I'm in a constant journey of growth and self-improvement. Aren't we all, right? In this quest, I recently came across the term UX Writing. Ever so curious, I was piqued. What is UX Writing? Can I do it? I'm a writer after all, it seems right up my skill tree and something that should be included in that list of…
I haven't blogged in ages. It's no secret. If I still have followers who receive these posts, I'm sure they'll be wondering who, what, when, and why they are receiving this. The truth is I've been in somewhat of a writing hiatus. Yeah, what a way to claim to be a writer, right? Hey, it's not that I don't write…
A nosotras las mujeres nos gustan los piropos, pero a mí (por lo menos) no me gustan los que la mayoría encuentra lindos. Al revés; me gusta cuando me dicen cosas genuinas que probablemente otras personas ni piensan que es un cumplido, pero para mí resultan ser de lo más lindo. "Te queda. Te queda porque va con tu vibra…
2018-12-5 Hoy me siento drenada. Y claro, se lo puedo achacar a los 40, a los nenes, al trabajo... Pero la realidad es que eso no tiene nada que ver. Eso está todos los días y HOY es que me siento drenada. ¿Por qué? Antes hubiera pasado días sintiéndome confundida y culpable preguntándome por qué, pero HOY no; HOY ya…
Everybody is talking about letting go these days. I read about it everywhere. People seem to be obsessed with the notion of "letting go". I understand it completely, but the more I ponder the concept of letting go, the more I realize that in order to let go, you have to do the opposite. First of all, if you need…
Ok. I wasn't going to write about this because it was a supremely personal experience and there is no need to share it, but then again, maybe it's good to share it, so here goes... I was flipping out. I was having a horribly stressful day and I was obsessing about things that were not helping at all, so I decided…
So I wrote a poem about time that I haven't published because I didn't really like it and I realized that I needed to develop the whole time subject better. It seems to me that time is the only actual real thing that exists. And the curious thing about it, is that time comes more or less in equal form…
I've been thinking a lot about resistance lately. What exactly is resistance? Well, in an electrical circuit (yeah, I'm going nerdy, but bear with me), resistance is a material that slows down the flow of the current. Obviously, that's what resistance is in everything: Something that stops the flow. And what happens when there is a lot of resistance? Friction,…
When Frances McDormand said "inclusion riders" during her acceptance speech at the #Oscars2018, I could've sworn she said "writers". "Inclusion writers" made so much sense to me I even tweeted it. You see, I'm a writer. And writers are the people who include the characters in their stories. Whether it be a book, short story, screenplay or whatever, the writers…
Today I read an article about the North Dakota Pipeline and Standing Rock that pleaded to everyone for help. I've been thinking about Standing Rock for some time now and well, her plea reached me and I will do what I do best, write about stuff. I think Standing Rock is way more than an environmental issue. I think…
