I don’t shy away from a mirror. Even on a bad day, I prefer to check in to see if I look tired, energized, or somewhere in between.
As a child, I remember hearing “If you look in a mirror long enough, you’ll see the devil.” Those words were supposedly attached to some old Irish saying. It doesn’t... Read more of this blog post »

It's so sexy to feel interesting in someone's eyes. To have that moment when he or she is really listening to you, tuning in, eyes lighting up while you ramble on about this or that, it's pure seduction!

Penso alla morte, spesso. E come stanca soluzione.
Talvolta ne delineo i dettagli astratti, e rimugino. E immagino. E mi immagino. E poi, questa sera, una bimba di appena nove anni mi prende per mano e mi dice: Vera, ma perché io esisto?
Nove anni, santo Dio. Lunghi capelli biondi ed occhi nocciol... Read more of this blog post »

2) It is impossible for an Author to proof their own work. Our brains have a built-in auto correct feature.

3) Just because you pay a free-lanc... Read more of this blog post »
