Margaret Atwood’s ‘Negotiating with the Dead: A Writer on Writing’ in the Contemporary World
If one were to distill the complexity of the writer’s journey into a singular image, it could perhaps be the writer at a desk, pen poised over paper, caught in a silent, intense negotiation. This negotiation, as Margaret Atwood beautifully articulates in her compelling book “Negotiating with the Dead: A Writer on Writing,” is the intimate and intricate process of writing itself.

Are Fear and Anxiety Your Best Friends?
I feel you. I´ve been there. You are in pain. It hurts everything that exists. And everything it doesn't. Even the air that you breathe comes into your lungs in chunks of oxygen, choking you at every inhalation. The shadows are darker and they invoke a continuing absence of quiet in your mind. The panic takes control produced by those memories and thoughts that keep popping up like uninvited guests to the party.

Creating Illusions
First, we believe we are going to live forever and that we are invincible. Then we act as if it is true. Then, we treat the world according to this false principle of phony magnanimity. And then, when the time has come, we realize how wrong we were, how little we lived, how much we hurt, how briefly we flew. As a reminder of that unique, decisive moment, you are welcome to read my poem called Illusion.

Eternal me
You always looked at immortality as an attractive, powerful thing because is out of our human consciousness's reach. Therefore, vampires, wizards, and eternal beings had such an impact on our lives and our cultures. And then, there is the pseudo immortality, where creators, inventors, artists, and writers live forever through their work. Allow me please to share with you my piece of eternity and humbly hope you enjoy it. Is a peek into my ancient mind.
