I Have Something to Share

What is the project you've dedicated most time?Writing.And even that is a lie.Let me take a moment to remember what it is to share. Let me remember the button down pattern on my skin; how to strip everything off and lay it on the counter exactly how it is. Let me take a moment to remember how it felt to skinny dip with strangers and not knowing their faces.Let me remember.Because once, I was...

Going Public With My Writing

Hello, so as some of you may know, I've been a member of Mibba for 4 years. Like most noobs those days, I started writing on Quizilla and eventually found Mibba to transfer to. Truth be told, I sucked at writing. Hardcore. I would enjoy it, but the content was far from enjoyable. Trust me. In fact, I still have my old stories I read from time to time to make myself realize that what I am capable...

Encontrado my voice (and a video of my hometown)

I am the result of a Guatemalan mother and an american dad. I am a mix, but I don't feel like a mix. I am latina. Yo soy chapina. For so many years I neglected my native language. I grew up trying to define the language in my head: Español, English, spanglish, inglish, Spanish, it would make my head spin, literalmente.Fact is, I learned inglés before Spanish. By the time I was 3 I was this...

Day 2: The Top Ten List

For today's Mibba Book Challenge, I'm going to list ten books (in no particular order) that I hold very dear and suggest anyone to read. I'll only write the summary because, after reading the other prompts, I noticed that I'll eventually end up talking about these books and their personal meaning to me anyway. So, for now, this is a suggestion list.Chan's Top Tenin no particular order1. “I dont...

Day 1: Books Are Worth Stealing

I'd decided to participate in Mibba's Blog Challenge. This is my first time and I'm super excited. For day one, the challenge is very simple: Your favorite book (a picture would be great) and 3-5 interesting things that happened to you while reading the book. I immediately thought of three books, but one stood out the most.The Book Thief by Markus ZusakLiesel and death taught me many things. One,...

Chan's Trick Basket

Hello lovelies. So Halloween is rolling in again. Sadly, Halloween isn't a a big thing here in Guatemala. In fact, most people consider it demonic and shun it because it's a "sin" and it has ties with "witchcraft". I kid you not. I used to have so much fun when I celebrated Halloween up in the States and felt immediate disappointment when I came back home. Sure, people do dress up and go out, but...

Shameless Contest Pimping | New Story Idea | Please join said contest

Some of you might not know this, but moxie; and I created the most brain wrinkling contest one could ever type up. Honest words here. We spilled blood, sweat and tears on this baby. We came up with a new math to get the scores, the most out-of-your-mind challenges, and hours of verbal conflict on who does what. Yeah. This is the ultimate contest bomb, the kind you join with bared claws and murder...
