Of small success and loneliness

Hey, people. How's it going? Been away for a while. Many things happened. Many more bound to happen. Thought on updating things a bit for all who care.

First, an awesome news I haven't commented here: I'm gonna be Uncle. Yeah, my sister is expecting a baby girl, so it really makes me happy.

Second, on a more personal success, I've been selected among the winners of the first-ever YMIR contest at Larp Editores. Remember the graphic novel I teased about back in November and Devember of 2011? That was "Meeting Vlad", one of the six winning stories. I am extremely surprised it won, seriously.

Because of such win, I am invited to assing next April's Book Fair at Buenos Aires. I'm considering going, of course, but I am truly scared of the city. -.- Hopefully it'll be a one-day trip. I might even bring some of my BioMundo books to try to advertise there. Sounds like a good idea, but I still have to ask if it's okay to do that.

Been quite thrilled on TV shows, lately. Mythbusters is back, but there's also Unchained Reaction, which is basically Jamie and Adam making people build insane contraptions. So far it looks funny, like Junkyard Wars (man, I miss THAT one).

My Little Pony keeps getting better, but I must say I am quite stunned of Legend of Korra. I recently saw the first two episodes and it brings me a very strange kind of joy. The setting is much more "modern" than I expected, but it does seem to blend quite well. Oh, and I REQUEST a proper Pro-Bending videogame. It HAS to be done, people.

I'm having tons of ideas for new stories. I don't seem to be able to put them on paper, though. I feel I'm missing something... Lack of inspiration? That can't be, otherwise I wouldn't have so many ideas. It's more of a "what's the use? who'd care?" kind of feeling, which is nasty. The ideas include two short novels, a compilation of small sci-fi tales, and of course, a certain trilogy I've been attempting to write since 2001-2004, can't remember properly. I really, really need to start typing.

And when all is said and done... I'm feeling rather lonely. I guess I've always had problems in the "social" part of my life, and here I am now, wondering about that. I feel I'm waiting for an answer that is not coming. Ever. I'll dare to guess it's one of those situations in which you must not wait, but dare to step forward, so I'll see.


But anyway, I've bored you all long enough. Many things to be done... very little time to do all of them. I'm looking forward to draw a bit more, or something. See you all around.
