I agree with you. But it is not clear to me if your conclusion is that the content and significance of literature are dependent on the rest or not. Th...

I understand. Do you personally think that a novel is an individualist or collectivist project? I always considered writers as lonely or taciturn peop...

I admire your patience and perseverance. You have dedicated more time to a novel than I have lived to date.

OIGA USTED. Who has not been overrun at least once in its existence?

Yes, exactly. :rofl: I recall that during school, we were required to read newspapers from the UK. One of the news was about a castle in Durham. All t...

I remember getting shocked when I heard the correct pronunciation of that English county for the first time!

Interesting. I use Spanish from the start when writing both stories and poetry. It is how the words come out from our imagination. When it is time to ...

Good job! I am currently tweaking my story as well. I am curious. You are a non-native speaker like me, so I wonder if you write your story first in D...

Clever advice, Vera. You have more experience with writing, and you can give us a lot of wisdom and opinions coming from your own perspective of writi...

I haven't read Gertrude Stein yet, but I think that poem is more aesthetic than many haikus I've ever read.

I don't get it, mate. Do you actually mean 'you are' rather than 'your' 'sorry'?

I can't believe I would agree with you. Perfectly explained and written. I agree with the quote and the rest of your post.

:rofl: I am jealous of the folks who can afford a grave. How lucky they are!

It is funny to remember when Chavez accused Aznar of fascism for backing up the war in Iraq. I wonder what he would think about his beloved Marxist Re...

Exactly, but it is outrageous how Maduro and his corrupt friends and family of PSVD are 'against' the colonialism and imperialism of the USA and Europ...

We already did! Clarky and Jamal were the witnesses, but we decided to keep it a secret. The marriage certificate was issued by the Val d'Aran council...

I personally believe that Venezuela is one of the most failed nations among the pseudo-republics established after gaining independence from us. They ...

I don't know if you believe in coincidences, but I am currently reading a book by Abdulrazak Gurnah, and he uses Swahili in some dialogues through the...

:up: All I can say is, wish you a good night, then!

They spy on us and currently work for the government, sharing our personal data... It is outrageous, isn't it? The European Parliament just passed a d...

The English subtitles are available in this video. Please watch it. I think you would like it. https://youtu.be/zPMGzzPZBQY?feature=shared

Benkei, as a good Dutchman, can be edgy oftentimes.

Yes! That's what I tried to explain. It is interesting how languages have words that cannot be easily translated into others. In our modern era, most ...

Ha! good try, friends. But it is not 'spoiled' because this word is translated into Spanish as 'mimado or mimada,' and as fdrake said, it is usually a...

Hey! That's a beautiful puppy. I wish him the best and a life filled with energy and health. As @"BC" said, dogs are immensely enjoyable and loyal fri...

Thanks, Benkei. I agree, consistency is more important than having a perfect or 'pure' language. Although it absolutely helps me to ground it better i...

Humility is one of the best characteristics that each person should have, and you have this attitude towards life, so it means you are a worthy person...

Oh, Vera! Thanks for your kindness. It cheered me up. Yet, I am aware that I have to proofread what I write because the grammar or punctuation of my s...

It is, mate! Of course, it is relevant to be on the side of the law. For example: I wanted to plant an apple tree next to my house, but the place I ch...

Yeah, I understand you, mate. If I were you, I couldn't have slept at night. Pigeons can be imposing animals oftentimes. I absolutely believe in your ...

I do not know if that would have happened. What I nonetheless know is that pigeons are sophisticated animals: They were used as messengers in ancient ...

Oh my goodness! I will get a 1!

I do not know if this is the correct place to share my struggle with cleaning up the memory of my computer. There appears to be a file called 'Garry's...

Hmm... About lack of taste. It reminds me of the previous contest when haikus were allowed, and you folks were having fun, laughing at my efforts to e...

When I am writing a story, I feel both that it is not good enough and that it needs more correction at the edges. I do not know if this is an example ...

We are not going to use prompts in this literary activity. We are just debating on using this method in an eventual contest in the future.

OK. Every mistake is a lesson learned. Thanks, Teacher Hanover I want to point out to @"T Clark" that, regardless, he is in our dreams and minds, alth...

No. The salt is a mineral.

Hanover is right on his thesis on the cost of saffron. I consulted the Mercadona official app, and 100 grams cost €437.50. It is very expensive. (Plea...

I fully agree with you, my mate. I think this is one of the most interesting activities within the exchanges on TPF. There are a lot of threads that I...

Although giving a prompt for a short story could be a push to inspiration, it could lead us to limited imaginative writing. The stories based on promp...

Paradise, Abdulrazak Gurnah.

@"BC" A brief comment on the combo of tea with turmeric and black pepper. The taste of the green tea is usually flowery, but when you put black pepper...

I am a wannabe English citizen of Yorkshire, so tea is a drink that is always in my afternoons. I will try your combo because I have those products in...

We are surprisingly experiencing inflation on spices, flour, nuts, or seeds. If cardamom is already an expensive spice, I can't imagine how much it wo...

I do like the idea as well. I think it would be interesting and fun for inspiring our creativity. We could do it next spring, for example. And as you ...

Another legal professional mate around here! Nice to meet you, Amadeus. New Zealand seems to be an interesting place to live.

As Vera said, it is an adjective. I don't know if you are looking for a philosophical definition, but in terms of philology and vocabulary we can defi...

I am so sorry to announce this... I don't have cardamom in my house. I just noticed it when I went to the kitchen to have my breakfast. I hope Mercado...

Happy to read this now that I just woke up. :smile: I agree. I often take part in haiku contests, and they are similar to Hanover's proposal. We are g...
