Brand-new short stories

Aha! I've beaten WDC! I'm updating my blog and they haven't even reminded me to do it yet! Ah, the joy we get from such minor things...

Anyway, I wrote another short story. Now, I've got only fasting, prayer and self-mutilation ahead of me. I mean, I've got to edit it. Besides, I'm writing yet two more. As usual, in answer to dares I received. The problem is that I've got to finish writing them, then edit them and translate them to English. I could write direclty in English, but then I'd lose the other language's perspective. Besides, Portuguese is close to my heart, while English turns on the analytical process. Let's not get started about the other languages, since I don't master them and so they're just used as once-in-a-while assets.

I've realised I like ambiguous endings and vanishing characters. Yea, vanishing. They simply do not matter to the story, which could very well do without them. How very odd. It seems my negative criticism on my writing was right after all.
