WriterExperimenting through Words.
Awakening the Reader in You!
I wasn’t always a writer, but I tried and eventually became the author of two books, “Caracas: The Valley of Fear. A Chaos Sustained by Chavistas and Cubans” and “Emotional Abuse: Get Out! Before it Ruins your life”. Both are available in the Spanish language as well.
I intend this blog to be an experimental laboratory for writing, sharing thoughts about the human experience, and documenting my journey with the readers.
If my writings ignite a spark in you to write, I will consider it my good luck!
My Story
I was in my twenties when I met a big publisher who, by coincidence, read a poem I had submitted for the Sunday supplement of the newspaper I was interning at. He called me into his office on the 9th floor, where only a few people could visit.
He was direct and to the point: “You are not a journalist; you are a writer.” It took me years to fully understand the meaning behind those words, but they have stuck with me ever since.
Although the publisher was right, fear held me back from fully embracing my calling as a writer. Talent is not the only factor at play; fear can also prevent us from pursuing our dreams. I chose the “safer” path of journalism to avoid facing my true purpose in life.
I am not alone in this experience. That’s why I have taken the first step in creating this website, where I can share my journey and help others overcome their apprehension and limitations as they strive for their writing goals.
I invite you to join me on this journey and share your thoughts, challenges, and learning experiences as we navigate to become real writers.
