On poetry and culture shock
Because the blogosphere needs haikus.

GUIRI: In Spain, a foreign person, especially a tourist. For my friends, it also applies to me, a Spanish woman who likes to live in English-speaking countries.

I have wanted to be online for a long time, but I never found the time to teach myself how to make a proper website. Now that getting a blog is technnically as easy as getting a Yahoo email address, it seems a start.

Brief comments on what it means to be a foreigner in an American University town.

Poetry, mostly my own, and bits of other people's.

Alan Spence and Gapingvoid.
Gapingvoid didn’t exist when Alan Spence wrote:

“You start off seeing yourself as this writer who also happens to be teaching for a living. Then you think you’re a teacher that does a bit of writing from time to time. Then finally.” He shrugged. “You realize”
“You mean you’ve given up writing altogether?”
“__It’s__ given __me__ up”.


Just when I think that people will scream at me if I mention this one more time, someone emails me to say that they found Gapingvoid through me and found it useful. So here it goes again: Hugh McLeod, the creator of the amazing Gapingvoid cartoons, has a PDF about How to Be Creative that you can download. It is not a manual about how to do what you do, but about how not to feel like that character in Alan Spence’s novel, so that you can juggle creativity with the rest of your life. Highly recommended.

For anyone interested in marketing and advertising there is the Hughtrain, too, another PDF.
