First of all, one fact about me: I don’t like poetry. I do appreciate some poets and poems, but, in general, I’m not a poetry lover. So, how did I end up writing and publishing poems? Pretty much by chance, supported by the fact that free verse is considered poetry… by some 🙂 I wrote […]
Roaming the Streets of Rhodes
The weather is so hot in Greece at this time of year, that, as early as ten in the morning, you start hearing people complaining about the heat, looking for shade and a cold drink. So what can you do when it’s too sunny for lying on the beach, too warm and crowded to stand […]
The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu
History is mostly interpretation. It does not only file facts, but it analyzes what those facts mean, and not all things have the same meaning for all people. With so many books and documentaries available, we’re fortunate to live times when vast information is readily available, but also responsible for sifting through the data and […]

The Benefits
The most important reason I decided to publish this short series was the realization that I (still) repress too much – up to the point that I offer a bland and inaccurate image of me. It made me feel like I’m betraying myself, which may not be a good feeling, but is a good indicator […]
The Evaluation
When the last box touched the floor of our new place, a rush of sheer joy replaced my anticipated feeling of relief. That night, when I went to brush my teeth, I looked in the mirror with a huge smile on my face and a healthy feeling of self-appreciation in my heart. Sore muscles and […]
5 Days of Horror Writing Challenge
Earlier this week, I started a writing challenge (the two sentence horror story challenge, to be precise) as an exercise in a genre I am not familiar with. You can read more about it on Google+, where I posted a two sentence horror story every day since Monday. It’s been an interesting challenge, and the […]
Under Reconstruction
One of these years, I’m going to have a perfect summer, even if I have to chase it across the Equator and into December. I seldom have any regrets, but, these days, I still wish summer was not over, because I did not get to enjoy it. The very platform of my life was shaken, […]
Turkey, 5 Years Ago
Five years ago, I went to Turkey to restart all my systems – heal my heart, put my thoughts in order, start being nicer to myself in general. I was worn out, tired of being depressed for putting others first and getting hurtful behavior in return. I was totally decided to stop betraying myself, no […]
