba todos los días, extrañando como nadie se imagina a mi país. Especialmente a mi madre que aún seguía allá. A los 22 años que tengo ahora, ya estoy acostumbrada a vivir aquí. Pero no hay día que no piense o hable de mi país y de esa vida cotidiana y tranquila que se vive allá. García Rami menciona en su ensayo que los inmigrantes o cerebros tienden a reunirse hablar de el país que tratan de no añorar y esa es la realidad.               Cada vez que viajo a la Republica me toma unas semanas adaptarme. Ya adaptada, no quisiera regresar a esta país al menos que no sea de visita. Las reuniones entres vecinos, la confianza, y ese precioso mar que nos rodea, me convierte en una persona tranquila y en una persona ...

I Let Go

 When I commit to something, I like to see it through.  I work hard to see it through.   I ignore the signs and I keep pushing even when there's nothing worth fighting for. This year though, I am learning to let go of everything; I mean people, I mean situations, feelings, and anything that doesn't serve me. And I grieve all of this but in a healthy way.  I allow time to be my friend. I give myself words of encouragement. I give my body, food, vitamins, and exercise. I give my brain meditation and therapy. I read. I cry, I talk to my sister, and my friends. I Let Go. It's the best thing I could've done for myself. At the end of the day, is it really worth forcing something that's not meant to be for you?

A Lost Story #NationalNovelWritingMonth2024

 I watched a love story, a telenovela, many years ago.  I was maybe between the ages of 5-7 when they played it on TV. Something about that telenovela has lived forever in my mind. I thought that maybe with technology advancing we could see the story again. After years of waiting, I found the director (I love the power of the internet) and he gave me the terrible news that...unfortunately, the story was lost forever.  I may not be able to watch it again, but I would like to write it down in my own words. This is my project for the rest of 2024 and part of NANO WRIMO 2024. What are you writing about for the month of November?
