The story is at the halfway mark, a point of no return, the critical episode in which everything leading up to this moment has been fun. From here on, things get real; temperatures are rising. Are you ready for the moment of truth?
One final teaser about the new story I’ve been touting. If you are a “fã” of Brazil and want to learn or enrich your Portuguese vocabulary, this is your opportunity, “gratis,” free of charge. If you feel “saudade” for Brazil, the expressions, words, and images will bring you lots of “felicidade.” Either way, I hope everyone will feel “prazer” reading it. “Vamos lá?”
The saying goes that curiosity killed the cat. In my new story, the kitty cat, a curious, innocent virgin, gets nailed when she incites a blameless adulterer, stoking a fatal attraction, a forbidden love between them. Shakespeare would have described it eloquently as a “fair maiden inflaming the affections of a steadfast admirer, thereby engendering consequences of a most libertine nature, and she receiving her just reward.”
Like some of you, I, too, have several stories that are in my “to be completed” file. I am actively committed to posting them, however. The interruption is usually caused when a new idea pops into my head, and instead of pushing it forward, it pushes me forward like a boat with a gentle breeze in its sails. My next story, to be posted shortly, is the result of such a twist that I’m excited to share with you. Stay tuned!
For those who celebrate Thanksgiving, as well as those who celebrate a similar day of giving thanks, such as Erntedankfest, Festa Junina, and Doźynki, I hope you have much to be thankful for. I am particularly thankful for SOL, my readers, and their many comments.
