I am so excited! I just published my first ebook in Amazon! It’s a compilation of flash fiction stories, and it’s the first of a series of three books. I wasn’t even thinking about publishing these short stories. A month ago or so, I found them stored away in a binder and I enjoyed reading them so much that I said to myself: I have to share them. The first thought that came to my mind was: Why didn’t I publish these short stories back when I wrote them? Why didn’t I send them to a magazine or an online site for publication? But you know what, the next thought that popped in my mind was, I am sharing them now! I don’t know why I didn’t do it before but I know I am doing it for sure this time!

And now it’s a reality.

In general, we think that we have time to do things. So we find ourselves usually saying, “I’ll do it tomorrow or later.” But when you get sick –with the big C no less– you realize that there is no time to waste. Why do we need a reminder that life is not forever? If we don’t get a wake up call we tend to believe we are immortal. And that, we are not. There is no point in waiting. Waiting for what? I don’t know, just waiting for the right time, I guess. Well, let me spell it out for you: there is no ‘right’ time. There is today and nothing else. So if you have some plan in place, take control today and get on with it. It’s not easy, of course! But it’s doable. As I was preparing to publish my stories, I starting having a thousand questions and I didn’t have the answers. Many times I thought, I should wait to know the answers and then it will be the ‘right’ time. But a little voice –and my boyfriend too, to be honest– kept saying, “do it NOW! Don’t wait to have answers, you know enough.” I knew the time had come to put my writing out there and share it. As an avid reader, I want nothing else than to share my books with others. This is it! Here is my first one in a long list of projects.

Enjoy the reading!
