I'm back in Ericeira after a trip to Madeira. It is quite cold here, have been wearing a woolen sweater for most of the day.

Writing the second story

I have three on-going drafts for the second story, I'm not sure which one will make it but surely will be one of them.

Sometimes it is difficult to make the space to write, but part of the effort is to be patient and keep showing up to the papers.

Started exploring a masterclass by Neil Gainman on storytelling, right now have more questions than answers, or even elements to apply in these stories, but excited to see where it goes.

Therapy

I have decided to start therapy again, funny how you believe after some time you have reached a solid-er ground for it to be proven otherwise. Funny. Kind of sad. somewhat hopeful.

Week-long trip

Last week, visited Funchal in Madeira, it is so beautiful there, was in constant awe of the mountains covered in green and mist, the wild landscape, and how easily the weather changed from a minute to another.

Did a lot of hiking with people close to me and shared meals, it was very nice.

Still feeling full from the experience and grateful that I could be there and got to share it with others.

Here are a few pictures to your delight:
